It’s no secret that long films face a significant challenge when it comes to cinema screenings. The duration of these movies limits the number of showings, unlike shorter films that can fit into a tight schedule. However, Avatar: The Way of Water managed to defy this convention and become one of the exceptions to the rule.

Now, fans eagerly anticipated its arrival on the Disney+ streaming platform.
