Return to the arena of Pandora from the relief of your personal sofa when Avatar: The Way of Water hits Disney Plus on June 7. But wait! If you've gotten a Max account (the streaming service currently known as HBO Max, which will become Max on May 23) as a substitute, you'll also watch it there on the identical day. Thanks earlier distribution offers!

Avatar: The Way of Water premiered final December, a complete Thirteen years after James Cameron’s original film premiered in 2009. It adopted the next generation of the Sully family, however most importantly, it offered a pod of sentient space whales called the tulkun. The movie clocks in at simply over 3 hours, but staring at it by the use of streaming means you'll be able to pause anytime you wish to have if you want to run to the toilet. And considering how much water is in this movie — smartly, let’s just say that’s a most probably state of affairs.

Any movie appearing up on two other streaming platforms on the similar time is surely a unusual and unexpected turn of events, but it is smart that one thing particular is going on for a movie as large as Avatar: The Way of Water. The explanation why it’s showing up on both Max and Disney Plus is on account of the Disney’s acquire of 20th Century Entertainment — the studio that produces the Avatar franchise.

While 20th Century Studios is now underneath the Disney umbrella, that wasn’t the case the final time the corporate, then referred to as 20th Century Fox, negotiated a streaming rights contract. At the time, 20th Century agreed to permit its motion pictures to stream solely on HBO Max, the Warner Bros. streaming platform, as a result of 20th Century didn’t have one in every of its personal. However, now that the studios is owned by Disney, it nonetheless has to honor its maintain Warner. While usually that deal is exclusive, it sort of feels that Disney has bargained its means into Avatar 2 touchdown on each streaming products and services, which is how we got this abnormal deal.

Either method, congrats, Avatar lovers! Or as the Na’vi say: Congrats, Avatar fans!
