1905 film news In July this year, "Avengers 4: Endgame" broke the global box office record held by "Avatar" and created a new history. Recently, director James Cameron responded to this for the first time in an interview with foreign media. He said that his first reaction was relieved and felt positive and optimistic.
Since the "Titanic" in the 1990s, James Cameron’s box office dominance has maintained for 7,817 days (more than 21 years), but the turn of the times did not make him feel depressed, but completely in contrast.
"This gives me a lot of hope." Cameron said, "Avengers 4 proves that people are still willing to go to the theater to watch movies. Shooting "Avatar 2" and "Avatar 3" worries me the most That is, the market may have changed dramatically. The audience is no longer willing to sit in a dark room and watch movies with strangers as before."

This reveals Cameron’s concerns about streaming media platforms. Because of this, he is happy to suggest that the box office of "Avengers 4" can break the record, "not another situation to the contrary." Cameron explained that he originally thought that everyone can now enjoy their own exclusive movie-watching experience through streaming media services and various platforms, and may no longer have that high enthusiasm for theaters.
Due to various reasons, the shooting process of the "Avatar" sequel has been delayed much more than expected. Currently, "Avatar 2" and "Avatar 3" are scheduled for December 17, 2021 and December 22, 2023, respectively. Regarding whether the two sequels can achieve box office success, Cameron said that everything is uncertain, but if they sell well, the audience may still see "Avatar 4" and "Avatar 5".
