Looks like we'll be waiting until 2021, it seems. Which already existing movie will the first sequel most resemble, I wonder -- The Abyss, Aquaman, Ponyo, or The Little Mermaid?

I saw Avatar just the once after it came out on DVD several years ago, but from what I remember everything was pretty much resolved by the end of the film so don't see how four or five sequels can come out of it. James Cameron seems to be under this strange belief we're all desperate to see loads more Avatar films for some reason.

He's hoping for more than $2.78 billion reasons.
I saw it the first time, its one of those films I never bothered to watch again

Not sure there's enough of an Avatar fandom or enough time passed to have created nostalgia for it to warrant this many sequels and expect them to be successful. It was a film with amazing effects for its time (has it aged well?), but didn't have any rewatch value for me.

Granted, it's been almost ten years now, so easy to forget, but Avatar was massive. Not just box office-wise, but also cultural, though the mainstream has largely forgotten about it due to other massive franchises taking their place around the same time and since then (MCU, Star Wars). Add to that James Cameron being very protective about his work, so he didn't flood the market with novels, comic books or video games to keep the brand in people's mind. It's only recently that Dark Horse has begun publishing comics, and only few at that.

Thing is, there was no fandom before Avatar. It was the first film in its franchise, and it became this massive thing without being a familiar brand to anybody. So the sequels are starting from a better position, regardless of how little it is talked about at this point.

I also don't think Cameron is doing the sequels just because of the box office of the first one. If that were the sole reason, he'd have rushed them out years ago, along with the aforementioned tie-in media. No, he makes these movies because he wants to. Whether he just likes making them, or he has a genuine artistic drive to do them, wanting to do them is clearly why he does it.

If they made a game after Avatar it would have to be a virtual reality thing.

And it would still hit shelves before Star Citizen, mind you, by then it'll be early black and white holography you have to paint/inbed in the walls.

I wonder if they'll revive Sigourney's character for the next one.

Sigourney Weaver is going to be in all of the movies.

 

[Discofan]

Sigourney Weaver is going to be in all of the movies.

So it's like the Aliens then...

Sigourney Weaver is going to be in all of the movies.

Hmm, her being part of the planets neural net now means they can talk to her whereever they are I suppose. Wonder if it's voice over only or motion capture.

 

[OCD Geek]

He's James freaking Cameron. He's one of the few living filmmakers, along with Spielberg and Lucas (you might have hated the prequels but you still helped each and every one of them make bank), where just the fact that mainstream audiences know he's the director damn near guarantees a financial success.

If he made a belated sequel to The Abyss, his only flop which only geeks know exists, it would likely break box office records. Just like back in '86, '91, '97 and '09, the downfall of James Cameron isn't going happen. Hell, the only reason The Abyss flopped is because the studio cut a ton character scenes (Cameron's spectacle supporting bread-and-butter) out of the movie, and Cameron hadn't invented the technology needed to finish his intended ending yet.

 

[Kemaiku]

Oh I fully expect all 4 sequels to make well over a billion on release, and make the collective franchise worth nearly $10 billion. I'm just not that excited about them right now.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Well, it is rather pointless to get all excited about a movie that's two and a half years away. I'm a huge fan of the original movie and am looking forward to the sequels, but aside from reading the current comics mini-series, I don't really think about them that much.

 

[Kemaiku]

Yup, I'll wait for the first trailer to get an idea of what they're even going for.
