Avatar Returning for Two Weeks
Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2022 9:41 pm
James Cameron's epic movie Avatar is returning for a two week run starting Sept 23rd. It will be reintroducing the movie before the first of four sequels to be released on Dec 16th. Although it's available on DVD and streaming Avatar is, IMO, one of those films best watched on the big screen. Avatar was a blockbuster when it came out and I think it's going to be the number one movie during it's short run and will easily make over $50 million dollars.
To help reacquaint audiences with “Avatar” — and with the 3-D filmmaking that dazzled audiences in 2009 — the first movie is being rereleased in theaters on Sept. 23. It’s a strategy that is, of course, intended to prime ticket buyers for the impending follow-up, but also to remind them of what was special about the original.
As Cameron said of “Avatar” in a video interview on Thursday, “We authored it for the big-screen experience. You let people smell the roses. You let people go on the ride. If you’re doing a flying shot or a shot underwater in a beautiful coral reef, you hold the shot a little bit longer. I want people to really get in there and feel like they’re there, on a journey with these characters.”
