While audiences and critics continue to rave Avatar: The Path of Watersequel to the tank that has exceeded 855 million dollars worldwide, there is already talk of the third film in the universe created by James Cameron.
The good news for fans of the saga is that they won’t have to wait thirteen years as happened this time, because it is already known that the Canadian director has shot avatars 3 simultaneously with the second part.
In fact, the next Na’vi film already has a planned release date: December 20, 2024. That seems like enough time to work on the final cut. However, everything indicates that it won’t be as easy as it seems.
According to the critic and specialist columnist for LA magazineJeff Sneider, James Cameron went a little too far in filming the third part and although there is still a long way to go in editing and post-production, there is too much material to cut.
“Someone told me Cameron delivered part of avatars 3 In the past week. The cut was, I’m not kidding, nine hours long,” Sneider revealed Warm microphoneone of the podcasts in which he collaborates.
The industry expert also assures that this would have generated a disagreement between the director and Disney, owner of the franchise rights.
“Apparently, he insists on doing the visual effects for the whole nine hours and then cutting it down, instead of seeing what to do with what he’s got and then having him do the visual effects for just that. That’s what I heard,” she said. he said she.
While the US media takes these rumors with a grain of salt, since it would be very expensive for multimedia to cover a budget of this size, it doesn’t sound strange for an eccentric director accustomed to titanic shooting.
Just review the duration of the two Avatars: just over 2 hours and 40 minutes for the first one, and 3 hours and 12 minutes for the brand new sequel.
It is clear that the director of Terminator Y titanic Think big and predictable. That’s why many say that there is a great chance that their intention is to integrate some of the filmed material avatars 3 in the fourth and fifth part scheduled for 2026 and 2028.
But that’s why it’s still missing. Currently, The seed bearer (the seed bearer would be its literal translation), as the third chapter of the saga will be titled, which plans to debut on December 20, 2024.
The sequel continues to soar at the box office
Ten days after its premiere, Avatar: The Path of Watergrossed $855.4 million worldwide -253.7 in the US-, making it the fifth highest-grossing film of 2022.
It is hypothesized that by the end of the year the megatank with a production of 350 million dollars could reach – perhaps exceed – the one billion mark. Only two more movies, Top Gun: nonconformist Y Jurassic World: Dominationmanaged to reach these numbers this year.
Outside the United States and Canada, Avatar: The Path of Water it performed strongly at the Chinese theatrical box office ($100.5 million), followed by Korea ($53), France ($52.3), India ($37) and Germany ($37).
In Argentina, according to data from the Ultracine company, 632,778 spectators have seen it so far.
Experts say the sequel won’t match the numbers of its predecessor, the highest-grossing film in history with $2.97 billion amassed worldwide.
There are many reasons. For one thing, in-person theaters haven’t fully recovered from the pandemic, and major markets like China are experiencing a resurgence of the virus. Moreover, avatars 2 It won’t screen in Russia, where the original grossed $116 million.
