"Avatar: The Way of Water" comes to theaters in December, 13 years after the first movie, and its director is already defending the movie's three-hour running time.
He compared it to binge-watching TV in the streaming era.
"I don't want anyone to complain about how long it is when they watch TV for eight hours," he said. This part of the review can be written by me. Give me a break from the three-hour movie.
He said that he had watched his children do five one-hour episodes in a row. It's okay to get up and go pee.
The first "Avatar" took two hours and 42 minutes to make, and is the highest grossing movie in the world with over $2 billion at the box office.
"Avatar" regained the title after a rerelease in China last year earned an additional $57 million. The sequel to the movie will be released in December.
A movie's box-office chances don't depend on the length of the movie's run. "Titanic" is the third highest-grossing movie of all time, but it only held the top spot for 12 years.
The movie "The Batman" earned over $700 million worldwide.
The Way of Water is expected to do well at the box office. The movie is being made in many different formats, from Imax to 3D.
John Fithian, the CEO of the National Association of Theatre Owners, told Insider earlier this year that the range of technological experiences and visual experiences that can be found in cinemas is unparalleled. That is part of our story.
"The Way of Water" is the first of four "Avatar" sequels to be released in the next ten years.
