Avatar: The Way Of Water screenings to play just one of three Fire And Ash previews, Clue-style

And, sure, this feels like a slightly transparent bid to have Way Of Water creep up just a little higher from its number 3 spot on the list of highest-grossing films of all time. (It has a $400 million wall to climb if it wants to unseat Avengers:  Endgame, but we’ve learned to never underestimate how aggressively hordes of movie-goers want to watch blue people yell platitudes about family at each other.) But we choose to instead simply see it as an homage to the simple, universal idea that it’s fun to watch Tim Curry race around a mansion while smugly declaring that Communism was just a red herring, all along.

The Way Of Water re-release begins on October 3, while Ash And Fire—which sees Sam Worthington’s Jake Sully and Zoe Saldaña’s Neytiri (and their various kids) face off against the novelty of evil (or at least very violently angry) Na’vi—will land in theaters on December 19.
