![]() ![]() Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana return to reprise their roles of Jake Sully and Neytiri from the first film, while Stephen Lang and Sigourney Weaver also return for the sequel even though their original characters were killed in the first film. ![]() Avatar - The Way of Water is, of course, one of the most expensive film ever made with a budget of around $350–400 million. Other cast members include Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, Edie Falco and Jemaine Clement.James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water, the sequel to his 2009 blockbuster Avatar, is out in theatres and it is one hell of a ride, as expected from this director who is the epitome of the term 'visionary filmmaker'. “Avatar” stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña and Sigourney Weaver returned for the sequel, which follows the Sully family as they head underwater to battle the elements and keep the Na’vi safe from humans. Moreover, China, a major theatrical market, is experiencing a resurgence of the virus and Russia, another big territory, won’t have access to the film. The follow-up film, which arrived on the big screen 13 years later, will struggle to near those heights because the global box office hasn’t fully rebounded from the pandemic. ![]() The original “Avatar” was released in 2009 and stands as the highest-grossing release in history with $2.97 billion worldwide. There’s a lot riding on “The Way of Water,” not just because of its huge price tag, but also because it’s the first of three planned follow-ups in Cameron’s otherworldly series. ![]() Cameron estimated the $350 million-budgeted movie (not including at least $100 million in marketing fees) needs to generate roughly $2 billion to break even, though analysts believe the threshold to profitability is probably closer to $1.5 billion. “Avatar 2” looks to stay strong into the new year, which is necessary to justify its massive price tag. It’s surpassed “Jurassic World Dominion” as the second highest-grossing movie of the year, and it’s the third highest of the pandemic era. So far, the Disney and 20th Century film has generated $317.1 million in North America and $712.7 million overseas, bringing its global tally to $1.025 billion. James Cameron’s long-delayed sequel to “Avatar” opened in mid-December with $134 million in North America and $435 million globally, and it’s remained a huge draw in the days since its release. ![]()
