On October 19th, the movie "Avatar 2" determined the duration of the movie, which is 190 minutes. This movie of more than 3 hours not only tested the endurance of fans, but also tested the schedule of screenings in many theaters. At present, the film has confirmed that the North American release schedule is December 16, 2022. The release date in China is currently pending, and the possibility of simultaneous release of the film in China and the United States cannot be ruled out.
According to reports from regular news media, Cameron , the director of the "Avatar" series of films, has already anticipated the fans' reactions to the "Avatar 2" length of more than 3 hours, and he has such a hilarious answer:
"I can Don't want to hear people who sit down and watch a show for 8 hours and still complain that it's too long. I know the movie reviewer will say: 'This three hour movie is too painful'. He X Shut up and spare me. It's time to make a big social paradigm shift, to get up and pee (during the movie)."
The 190-minute film duration should not constitute an obstacle for moviegoers to watch. After the length of the film was announced, many fans said that this length felt like a good value for money. As long as the film was exciting enough, fans would forget the time. Of course, it is not difficult for some fans to go to the bathroom in the midfield. At present, some blockbusters with a length of more than two hours also have "intermission" time. This so-called "interim" time means that some scenes with "weak plots" appear, leaving time for fans to leave the scene temporarily.
"Avatar 2" is currently 190 minutes long. For some theaters, it is slightly difficult to arrange the film, but it is not insurmountable. For the theater, it is to make full use of the time of the day from 10 am to 10 pm. The duration of one movie "Avatar 2" is the duration of the previous two movies. When it comes to arranging films in theaters, the corresponding number of screenings will be reduced. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that "Avatar 2" will have high ticket prices. This situation exists in North America and China.
The currently announced production cost of "Avatar 2" is 310 million US dollars, which is about 2.2 billion yuan in RMB. This means that the film's global box office should exceed 6.6 billion yuan to achieve profitability. This does not seem to be a difficult task. The schedule of December 16, in the North American and European markets, is already a typical "Spring Festival". Movie fans in North America and Europe are celebrating the "Spring Festival" of the lunar calendar year. Like us, they also formed a large-scale movie-watching boom around the "Spring Festival" of their own.
At present, it has not been confirmed whether the film will be released simultaneously in Chinese theaters. My personal opinion is that "Avatar 2" is very likely to be released simultaneously in Chinese theaters. First of all, in our cinema market, we really need some blockbusters to support the market. In the next Lunar New Year stalls, the appearance of movies like "Avatar 2" will undoubtedly make the major theaters lively again. Secondly, the story of "Avatar 2" should be positive, and it will not be released because of scale problems like some Hollywood movies.
This time, the battle of "Avatar 2" has moved from the battle of the tropical rain forest to the coastal zone. The story focuses on the Sully family, Jack and Nitri, now parents, whose idyllic life is disrupted by RDA's mining operations on the planet Pandora, forcing the family to relocate to a group of reefs that are considered safe havens, where there is a For Metkayina's family. No longer living in their familiar rainforest environment, the Sullys have become fish out of water, facing unknown prospects.
The plot of "Avatar 2" was carried over 5 years after the first one. Jack Sally, a former disabled soldier on Earth, is now the patriarch of the Na'vi tribe on the planet Pandora, and he and his beloved wife Natalie have a pair of lovely children together, living a dull and fulfilling life. However, one day, a brother of a tribe was killed by a sharp weapon while patrolling near the coast. Through on-site investigation and keen intuition as a former Marine, Jack judged that human avatars had already mixed into the tribe...
Combining these story outlines, this "Avatar 2" battle should be mostly naval battles. . In fact, starting from the first "Avatar", although this series of movies mainly focuses on future science fictionThe subject matter, but the stories told are still the ones that have appeared in the ecology of human civilization. Back then, when the United States was just established, on the American soil, wasn't it just like the humans in "Avatar", holding large-scale combat weapons, slaughtering the indigenous inhabitants of North America, and robbing other people's resources. The
"Avatar" series of films is to stand on the standpoint of the aborigines and defend the survival rights of the aborigines. Such a film is more like a reflection on American civilization. It's the most interesting thing, and it's the most interesting movie. (Text / Ma Qingyun )
