![]() ![]() For everyone who will pay to see Avatar 2 at the cinema like Cameron intended, scores more will wait for it to turn up for free on Disney+. And that will also extend to the film itself. Far, far more people have watched it on laptops, or phones, or smartwatches for crying out loud, than in cinemas. The conditions couldn’t be more mundane, and you suspect that James Cameron would melt like an Indiana Jones baddie if he ever caught anyone sullying his work like that.īut this is how nine million people, and counting, have experienced the trailer. ![]() Meanwhile, I watched it on a four-inch YouTube window at my desk on a sunny day while eating an apple.
