LOS ANGELES - Walt Disney Co on Tuesday pushed back the release of James Cameron’s sequel to box-office champion “Avatar” by a year, to December 2021, and announced debut dates for new “Star Wars” films starting in December 2022.
Disney acquired the “Avatar” franchise and several other movies through its recent purchase of film and TV assets from Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox, strengthening its dominant position at movie theaters. With the sequel now scheduled for December 2020, Disney moved “Avatar 3” to December 2023, “Avatar 4” to December 2025 and “Avatar 5” to December 2027.
The story of a blue, humanoid race on a lush moon known as Pandora, “Avatar” is the highest-grossing movie in history with $2.8 billion in global ticket sales, though box office experts say its long-standing record could soon fall to current Disney hit “Avengers: Endgame” from Marvel Studios.
