James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water is headed to the Middle Kingdom.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Avatar: The Way of Water is hitting Chinese theaters on December 16th, the same day it’s slated to open in North America and other territories. The Way of Water is the first Disney blockbuster to open in China in three years.
The first entry in the Avatar series was a hit in China, bringing in $261.8 million. Prior to the release of the movie in 2009, IMAX had 14 screens in China, but now boasts more than 800, with 200 more on the way.
In more Pandora-related news, Avatar: The Way of Water has received a PG-13 rating by the Motion Picture Association Of America. The rating is a result of “sequences of strong violence and intense action, partial nudity and some strong language.”
The final trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water made its debut on Sunday night, announcing that tickets for the movie are now on sale. The Way of Water is one of James Cameron‘s longest movies to date, clocking in at around 3 hours and 10 minutes.
