About Avatar: The Way of Water Movie:

  • There is a 13-year gap between the first Avatar film and this film, giving it one of the longest development times as it was announced almost immediately following the first film’s success.
  • Avatar: Way of the Water took 14 days to gross $1 billion dollars. The original film took 19 days to hit the $1 billion mark.
  • It was the sixth-fastest film to cross the billion-dollar mark, doing so in 14 days, and the fourth film to cross the $1 billion mark since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • James Cameron is prepared to end the Avatar series after the third film if Avatar: The Way of Water isn’t profitable, “The question is: how many people give a sh-t now?” he stated.
  • James Horner had signed on to score the film, until his death in June 2015. The new composer is Simon Franglen.
  • This sequel was announced in December 2009. Originally, James Cameron wanted to release it in 2015. After that was delayed to December 2016. After that in December 2017. In April 2016, Cameron announced a delay in the release to December 2018. In March 2017, Cameron announced that the release finally wouldn’t be in December 2018. On April 27 2017 was announced that the release would be on December 18, 2020. In May 2019, Disney announced that the release finally would be on December 17, 2021. On July 24, 2020, Disney announced it would postpone the film due to the Covid19 pandemic to December 16, 2022.
  • Avatar: The Way of Water’s world premiere was held on December 6, 2022, at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London. The film began rolling out in theaters in some countries on December 14, 2022 and was theatrically released in the United States on December 16, with distribution by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures through the 20th Century Studios label. The film is the first in the series to be released under Disney, since its acquisition of both 20th Century Studios and the rights to Avatar in 2019. The film was released in RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, IMAX, and IMAX 3D formats. Select showings also had support for a dynamic high frame rate of up to 48 frames per second. The Way of Water, alongside the forthcoming sequels, was released in Dolby Vision. The Way of Water is one of the widest releases ever given for a Disney film, debuting on over 12,000 screens in the United States and Canada and 40,000 internationally.
  • Avatar: The Way of Water was released for digital download on March 28, 2023. It contains behind-the-scenes featurettes. The film was released on June 7, 2023, on Disney+ and Max. Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (under the 20th Century Studios label) distributed Avatar: The Way of Water on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, and DVD on June 20, 2023.
  • This is the seventh film in history to cost $300 million or more, after Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007), Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Justice League (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019).
  • James Cameron stated that he wanted the story to be very unpredictable, saying, “I guarantee you, you won’t be able to predict it. What people hate the most is to go and see a movie and say ‘oh predictable.’ This is not predictable, I don’t think.”
  • For some of the underwater performance capture, actors played the tulkun with their legs bound together in the tank, in order for the creatures to perform human-like dance choreography. A scene with Tsireya dancing with her tulkun was cut from the final film.
