Avatar: The Way of Water is the most anticipated Hollywood film of the year and it is clocking very impressive advance bookings trend in multiplexes across India. The film open in theaters worldwide on the 16th of this month.
The point of discussion now is the shocking run-time of the James Cameron directorial. It could well go down as one of the lengthiest English films in recent times.
Avatar 2 has locked a run-time of 192 minutes – 3 hours 12 minutes. The final copy has been locked with this unusually long run-time and when asked about the same. James Cameron said “Well, if I like a film, I’m sure the audience will like it. I really liked Avatar 2, and don’t mind the run time.”
Holding the attention of the audience for over 3 hours with a film that predominantly runs on alienated-looking characters is not going to be an easy task. But back in 2009, when Avatar released, the world was in awe. Will Avatar 2 emulate a similar feat? We shall see.
Avatar 2 is releasing with a break-even target of $2 billion dollars. No other film ever had such a huge break-even target till now.
