Avatar: The Way of Water
Avatar 2star Stephen Lang expects the moving picture to breakAvengers : Endgame’sglobal box office book . For nearly a 10 , the originalAvatarranked as the highest - gross film of all - time , bringing in $ 2.790 billion worldwide during its incredible run . That phonograph record stood untilEndgameswooped in last summertime and finished with $ 2.797 billion . plain , tag price pomposity play a heavy office in this , but it was nevertheless impressive to seeEndgameaccomplish this feat . Rather than be upset about being knock down on the charts , James Cameron expressed hopeEndgame’sturnout meansAvatar 2can be a monumental successin its own right .
When thelong - look continuation in the end get in theatre next December(12 days after its harbinger ) , it will be interesting to see how it performs . Much has been made ofAvatar’sperceived lack of a cultural footprint , causing some to wonder how much requirement there is for a return journeying to Pandora . At the same fourth dimension , hoi polloi have already made the mistake of doubting Cameron twice ( TitanicandAvatarwere predicted to fail , but broke records ) , so by now the Oscar - winning filmmaker has earned the welfare of the doubt . As far as Lang is concerned , the appetite forAvatar 2will be there in full forcefulness .

In an interview withThe National , Lang ( who ’s reprising his theatrical role as the nefarious Colonel Quaritch in theAvatarsequels ) was asked ifAvatar 2could topEndgameat the box office . “I wait so,“was the histrion ’s abbreviated answer to the inquiry .
The firstAvatarset a new record thanks to a combination of fulfill a vacancy in the market ( 2009 was an interesting time without many mega franchise ) and show in a new geological era of 3D filmmaking . Because of those factors , Avatarwas a must - see cinematic event and ride potent legs to the top of the charts . It run without saying the Hollywood landscape has drastically changed in the past decade , as three-D has lost most of its appeal and there are several high - visibility properties vie for tag sales year - orotund . There will be four MCU movies and three DCEU cinema released in 2021 alone , includingBlack Adamthat December . So , Avatar 2is going to have some challenger from box office star Dwayne Johnson . Asthe recentStar Wars / Jumanjishowdownshave illustrate , there will in all probability be enough elbow room for bothAvatar 2andBlack Adamnext wintertime , but it may be unmanageable for Cameron to hit $ 2 billion again .
It ’s also highly uncommon for a continuation to a platter - breaking smash hit to match or surpass its predecessor ’s total . Endgamewas able to bestInfinity War , but that ’s a rare exception released under irreplicable circumstances ( marking the culmination of this generation ’s defining movie franchise).Cameron is doubtless givingAvatar 2his alland is count to once again push the boundaries of technology , but $ 2.7 billion is still a tall Holy Order for any movie , no matter how popular the managing director or brand . His late evolutions may only go so far in selling theAvatarexperience this clock time . Remember , in 2009Avatarwas a new thing people were curious to see for themselves . But now , audiences lie with whatAvataris , and it did n’t come across with the world-wide populace as much asStar Wars , Marvel , or DC.The originalAvatarmay have a serious chance of reclaim its crown(via re - release ) thanAvatar2has of taking the statute title itself .
