For the first time in its box office run, James Cameron‘s Avatar: Fire and Ash dropped out of the domestic top 10 this weekend. The movie has spent a remarkable 10 weeks in the top 10. As impressive as the achievement sounds, however, it’s nothing like the success that the first Avatar and its sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, saw during their respective runs. For instance, the original Avatar spent 14 weeks in the top 10, seven of which were at number one. It remains the highest-grossing movie in history with a lifetime global haul of $2.9 billion. Avatar: The Way of Water, on the other hand, spent 15 weeks in the domestic top 10 on its way to grossing $2.3 billion worldwide. It’s the third-biggest film in global box office history. Avatar: Fire and Ash couldn’t quite match either of its predecessors’ box office performances, putting the future of the landmark franchise in limbo.

The epic sci-fi film also earned less favorable reviews compared to the first and second installments. It’s sitting at a 66% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus reads, “Remaining on the cutting edge of visual effects, Fire and Ash repeats the narrative beats of its predecessors to frustrating effect, but its grand spectacle continues to stoke one-of-a-kind thrills.” By comparison, the first Avatar movie has an 81% score, while the second has a 76%. Both the first and second films earned Best Picture nominations at the Oscars, an achievement that Avatar: Fire and Ash wasn’t able to replicate. The threequel’s performance has raised questions about the franchise’s future, especially with Cameron saying he wants to explore other projects, and because of the high cost and time commitment required to make Avatar films.

Here’s How Much ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Has Grossed at the Box Office

That said, the third installment managed to pass its final domestic box office milestone — the $400 million mark — in its 11th weekend of release. With an additional $1.07 billion from overseas markets, the movie’s cumulative global haul stands at $1.48 billion against a reported production budget of $400 million. It grossed around $4 million worldwide this past weekend, which suggests that the $1.5 billion mark might be out of reach. Avatar: Fire and Ash is among the 60 highest-grossing films in global box office history, but has clearly underperformed in the domestic market. It has grossed less domestically, for instance, than two other Disney releases from 2025 — Lilo & Stitch and Zootopia 2. With a 90% audience score, Avatar: Fire and Ash will likely do well on the PVOD and streaming markets. But you can still watch it in theaters. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Michael B. Jordan Scores Big At 32nd Annual Actor Awards

According to reports, the 32nd Annual Actor Awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards or the Screen Actors Guild Awards, went down at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California, on the evening of Sunday, March 1. Furthermore, the ceremony was hosted by Kristen Bell and streamed live via Netflix. The event ultimately culminated with Michael B. Jordan taking home the award for “Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role.” This, for his dual role in the April 2025 Ryan Coogler film, ‘Sinners.’

During his acceptance speech, Jordan expressed surprise at winning the honor and acknowledged his fellow nominees, Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, and Jesse Plemons.

“I remember as a kid in this industry, and you had to earn your vouchers to become a member of SAG. And I remember, I thought it was this club I wanted to be in so bad, but you had to get vouchers, depending on how many lines you had, and an episode or a show would determine if you got that membership card or not,” he explained. “And I remember watching all the other actors I looked up to, being a part of that club… and I was like, ‘Man, I want to be that one day… that’s what I always wanted, and that kid from Newark, New Jersey is standing here right now.”

From there, Jordan thanked his mother for supporting him and his dreams from an early age. And he shared his gratitude to Ryan Coogler.

‘Sinners’ Also Scores Big

According to Billboard, ‘Sinners’ also scored big at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards or the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Specifically, ‘Sinners’ took home the award for “Cast in a Motion Picture.” The Hollywood Reporter notes that the award as the “top film award.”

Check out a portion of Delroy Lindo’s speech as he accepted the honor on behalf of the cast below.

One person is dead after a shooting near the grand opening of a new Marathon Burger restaurant in California. Blacc Sam, the late Nipsey Hussle’s brother, and Snoop Dogg partnered to open the newest location in Long Beach. The restaurant had an overwhelming turnout, as documented on social media. By Sunday afternoon,  nearby crowds reportedly turned into chaos after deadly gunfire rang out. The shooting follows a separate hometown honor for Nipsey, which his girlfriend, Lauren London, called a manifestation of his.

Details About Fatal Long Beach Shooting

According to KTLA5, Long Beach PD confirmed one person died in the shooting, though there were multiple victims. The 911 call came in at about 3:30 p.m. local time, citing a shooting near Broadway and Pine Avenue. KTLA reports that it occurred outside Marathon Burger during the grand opening. Long Beach Fire Department responders transported three adult males in their 20s to the hospital. One man was reportedly critically injured and needed life-saving medical attention outside of the restaurant. However, according to a police statement, that same man later died in the hospital.

Police are still investigating what led to the shooting, per KTLA. A witness told the outlet there was a line of 50 to 60 people waiting outside of Marathon Burger that allegedly scattered after hearing the gunfire down the street.

“It was literally chaos for like 10 or 15 seconds. I ducked behind one of the little boards you take photos at over there,” Tyerae Bailey said. “I only heard one gunshot. That’s actually what made me really lock in and take cover.”

Footage from the scene showed a lil’ bit of everything, from firefighters loading a gunshot victim onto a gurney to the arrest of two people.

Marathon Burger Says Shooting Is Not Connected To Restaurant

Speaking to KTLA, Marathon Burger shut down any talks of the deadly incident being connected to the restaurant or its grand opening.

“The opening was a huge success with strong community support. The incident being reported was NOT connected to our event or even within our block party. The opening itself proceeded safely and without issue. The restaurant remains open and customers are still flowing in and out,” the statement read in part.

Street Renamed After Nipsey Hussle

Also this weekend, the Hussle family, including the late rapper’s girlfriend Lauren London, celebrated the renaming of an intersection in his honor.

NBA YoungBoy Shows Off His & Jazlyn’s Ice

On Sunday, March 1, NBA YoungBoy shared a video on his Instagram story, showing himself holding Jazlyn’s hand. In the video, NBA Youngboy wore an iced-out watch, but viewers quickly shifted their focus from his wrist to Jazlyn’s finger.

Jazlyn was wearing a huge rock with a pink diamond in the center. Last month, the couple went viral after supporters pointed out Jazlyn’s upgraded wedding ring in her latest YouTube video. Now, the new ring is even bigger than the one that debuted last month. However, it remains unclear whether Jaz was wearing the ice on her left or right hand, replacing the recent ring upgrade.

Nonetheless, social media users are once again weighing in as the timing also raised eyebrows. The new ring reveal arrives during a week filled with heavy speculation surrounding YoungBoy and rumors surrounding Nique.

Whether it’s drama, comedy or something in between, TV show writers have never been afraid to surprise audiences with a memorable character death.

Back in March 1975, M*A*S*H became a TV death pioneer when Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) died in the season 3 finale. The character was headed home after being honorably discharged from the army, but before he could make it, he was killed by enemy fire.

Some 21st-century shows, however, make M*A*S*H‘s surprise death look tame.

Lost, which ran from 2004 to 2010, became known for its shocking twists before the first season was even finished. In the April 2005 episode “Do No Harm,” viewers were devastated when Boone (Ian Somerhalder) died after a plane fell on him in the jungle, and his passing was just the beginning.

Manifest, You, Game of Thrones and more hit series have also thrown fans for a loop by killing off fan favorites.

Scroll down for a look back at some of the most shocking deaths in TV history — and remember, spoilers ahead!
