‘Avatar’ to Get Another Run in 3-D
I still haven't seen the movie, but this sounds a bit insane! It'll be back on August 27th for a two week run, I'll be watching those numbers and I will be absolutely shocked if it gets the #1 spot (and watch it does).
“Avatar” will be back on 3-D Imax screens in August, and it will be longer than ever. Imax and 20th Century Fox said on Friday said that they planned to rerelease James Cameron’s science-fiction epic for a two-week run beginning Aug. 27. The film, which had a running time of 162 minutes, will include 8 minutes of new material. Fox executives had been mulling a rerelease ever since “Avatar,” which came out last Dec. 18, got nudged off Imax screens in March by Walt Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland.” The blockbuster has sold about $2.7 billion in tickets worldwide.
