‘Avatar: The Way of Water,’ the sequel to the 2009 film ‘Avatar,’ is returning to Philippine theaters for a limited theatrical release starting on Oct. 1.
The James Cameron-helmed film will be screened in the Philippines for a ‘one-week special engagement’ on Oct. 1, while it will hit international theaters two days later, according to a press statement.
‘Avatar: The Way of Water,’ which originally premiered in 2022, follows Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and their family more than a decade after the events of the first film.
While Jake is already the chief of the Omatikaya clan, he and his family move to the Metkayina clan, the eastern side of their home planet Pandora – as it faces another colonization threat.
The film grossed over $2.3 billion and it bagged the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. It is currently the third-highest grossing movie worldwide.
Joining Worthington and Saldaña are Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis, Kate Winslet, Britain Dalton, Jamie Flatters, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Bailey Bass, and Jack Champion. /edv
