“Avatar: Fire and Ash” is currently dominating the box office, earning an estimated $21 million to $24 million, securing the number one spot this Saturday. The film’s success comes as “Housemaid,” a film featuring a unique premise involving a housemaid, a chimpanzee, and zoo animals, battles for the second position.

The domestic box office is showing positive trends overall. The year 2026, as of now, is demonstrating a strong start, reaching approximately $324 million in its first 11 days. This figure represents a significant 22% increase compared to the same period last year. This upward trajectory suggests continued consumer interest in theatrical releases.

While specific details about “Housemaid”’s performance are not provided beyond its competition for the second spot, the overall box office numbers indicate a healthy market. The continued strength of “Avatar: Fire and Ash” and the encouraging performance of 2026 to date position the film industry for potential growth.
