The first two also succeeded because they’re hyped up as kinda “landmark” movies that you must see.

What helped with that was the long gaps in between films, but I really don’t think people are interested in seeing another Avatar film within 3 years of the last.

It just feels like “another movie” and nothing significant. I never even got around to watching the second tbh.

I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who would honestly say they actually like the Avatar films. They’re alright.

I really enjoy them and looking forward to this third one but my interest is waning. Wasn't terribly excited for the second but saw it in theaters and man it was incredible. The whole point of these movies and why they are landmark films is the budgets and technology available and implemented into them. Stories aren't breaking any ground but they're not trying to, that's not the point.
