I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.
- Avatar: Fire and Ash is 7/2 to beat the global record set by Avatar in 2009

Can James Cameron’s Latest Epic Break Box Office Records?
Avatar: Fire and Ash, the highly-anticipated third instalment in James Cameron’s visually-stunning sci-fi franchise, hits cinemas this week and bookmakers have launched a series of specials around the movie’s global box office performance.
The 2025 epic follows up The Way of Water and is expected to dominate the holiday box office, but can it scale the same financial heights as its predecessors?
Bookies seem to think there's a good chance of it happening with the latest market going 7/4 that it grosses over 2.5 billion at the box office.
The first Avatar movie remains the highest grossing film of all time and the odds give an implied probability of 22.2% that we'll see that broken with the third movie in the franchise.

(Needs to surpass $2.923 billion)
