Moderation   @IronJimbo @JamesCameronScholar @ImNotExcited@watcher1232@dudalb   I'm gonna say this once, and this applies to everybody here on both sides: we're not doing this "lol look at all the doubters, Jimbo is amazing" BS anymore. We're not doing this "lol look at these Cameron fanboys. So delusional. Fanboys gonna fanboy" It's not funny, never was funny, and frankly is unnecessary nonsense that clogs up the forums.   We still have eight months to go, and we r

Moderation: Please refrain from baseless commentary on shills and paid, biased critics. The movie is getting very good reviews, that should be good enough for fans to enjoy without engaging in nonsensical fanboy nonsense.

Hello Everyone!   This is just a friendly reminder from your Admin that reviews are subjective, and are not gonna affect your overall enjoyment of the movie.   And if anything is getting too heated for you; I pinned this post! You can come back and just look at the furbabies in my signature for a serotonin high!   Godspeed, folks.

It took like 5 years and 10 months to get to Pandora according to a google search I just did, so the Avatar release is going to coincide with when the humans could realistically get back to Pandora after returning to Earth.

 

2021 release confirmed.

Nah. It's get's released in December 2019.  I can't imagine it getting delayed until 2020.  I mean it's Cameron and anything can happen...

 

Cameron specifically mentioned not wanting Avatar and Star Wars to face each other back when he announced the planned dates for the four sequels (2018, 2020, 2022, 2023), I don't think anything will change about that, especially with him and Disney having common commercial interests now.

 

It would be odd to wait for christmas 2020 if the movie would be finished some time in 2019, but it's not like a christmas release would be absolutely necessary anyway. Sure, it is a great period to make money, but neither Titanic nor Avatar showed clear signs of slowing down after the holidays, meaning you could pick another great date and still have a good chance for better legs than usual. It's not like the first sequel not starting at christmas would prevent the following ones from starting there.

2019 is clear.  Star Wars will be going for may releases.

Now why would that happen?

The only reason the Han Solo movie was not set as happening on christmas was because Avatar was supposed to come out at that point.

 

TFA came out at christmas, Rogue One came out at christmas, The Last Jedi will come out at christmas, and James Cameron himself mentioned that there wouldn't be a Avatar-sequel for christmas 2019 so that it wouldn't run into Star Wars. There is little reason to assume that Star Wars will return to May. Not only has christmas proven to be a great time for them, but there is also less direct competition, not to mention no issue of the two big Disney releases of the year (SW and Marvel) starting in the same month.

Because they never wanted the xmas released date and have been hell bent on getting it to May since.

Huh?

No, they haven't been hell bent to get back to May at all, on the contrary. TFA wasn't supposed to come out at christmas, that was mostly due to Abrams requesting more time, but it has proven to be a goldmine for them. If they had been hell bent on getting back to May, they easily could have started earlier with the production of Rogue One, instead they put it at christmas as well. And much more importantly, they actually moved The Last Jedi to christmas, a spot it didn't have at the time TFA came out. Episode VIII had been set for Memorial Day 2017, the weekend POTC 5 is now filling. It was only in January 2016, after having seen how well TFA did over christmas, that this movie was pushed back to December as well.

 

There is zero reason to assume that they have much interest in getting back to May.

I'm so damn curious what the critical reception and box office of Avatar 2 will be.

 

Was the first one a complete fluke or a freak accident. 

 

We'll find out with Avatar 2.

Don't forget about Titanic and as that one dude puts it, Cameron caught lighting in a bottle twice. I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic!
