Overview

  • Disney has announced the re-release of 'Avatar: The Way of Water' in theaters worldwide from October 3–10, 2025, for a one-week limited run.
  • The film will be screened in premium formats, including IMAX and 3D, showcasing James Cameron's signature visual style.
  • This marks the first theatrical re-release of the sequel since its original December 2022 premiere, where it grossed over $2 billion globally.
  • The re-release aims to prepare audiences for the December 2025 release of 'Avatar: Fire and Ash,' the franchise's next installment.
