Disney+ Media Relations has officially announced that James Cameron’s Oscar®-winning global blockbuster, Avatar: Fire and Ash, will stream exclusively on Disney+ starting June 24.
Read my Avatar: Fire and Ash review.
The third film in the phenomenally successful Avatar franchise was a major theatrical event upon its December 2025 release. It grossed a worldwide total of $1.48 billion and earned an Academy Award® for Best Visual Effects. The film was praised by critics and fans alike for its grand spectacle, thrilling action, and “spectacular visual effects, dazzling new environments, and stunning new creatures“.
The movie dominated the domestic box office for five consecutive weeks. However, its theatrical staying power did not match its predecessors, as it fell out of the top five in only its seventh weekend of release, a record pace compared to the original Avatar (12th weekend) and The Way of Water (11th weekend). Despite this, it was reported to be holding stronger than its 2022 predecessor in the early weeks of its run.
The film will join the existing Avatar Collection on Disney+, which includes the first two installments in the series and the documentary Fire And Water: Making The Avatar Films.
