‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ still heating up the box office



It’s still fired up.

“Avatar: Fire and Ash” remains king of the box office, landing in the No. 1 spot for the second Friday in a row.

The third installment in James Cameron’s “Avatar” franchise pulled in $22.6 million on its sophomore outing at the box office, according to The Numbers.

In second place was “Marty Supreme,” which opened on Christmas Day and took in over $6.73 million on Friday.

The Post hailed the sports comedy-drama — which stars Timothée Chalamet as the titular character, a NYC table tennis prodigy — as “the best movie of the year.”

Disney’s “Zootopia 2” moved up two spots from last week to third, with sales of $6.7 million.

In fourth was the reboot “Anaconda,” starring Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Steve Zahn and Thandiwe Newton as childhood friends attempting to remake the 1997 original, which features Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube and Jon Voight.

The Post called the action comedy horror “a pretty common jungle adventure hoisted up by the charms of Rudd and Black and a consistent supply of chuckles.”

The biblical animated musical “David” was in fifth place, taking home over $4.74 million.
