"Avatar: The Way Of Water" Runtime Unveiled

The runtime for James Cameron’s "Avatar: The Way of Water" has been unveiled. 

Sources disclosed the movie will clock in at more than three hours, but no exact final run-time has been decided. 

Disney has provided no comment, but Cameron has previously said it is a long movie.

The sequel is scheduled to debut in North America on December 16.

News of the runtime began leaking when the movie was rated PG-13. The run-time was also posted on theater websites.

 The sequel starts ten years after the original. Disney recently released Avatar in theaters, and pulled it off Disney+, taking the pic’s gross to $785.2M domestically, and $2.9 billion worldwide.

 On the U.S./Canada box office chart of all-time, Avatar ranked fourth after "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($936.7M), "Avengers: Endgame" ($858.3M), and "Spider-Man: No Way Home" ($814.1M).

However, on a worldwide basis, Avatar is the highest-grossing movie ever, with "Avengers: Endgame" ranking second with $2.797 billion.

"Avatar" won three Oscars for cinematography, art direction, and VFX.
