James Cameron pushes back Avatar sequels to Christmas 2017
For a film that is still technically the highest-grossing film of all time, Avatar has a surprisingly small pop-cultural footprint, which really sucks for the people who put in the effort of learning Na’vi only to be asked if they speak High Valyrian at fantasy conventions. It sucks somewhat less for James Cameron, for whom the Avatar business is recession-proof for reasons presumably related to the “highest-grossing film of all time” thing.
