I’m sick. I’m late. This will eventually get better. Maybe.

Our final number one movie of 2025 is Avatar: Fire and Ash, which sees a fantastic hold with a yuletide take of $64 million and a drop of only 28%. That’s the Cameron magic at work. It’s always about the legs with these movies, but the internet is still going to insist to me that millions of people don’t like and enjoy Avatar non-ironically. Also, Fire and Ash has already made it past $760 million globally. By this time next week, Cameron will be the only filmmaker on the planet with four $1 billion hits under his belt. He might actually be the king of the world after all.

Yes, yes, Fire and Ash isn’t performing quite as impressively as The Way of Water or the genre-defining mega-blockbuster that was the 2009 original (which no one liked, mind you, people just hate-watched a film so much it became the biggest of all time). The three hour and fifteen minute runtime is taking a slight toll here. Still, overall, Fire and Ash is a spectacular show, and it’s easily going to rule the next two weekends at the box office, and could maintain its reign for even longer than that.

Disney has double-bragging rights over the holidays with Zootopia 2, which overcomes all newcomers this weekend and last weekend’s leftovers targeting the same market. Sorry, weird people online who were rejoicing over David “beating Disney,” but it was a short-lived dream. Zootopia 2 truly is the most impressive blockbuster of 2025, and the speed at which it’s been raking in cash has been insane. Incidentally, Zootopia 2 is already the biggest Hollywood animated movie ever internationally, overtaking Inside Out 2. Insert abortion joke of your choosing here.

But really, it’s a good weekend for everyone this Christmas. Marty Supreme is showing, well, supreme business, becoming one of A24’s best openings ever with $28 million in the bank since opening on Christmas Day (but let’s be real, it opened Christmas Eve). Critics are over the moon for this one, which hopefully will be able to overcome some (truly stupid) bad takes on Letterboxd and find some healthy legs. This is the kind of original bonkers film we keep claiming we want, so I’m rooting for it all the way.

We’re not done yet, as Anaconda also slithered into theaters for the holidays. This one fell a bit below tracking, but then again, this is a “reboot” of a franchise which hasn’t had a theatrical outing since 2004. It’s kind of amazing this got made at all. For my money, it looked hilarious, but broad comedies sadly aren’t as bankable in theaters as they were even a decade ago. Similarly, Song Sung Blue also probably would’ve enjoyed a bigger premiere back in the day. Still, neither release had a “bad” opening, and it is Christmas, the time of legs.
