According to Box Office Mojo, "Avatar: Fire and Ash" earned 1.23 billion USD as of 12/1. This achievement propelled Zoe Saldaña's total film revenue past 15.47 billion USD, according to statistics from The Numbers.

The actress is the only performer to star in four blockbusters that each grossed over 2 billion USD: "Avatar", "Avatar: The Way of Water", "Avengers: Infinity War", and "Avengers: Endgame". She has also appeared in other major franchises, including "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Star Trek", and "Pirate of the Caribbean".

In "Avatar: Fire and Ash", Saldaña reprises her role as the Na'vi warrior Neytiri, wife of protagonist Jake Sully (Sam Worthington). Her character grapples with the grief of losing her son, Neteyam, in the previous installment, torn between her faith in Eywa, resentment towards humans, and her primal instinct to protect her family. She is set to return in "Avatar 4" (expected 12/2029) and "Avatar 5" (scheduled for 12/2031), indicating her box office earnings are likely to continue growing in the coming years.

Last year marked a significant milestone in Saldaña's career. In March, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her outstanding performance in "Emilia Perez", becoming the first Dominican-American to earn an Academy Award. Directed by Jacques Audiard, the musical film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and garnered Saldaña numerous major accolades throughout awards season, including the SAG Awards, BAFTA, Golden Globes, and Critics' Choice Awards.
