Stories about a nine-hour cut of the next Avatar film have resurfaced again, lending greater noise if not credence to the notion that James Cameron may be chasing down another ‘high concept’, as he loves to do with each of his projects. Whether it’s groundbreaking effects or industry-shaking ambition, Cameron loves to challenge the foundations of what filmmaking can be, and reports are suggesting that he may just be looking to do that again.
The filmmaker commented a while ago that the future of cinema could be different versions of films, one shorter version that is viewed in cinemas, whilst longer (perhaps even episodic?) cuts could be enjoyed at home. With rumours persisting that the nine-hour cut of Avatar 3 is real, or at the very least, a genuine ambition of Cameron’s, it seems that the director is looking to realise his ambitions.
Jeff Sneider has a decent record at breaking such stories and he’s taken to Twitter to reassert that his report from late last year still holds water: “Remember that 9-hour cut of AVATAR 3 that I told you James Cameron was insisting on having finished VFX for? I hear it could hit Disney+ as a limited series AFTER the theatrical cut of the film…”
You can see the appeal to Disney, an Avatar series that could fold into the costs of Avatar 3‘s production costs would be an easy win. Still, nothing here is confirmed yet but it could spark the beginning of a new trend. Would you like to see blockbuster films in multiple formats? Let us now in the comments below…

That sounds awful. A2 didn't even have a story and was all about the CGI. Let's slip in the 6 hours of stuff that wasn't good enough to make it into the theatrical release and hope nobody notices it was shit? And now that you've got to pay $3 more or watch D+ with commercials, imagine how long a 9 hour movie would be when you're interrupted with interracial families washing their clothes with Tide or shopping for a new car every 5 minutes where there was no intended commercials to be injected, ripping you away from the action and then slamming you right back into it after the ad is over.
And imagine how long it would take you to download that from a torrent site, since there's no way you're paying for it.
Disney+ lost 2.4 million subscribers in Q4 of 2022. It also lost $1.5 Billion in the same quarter. To date, Disney+ has lost money every single quarter since it started in 2019.

Quote:6ix, it is not a 9 hour A3 movie. It is 12 episodes, each 45 minutes long, of the Avatar 3 TV season.

Let me check to see if you know what you write about. From Variety, which covers Hollywood:
The drop in Disney+ subscribers — which was bigger than analysts expected — was entirely driven by a 3.8 million sequential decline at Disney+ Hotstar, the version of the service offered in India and parts of Southeast Asia, to stand at 161.8 million at the end of 2022. Last year, Disney lost streaming rights to Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket matches, which prompted it to lower growth targets for Disney+ Hotstar in India.
How about the "lost $1.5 Billion"? On the earnings call, Iger announced that Disney is eliminating 7,000 jobs, with layoffs affecting 3.2% of its global workforce, part of a strategy to reduce costs by $5.5 billion. Firing worthless Trumptards to make Disney profitable. Life is tough for angry poor white trash because firing their worthless asses is the easy route to profitability.
Per usual, 6ix, you misunderstand anything and everything.

Whatever. Doesn't matter. It will contain 6 hours of filler that should stay on the cutting room floor and won't have proper breaks like regular TV does for the new ad-supported Disney+ model and it will constantly be ripping you away from the action mid-sentence to give you ads you don't want to see for products you don't want to buy. It will be a train wreck, just as the entire Disney+ ad supported model will be.

There are no Trumptards working at Disney. It's all woke Leftists that will be crying on Twitter about how unfair life is. Staring with Bob Chapek and and Ultra-Woke Victoria Alonzo who ruined Marvel Phase 4 and just got her walking papers last Friday.
We haven't even seen the loss of subscribers from Disney+ that will occur once the "free" membership that was foisted upon Verizon Wireless customers stops being free (at a higher price than it was offered at when they got that membership.

