That’s right: moviegoers will get a chance to revisit Pandora when Avatar hits theaters again on August 27 . Eight minutes of “never before seen footage” will accompany this re-release that will be shown only in 3-D and IMAX 3-D. The film will re-appear in 10 other countries besides the U.S. on or after the 26th and 27th.
Since Avatar is the highest grossing film in history, it’s already been seen by most people. A re-release with a few extra minutes might not be enough to get people to see the film again. Also, rising ticket prices for films in 3-D and IMAX 3-D may steer people away from seeing the Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning sci-fi epic. Then again, films themselves are by the second becoming less dependable. If people are not interested in anything else out at the time, chances are that they will decide to watch Avatar once more.
There is no solid “yes” or “no” answer as to whether or not audiences will rush to see Avatar again; it is a mystery for now.
Here is the official information:
On August 27, return to Pandora and re-experience James Cameron’s History-Making Epic film, with more than Eight Minutes of Never Before Seen Footage- exclusively in Digital 3D and IMAX® 3D. Since - and largely as of result of – AVATAR’s release last December, the number of available digital 3D screens has exploded, and moviegoers who missed experiencing the film in 3D, as well as fans that want to return to Pandora again, will now have that opportunity.
The Oscar® and Golden Globe® winning epic is the highest grossing film of all time, taking in over $2.7 billion in worldwide box office. It is also the top-selling Blu-ray disc of all time.
