A month out now, I think it's time to call time of death on Avatar.
First one was a fluke capitalising off gimmicky 3D.
Second one was milleni-boomers viewing it because they vaguely recalled the first one's hype, and zoomers tagging along because they grew up hearing milleni-boomers cream their pants over the first one.
But now it's clear it's a dead franchise. There's no gimmick to lure people back. Both above groups got their fill already. From here on it's just movies without a target audience.

They are excellent movies. Among the best ever made.

The real question is it an Avatar problem, or just a movie problem.
Box office still hasn't recovered from covid.
It seems unlikely the next Avengers movie will be well reviewed as it doesn't have 10 years of build up propping what will likely be an over cramed script. What happesn when Doomsday only pulls in 1.4billion too.

A billion profit while its still in theaters and before any streaming or syndication deals is still a solid profit even accounting for the advertising budget.
They'll make another one at that level of return.

The performance of Avatar 2 and now 3 is mirroring the performance of the Star Wars sequel trilogy movies with a strong downwards trajectory, so an Avatar 4 will probably make 1 billion but I don't see them greenlighting a 5 straightaway like they did with 2 and 3. With the massive budgets these movies require making anything less than 1 billion probably isn't worth it and Cameron himself was having second thoughts about continuing it.
