I mean I have practically died to write this article. The anticipation towards the streaming release date of Avatar 2 was over the top. Generally, movies wind up on streaming platforms at about 45 days into their theatrical run or if you’re a DC movie then you might not even make it a month. However, Avatar: The Way of Water is just different. After being the new king at the box office, the Avatar sequel is set to make its debut on Disney+ very soon. The movie enjoyed unsurmountable success with a global box office collection of $2.3 billion, making it the 3rd highest grossing movie of all time which is exactly the reason why Disney took their sweet time to announce the streaming release date.
Avatar: The Way of Water Will Start Streaming This June!
Disney confirmed that Avatar: The Way of Water will start streaming on their streaming platform from 7th June. Many expected the sequel to start streaming in March considering the 90-day theatrical window which is expected from the studio. The Way of Water did release on digital on 28th March which is still longer than the expected window- 101 days. Disney released a new poster and a teaser for the sequel’s streaming debut.
Speaking with NPR’s Morning Edition show, director James Cameron expressed his reaction on the streaming debut of his film, since he is so famously a hater of streaming services, “If you watch ‘Way of Water’ at home on a reasonably large flat-screen TV with a decent sound system and you sit close enough and that way across the room, you’re going to have a good experience.”
The filmmaker further expressed where his disgust towards streaming platforms really begin, “I think when you start looking at something on a phone, you’re sort of missing the point. Going to a movie theater is less about the size of the screen and the perfection of the sound system. And it’s more about a decision to not multitask.” Check out the full teaser of Avatar: The Way of Water on YouTube:
