Avatar: The Way of Water is the second stage of an audacious project by James Cameron. The director, who is also writing the screenplay, intends to release three more sequels, in addition to the one that opens in December this year. Therefore, it is important that the new feature film be well received by the public and, therefore, at the box office. It should be remembered that the first film of the saga recorded the highest turnover in history, with 2.922 million US dollars worldwide. At the time, Avatar revolutionized cinema with a new immersive 3D technology.
With a slated for release on December 15, Avatar 2 promises to take the crowds to theaters. As the world finds itself trying to recover from a global pandemic, the mission of beating the first feature becomes much more complicated. However, with the legion of fans that the original Avatar has, and with a great spirit behind him, as is the case with James Cameron, expectations are as high as they come.
