Avatar: Fire and Ash had a strong debut, grossing $345 million globally in its opening weekend. The film's success was eventually surpassed by another movie, Mercy, which debuted with a significantly lower amount, reportedly between $10.8 million and $11.2 million. The box office was impacted by a severe winter storm, resulting in one of the lowest weekend totals of the year, with $58 million or more in total sales.