No. It is YOU who are uninformed. Variety works for Disney and has constantly had to backpedal and bury their Disney articles over the last 10 years because everything they have said about Disney gets proven wrong with time.
Don't believe me? You don't even have to bother going back and verifying for yourself. This story right here that you posted will be shown for the lies that they are in short order.
Math don't lie.
Disney stock right now is worth what it was 9 years ago. Meanwhile S&P worth what it was only 2 years ago.
Disney's had a slight bump recently with the news of some of the woke trash being thrown out the window, but that's not going to last because they've effectively killed the Star Wars and Marvel brands and don't appear to be doing anything to change course on either of them. None of their non-Star Wars and non-Marvel properties are making any money either outside of Avatar... And that

There is a very good chance that A2 will post its first sub-$100k day next week (Days 102, 104 or 105). This is a feat that Maverick didn't pull off until Monday, Day 130.
If by some miracle A2 manages to survive next week just barely scraping by over $100k every day, it will have 3-4 days well under $100k the following week, when Maverick was still pulling in an average of $300k per weekday.

And that technically is a Fox Studios production, just like Spider-Man: No Way Home (the only Marvel movie to meet expectation since Avengers: End Game) was.

Disney defies DeSantis by hosting the world's largest corporate LGBTQ conference sponsored by Apple, Walmart and Amazon - after governor cracked down on the Magic Kingdom for slamming his 'Don't Say Gay' law
The Walt Disney Company will host a major LGBTQ conference at its Florida resort later this year, after clashing with Ron DeSantis on gay rights issues including his so-called 'Don't Say Gay' law.
The Out & Equal Workplace Summit, which bills itself as 'the largest LGBTQ+ conference in the world,' will be held at Disney World in September, after last year's event in Las Vegas.
The conference is expected to draw 5,000 attendees and is sponsored by a number of iconic American companies, including Apple, Amazon, Walmart, McDonald's, JPMorgan, and Boeing.
Disney itself also has a longstanding relationship with Out & Equal and is a top-tier sponsor for the group. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com on Wednesday evening.
An Out & Equal spokesman told the Miami Herald that Disney World has also committed to hosting next year's event, which would be held in the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election.
That's good financial shepherding, Disney.
Keep destroying your brand to appease 5,000 uber-left wackadoos.
You've apparently learned nothing. Class is still in session.
To everybody else... Don't buy Disney stocks yet. They're still far to high.

A2 lowered to 935 theaters this weekend (starting Day 99).
Maverick was still in 3,115 theaters on Day 99.
Maverick didn't dip below 1,000 theaters until Day 141.
Maverick's current lead after Day 98: $14,288,781.
Maverick's Weekend 15 Take: $6,014,128
A2 made $2,098,036 on Weekend 14, and John Wick hadn't come out yet. I think it should still make more than a million this weekend seeing how it only dipped 21% last weekend after losing quite a bit more theaters than it did this weekend.
Maverick should be extending its lead to $18.5 Million+ by Sunday night and be quite comfortably over $20 Million by Thursday. Possibly $21 Million.
ETA: Bruce says it's a coin flip, but his model doesn't even have A2 in the top 10 for this weekend.
I'm a bit skeptical about that though since that is based off a prediction that Puss in Boots beats it, and he only has that movie predicted at making $1.1 Million. I think Avatar will do better than that.
Unless this truly is the end for A2's run, that would require over a 50% drop from last weekend. A2 hasn't seen a 50%+ drop since its 2nd weekend, and the last 4 weekends were only 20%+ drops, with the weekend before that only seeing a 9% drop.

A2 pulls in $316,000 on Friday (Day 99), nearly double that of Puss in Boot's $180,000.
That is still a 39% drop from last Friday, but clearly not enough for Puss in Boots to overtake it. Sunday will be the day to look for though since it's a kid's movie.
Maverick pulled in $1,106,426 on Day 99.

I wished that Summer Glau played Sigourney Weaver’s daughter in Avatar 2. That didn’t happen because Sigourney Weaver played two roles, Grace and Grace’s daughter. If the director wanted someone who looked like Weaver to play the daughter, Summer Glau was close, but who better than Weaver? It is part of the long Hollywood tradition of having the identical twin played by the same actor in a different costume. That's a spoiler: one of these Avatar movies will probably reveal that the daughter is genetically identical to the mother. If you are still speculating who the father was of the daughter, you can stop because I predict that there was no father.
All that to explain why I picked my avatar to be Summer Glau as an Avatar:
