I don’t see legs being anything spectacular. This is an IP sequel now. I don’t even think it will have TFA legs. Basically what I’m expecting is a bigger version of Frozen 2.

It's still Jim, still spectacle cinema at its finest, and still has the revolutionary tech angle (at least for A2) so I think we may yet see something special (again).

I will probabl go see Avatar 2, but not that excited about it given I think the first was basically a run of the mill Sci Fi adventure which  had nothing really memorable about it except for the incredible visuals.

Seems like Avatar 2's release date is starting to be officially confirmed in a number of overseas markets.

 

Lots of tweets recently about a December 14 release date in France, and a December 16 release date in India.

Its a good thing Disney can just put this on Disney+ next winter when the annual super variant arrives

Do you think this will get a trailer at the Super Bowl next month?

I wouldn't count on it, it's rare that any movie gets a Super Bowl ad with a date nearly a year out.

Apparently NBC which holds the exclusive rights for the upcoming Super Bowl is asking for $6.5 million for a 30 second spot. I really doubt that Disney is going to pay that kind of $$ to promote a movie that's being released in Dec. Too far away imo. 

 

I would buy into the idea that they will re-release Avatar for a limited engagement and tack on a 3-5 or 10 minute "first glimpse" trailer of Avatar II at the end of the movie before launching their online campaign, it would give them an idea of the general publics' appetite for the sequel and provide them with a guide towards how aggressive they need to be with the marketing. If the re-release only generates $5 million or less at the domestic box over a single weekend, they have a problem. The panic will set in big time, if the reverse happens the marketing machine will crank to 200%.

The chance of that happening (Disney + exclusive) is 0.000000000000000% these movies are costing about $250 million each.

@Deuce66 wow that's expensive. I wonder what trailers we'll see at the Super Bowl then.

We’ll definitely see something for the next Jurassic World and Minions movies.

The Superbowl ads are not the big things for Movies like they used to be. Most studios have backed off the number of Superbowl ads they used to . I note most movie ads are in the post and pregame shows, which are less expensive then ads during the Bowl itself.

[AniNate]

I think it only really has a material hype bump for movies coming out in the next couple months after it.

Unless someone blinks, Aquaman 2 will be opening agianst Avatar 2:The duel of the underwater epics.

Remember that running joke about James Cameron and Aquaman in "Entourage"/

WB always moves for Disney. They are scared of their movies.
