Sydney Sweeney's HOUSEMAID is getting a 'sleeper hit' status while James Cameron's AVATAR keeps the box office blue..

The big winner of the box office numbers was 2025’s AVATAR and it is spreading its cash grab into 2026..

James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash, which flew past the $1 billion mark at the global box office on Saturday, continues to dominate theaters..

DEADLINE’s reporting has more numbers.. Avatar 3‘s global earnings through New Year’s Day (Thursday) were a mighty $935 million, including $266 million domestically and $699 overseas. On Friday, it earned another $14 million in North America from 3,832 theaters to finish the day with a domestic total of $280 million.

Lionsgate and Paul Feig’s well-reviewed sleeper hit The Housemaid could fall just six percent to $14 million for a domestic tally nearing $75 million.. This is a success that Sweeney needed as she has been skewered in media since she did a jeans ad..

Sweeney’s sleeper hit HOUSEMAID continues to get stronger and higher reviews from audiences that official reviewers.. Perhaps that ‘one scene’ has convinced many people to go see the film more than once..
