KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 26 — The long-awaited third instalment of the Avatar film has finally made its way to cinemas, and while it's only been a week since its debut, it found its place at No. 2 at the local box office, while local animation Papa Zola The Movie remained at the No. 1 spot.

Directed by James Cameron, Fire and Ash is being hailed for its jaw-dropping praised for its visuals, character performances, and action sequences, and pulse-pounding action, which has already scored two nominations at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards — a clear sign that the Avatar universe is only getting bigger and better.
