At CinemaCon, Avatar producer Jon Landau discussed the “separate, but cohesive” strategy of the franchise.

“While I’m making a movie, it’s working with the actors that I find the most rewarding,” he admitted. “With the first Avatar, we set out to push the limits of the big screen,” he recalled. “And the best way we can do that is by delivering content that is a must-see experience at the center.” “One of the strengths of Jim Cameron’s scripts are always the universal and relatable themes that he weaves into them,” he said. He opened by empathizing with exhibitors—an expected sentiment, since CinemaCon’s focus is on the theatrical experience—before pivoting into the technical achievements, and requirements, that will be involved in showcasing The Way Of Water in theaters. “And there’s no more relatable theme down at the center of each of our four sequels than the Sully family, Jake and Neytiri’s family.”

James Cameron's 'Avatar 2' Debuts Visually Dazzling Footage at ... (Variety)

After at least seven delays in the last eight years (the film was originally supposed to open in 2014), director James Cameron is finally ready to show ...

That means Disney must convince the heaps of film exhibitors in the audience at CinemaCon that “Avatar 2” will push cinematic boundaries, so much so that it’ll be worth the expensive equipment upgrades needed to match Cameron’s dazzling vision. During the pandemic, Cameron’s groundbreaking sci-fi epic returned to the big screen and reclaimed the title as the highest-grossing movie in history with $2.802 billion globally, taking the crown back from “Avengers: Endgame.” In anticipation for “The Way of Water,” Disney plans to re-release “Avatar” in theaters on Sept. 23. The unmatched success of “Avatar” inspired theater operators to speed up the deployment of digital cinema so their venues were equipped with the technology needed to play 3D. There are understandable fears that enthusiasm for all things “Avatar” has dwindled in the decade since its historic run in theaters. It’s newly titled as “ Avatar: The Way of Water.” Producer Jon Landau, who flew in town from New Zealand for less than 24 hours, indicated that “family” will be at the center of the four sequels.

'Avatar 2' Title Revealed as 'The Way of Water' (Collider.com)

At CinemaCon the title for James Cameron's Avatar sequel was revealed as Avatar: The Way of Water, which will open in theaters December 16.

By that time, the original release date in 2015 had been pushed back to 2016. The original Avatar was a film that struck the cultural zeitgeist in a way that few other films had ever done before. While filming for Avatar 2 began in 2017, the details surrounding the film have been kept fairly quiet.

Avatar 2 finally has a title, and the first trailer will debut with Doctor ... (The Verge)

The first Avatar sequel will be called Avatar: The Way of Water, Disney announced. The long-delayed movie is scheduled to premiere on December 16th.

The first Avatar came out in 2009, and it remains one of the top-grossing movies of all time. And we might have even more potential proof soon, as the first teaser trailer is set to debut alongside Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which premieres on May 6th. I would like to call your attention to that “begins to tell” language because The Way of Water isn’t the only Avatar film to look forward to.

No word if Avatar will be re-released in the intervals, so try not to forget what happens.

The original film came out in 2009, so to refresh memories and expose new fans who weren’t yet born (but are actual teenagers now) to the original, Disney plans to re-release Avatar in theaters on Sept. 23. Avatar: The Way of Water will not be released in theaters until December 16, and the remaining Avatar sequels have been projected to come out on Dec. 20, 2024, Dec. 18, 2026, and Dec. 22, 2028. For years now, Avatar 2 has seemed like an enigma, an, “I’ll believe it when I see it” moment.

'Avatar 2' Footage Astonishes Audience at CinemaCon (Hollywood Reporter)

CinemaCon delegates, donning their 3D glasses, gave a wildly enthusiastic welcome to their return to Pandora with a first look at the stunning teaser trailer ...

As the clips played, Cameron shared his observations, including some distracting strobing that occurs in 24 fps (which has been blamed for why some viewers get headaches when viewing 3D) and pointed to a smoother higher frame rate image. Cameron previously used CinemaCon as a platform to discuss the potential of high frame rates. “He is working very closely with our members around the world to show his movie in the best possible way,” Fithian said. “We set out to push the limits to what cinema can do,” said Cameron in a video message from New Zealand, where he’s making the movie. This enabled the Avatar 2 filmmakers to put on quite a show. Its sequel is one of the more anticipated films of the past decade.

Disney Confirms Surprising Avatar 2 Trailer Release With Doctor ... (The Direct)

Disney announced that the first trailer for Avatar 2 will premiere exclusively in theaters alongside Doctor Strange 2.

When Doctor Strange 2 started its own promotional tour, its first trailer came exclusively in theaters as the post-credits scene from Spider-Man: No Way Home before it came online less than a week later. Non-MCU fans who just want to see something from Avatar 2 will flock to see this movie with the trailer being a theater exclusive, especially over opening weekend when it first releases. James Cameron’s first intergalactic epic came in 2009, and even though there are plans for multiple sequels, those follow-up films have taken a long time to develop, although the wait is finally over.

Shazam 2 Delayed to Avoid Competing With Avatar 2 (CBR)

The DC Extended Universe blockbuster will now open on Dec. 21 rather than Dec. 16 as previously planned, reports Deadline. Although the delay only amounts to a ...

Warner Bros. unveiled a montage of Shazam! Fury of the Gods clips at CinemaCon that confirmed that Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman will also appear in the movie. The movie's release was subsequently moved forward to 2022 by Warner Bros. after the release dates of two other entries in the DCEU, The Flash and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, were shifted from 2022 to 2023. Responding to the delay, Shazam! Fury of the Gods director David F. Sandberg tweeted "You're welcome Cameron!" The filmmaker has previously issued tongue-in-cheek remarks about Shazam 2 going head-to-head with Avatar 2, a film that serves as the follow-up to one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. When news first broke that the two movies would share the same release date, Sandberg joked "Going up against Avatar 2. Shazam! Fury of the Gods was originally supposed to arrive in June 2023. Warner Bros. delayed the release of Shazam! Fury of the Gods to avoid opening on the same day as Avatar: The Way of Water.

'Shazam! Fury of the Gods' Release Date Moves to Avoid 'Avatar 2' (Collider.com)

Warner Bros. has moved the release date for Shazam! Fury of The Gods to make room for Disney's Avatar sequel Avatar: The Way of Water.

In the past, The Christmas season has shown there is plenty of room for multiple major blockbusters to have success. However, Shazam! is no slouch at the box office either. One of the most talked-about films from the Warner Brothers presentation was Shazam! Fury of the Gods. The sequel to the 2018 coming of age comedy has shifted around a lot with the crazy carousel that is the current DC Slate. The film was set to release on December 16, 2022 after moving from 2023 to this year.

Shazam 2 Delayed To Avoid Avatar 2, Director Has Great Response (Game Rant)

The Shazam: Fury of the Gods release date was coinciding with Avatar: The Way of Water, but it has now been pushed back by a week.

The other film releasing on the same day is Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. It seems like the right move to have the Shazam sequel’s release pushed by one week, as it avoids a massive box office battle between two films that have high fan expectations associated with them. The release date of Shazam: Fury of the Gods has been changed once again, but this time, it’s to avoid clashing with another big project. However, it was revealed that Avatar: The Way of Water also has the same planned release date.
