Avatar Fire and Ash hits cinemas on 19 December 2025 across the world including India. The exact streaming date is not official yet but there is enough info to guess the window and platforms.
Theatrical Release and Timing
Disney and James Cameron have locked in 19 December 2025 as the global theatrical release date. In India the film opens on the same day with shows across IMAX 3D and other premium formats which matches how The Way of Water released.
The film is expected to stay in theaters for months because Avatar movies keep earning for a long time.
That long run is one major reason why the streaming date will not come quickly.
Avatar Fire and Ash Streaming Date
Disney has not announced a Disney Plus or JioHotstar date. Studio articles repeat that only the cinema date is confirmed for now and streaming will be revealed later.
Avatar films cost a lot to make and they earn heavily in theaters.
So Disney waits longer before sending them to streaming compared to normal releases where the gap can be near 100 days.
Where Avatar Fire and Ash will stream
Outside India the streaming home will be Disney Plus since Avatar is under 20th Century Studios which Disney owns. Reports also say Disney could share it with Hulu in markets where that service still runs but Disney Plus remains the main home.
In India the film will stream on JioHotstar after theaters. This follows the same model used for Avatar and Avatar The Way of Water which also landed on the same platform in India.
What past Avatar films tell us about the window
Avatar The Way of Water reached Disney Plus almost six months after its theatrical release.
That delay helped Disney squeeze more money from theater tickets plus premium rentals and purchases before adding it to the subscription library.
Because Fire and Ash has a similar budget and scale experts expect Disney to repeat this six month pattern.
Articles that track Disney Plus releases point to a late spring or early summer 2026 arrival rather than early in the year.
Predicted streaming window
Most analysis pieces now place the Disney Plus release in May or June 2026.
Those guesses assume a strong box office run from late December into March or April then a digital purchase period followed by streaming.
For India JioHotstar is expected to get the film in a similar few months window after cinemas.
Coverage suggests that premium Hollywood titles usually land on the platform a short time after the global streaming rollout so Indian streaming could be in that same May to June 2026 band or slightly later.
