Cameron also said that having the two potential blockbusters not clashing at the box office is fair for the two movies. He even jested that releasing the movies to theaters not at the same time is not just fair but good business too.
Although he is not saying it officially as one of the other main reasons why he decided to push back the release date of “Avatar 2,” but James Cameron and Disney sort of come to terms with it when he announced during the CinemaCon in May that Disney has given the franchise a new theme park called “Pandora: The World of Avatar,” which is going to be part of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
In addition to the objective of entertaining kids, the theme park is also meant to make people remember what “Avatar” is, which would be crucial when the first sequel finally arrives in theaters in 2018 or some nine years after the first movie came out.
Disney has teased that the new “Avatar” theme park will open next year in time for the entertainment conglomerate’s “Awaken Summer” event.
The company also showcased a revealing new video that gives people a glimpse at just how far the effects have evolved since the release of the world’s most successful film of all time in the box-office back in 2009.
