The Last Airbender
A teenage waterbender and her brother discover the long‑lost Avatar—a playful air boy with a flying bison—and must help him master all four elements while evading a vengeful fire prince determined to capture him before he can end the war.
“Four nations, one destiny.”
Synopsis
A century has passed since the Fire Nation launched a war against the other three nations—air, water, and earth—in an effort to achieve global domination. Aang, the long-lost Avatar, is discovered by Water Tribe siblings Katara and Sokka, and he must learn to master the bending arts of water, earth, and fire in order to defeat the Fire Nation and restore balance to the world.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.1× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
Worldwide gross
$319.7M
US & Canada: $131.8M — 41% of worldwide · International: $187.9M (59%)
Opening weekend: $17.5M — 13% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
