I don't want to be too presumptuous here but I highly doubt Avatar 2 is going to live up to the BO numbers its predecessor grossed; unless, of course, Cameron pulls out another major 6D gimmick to entice the general public into seeing the "future of cinema" again. But assuming he doesn't and it becomes just another Avatar movie, what does that mean for the franchise?
People will go and see it but I really don't think it'll be that many. Because who is really a live-action Avatar fan? especially after eight years have passed already. I mean, Cameron didn't have to compete against the likes of Marvel back then. Now he's got to convince the public to not only buy into the concept but, assuming he sticks to the Winter 2020 release date, to pick between Avatar or the next (presumably) Star Wars film. I also assume Marvel and DC will be in full swing by then and god knows how many movies they'll be releasing a year.
What I'm saying is, is Avatar 2 destined to fail? For a normal blockbuster it might've done well, but it just isn't a normal blockbuster. The amount of money thrown into it means the execs expect something like a $2bn gross which is just not going to happen.
