The spectacular visuals of James Cameron’s acclaimed Avatar sequel can soon be enjoyed outside of the cinema in 4K Ultra HD quality with Dolby Atmos audio. 20th Century Home Entertainment has announced that Avatar: The Way of Water, which has grossed $2,282,808,642 since its release in theaters on December 16, 2022, will be available to watch digitally beginning Tuesday, March 28. Avatar fans often say that the new sequel is best experienced at premium IMAX cinemas in 3D and HFR, but the home release does promise some exclusive benefits, including three hours of never-before-seen extras. Release dates for the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and Blu-ray versions of Avatar: The Way of Water are still to come.
From a YouTube description:
Return to Pandora whenever you want at home, only on Digital March 28. Get access to over three hours of never-before-seen extras when you add #AvatarTheWayOfWater to your movie collection.
Avatar: The Way of Water reaches new heights and explores undiscovered depths as James Cameron returns to the world of Pandora in this emotionally packed action adventure. Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water launches the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure. All of this against the breathtaking backdrop of Pandora, where audiences are introduced to new Na’vi cultures and a range of exotic sea creatures that populate the majestic oceans. Nominated for numerous Academy Awards including Best Picture, the James Cameron-directed film became the third highest-grossing box office film of all-time and set a new benchmark for visual effects. Produced by Cameron and his longtime partner Jon Landau, the Lightstorm Entertainment production stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis and Kate Winslet. Joining the illustrious adult cast are talented newcomers Britain Dalton, Jamie Flatters, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Bailey Bass and Jack Champion.

Join Discussion →Yet, i don't know or heard of a single person that saw it. Not so with several marvel, and not so TopGun Maverick. The target audience must be so outside of my typical circle, or Hollywood is straight up money laundering of some sort.
I honestly don't care to see it myself. First one was just average, and don't expect much more with this one.
Meh I'll stream it for "free" well as free as a paid sub gets.
Nah, not TRUE 4K (this digital mess will have extreme low bitrate) and it would be SUPER stupid to double-dip (this digital garbage will be the same price, or more, than the physical copy), so, it would be best for WISE consumers to wait for the ultimate experience (visuals and audio - DTS:X MA and TrueHD) on BluRay.
You'll thank me later.
Whenever it filters down to Netflix/Prime level, I'll watch it. Not spending real money.
Me neither.
I'm guessing this is VOD so I'll wait until Disney+ gets it. Neither the link or the article specify.
Edit: Here we go from Deadline, "James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water will be available from all major digital retailers including Prime Video, Apple TV, Vudu and Movies Anywhere on March 28."
I don't think I will even bother to check out this movie from the "community theater".
I haven't seen the original but at least back then everybody I knew was talking about having seen it, or talking about wanting to see it. Not about the story itself since it was the general consensus that it was lame.
However I haven't heard a single peep from anybody about this one. Has hollywood finally found the hidden "modern audiences"?. Money laundering seems more plausibl to me.
