Avatar director James Cameron is begging viewers to feel free to go to the bathroom during his new movie Avatar: The Way of the Water — because he sure as s**t isn’t going to factor their pee break into the run-time!
During a chat with Empire this week, the filmmaker predicted what plenty of fans and reviewers will say about the lengthy first sequel in his proposed 5-film Avatar franchise, lamenting:

You can tell he’s already fed up with the criticism! But to be fair, binging hours of TV in the comfort of your own home is a LOT different than watching one incredibly long film in the theater. There’s mental breaks between episodes of course, but the biggest difference? You can’t hit pause at a moment’s notice at the cinema!
The original Avatar was already an astonishing 2 hours and 40 minutes, and it sounds like the follow-up flick will be even longer, reportedly over three hours! Sooo those with a small bladder are in for a wild ride because James has no plans to shorten his movie or add an intermission. His plea? He insisted:

It’s been well over a decade since James Cameron unleashed the behemoth known as “Avatar” on the film industry. At the time, the film shattered nearly every box office record on its way to a massive $2.74 billion worldwide gross (the film has gone on to be released a couple of times, putting that total up to $2.85 billion).

By the time “Avatar: The Way of Water” hits theaters this December, it’ll have been 13 years between “Avatar” films. While it’s still a big question mark whether James Cameron’s sequel can top the original’s box office ($2.8 billion), 20th Century Studios went all-in on five ‘Avatar’ films long ago, regardless.
