New ‘Avatar’ Film Lengthy AF

You may not wish to get the big soda while you head out to see Avatar: Fire and Ash subsequent month. AMC Theaters posted a runtime for James Cameron’s latest, and it’s, apparently, three hours and quarter-hour. That makes it the longest Avatar movie but, beating 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water by a meager three minutes.

io9 reached out to Disney to substantiate or make clear that runtime however had but to listen to again as of publication. If we hear again, we’ll replace the submit. AMC wouldn’t just randomly put up a runtime, although. It’s acquired to promote tickets and set schedules, and really often, ticket websites are how we be taught the size of films. So we are likely to imagine it. Particularly since Hearth and Ash would be the last Avatar film for a while (the fourth movie is presently scheduled for 2029), so we anticipate it to be somewhat epic.

And whereas information of a protracted film may be seen as both a very good factor (extra film, extra pleasure!) or a nasty factor (why is that this factor so lengthy?), in relation to James Cameron, we lean towards the previous. Once more, The Method of Water was simply three minutes shorter and was fairly damned glorious. And whereas at the moment we usually consider Titanic as this unparalleled masterpiece, on the time, many have been shocked by its runtime, which was, coincidentally, additionally three hours and quarter-hour. That labored out fairly properly if we keep in mind. *Checks notes* Sure, Titanic did okay at that size. Nearly $2 billion on the field workplace 20 years in the past, which might be nearer to $4 billion at the moment. Eleven Oscars, together with Finest Image and Finest Director. Not too shabby.

Cameron has stated that he sees Hearth and Ash as almost a break in his saga, with the primary three movies telling one story and the ultimate two telling one other. So, we predict this film goes to be much more consequential than the mega-successful first two. There’s a lot of story to inform. Plus, there wasn’t a 13-year wait this time. We all know audiences flip up for Avatar, regardless of how lengthy it’s.
