'Can we be profitable in a changed market? Or are we just the last dinosaur dying after the comet hit?’ says director James Cameron, as ‘Avatar: The Way of Water,’ arrives in theatres this week
LOS ANGELES, Dec 12 - The sequel to movie box office champion "Avatar" arrives in theaters this week, 13 years after the first film, as cinemas try to recover from the pandemic and draw people away from streaming at home.
Studios split ticket sales with theaters, and Cameron told GQ magazine that "The Way of Water" will need to make $2 billion just to break even. Only four movies besides "Avatar," including Cameron's "Titanic," have crossed that threshold. "The common perception has been the first movie didn't enshrine itself in pop culture," said Boxoffice Pro chief analyst Shawn Robbins, because it did not feed fans a quick succession of sequels.
Their peaceful life is interrupted when the Sky People, the Na’vi name for humans, return to go after Jake. The Sully family seeks refuge with the oceanic Metkayina clan and must quickly learn the ways of the water to survive.
