It has been revealed that James Cameron is now moving ahead with three sequels to Avatar instead of two. As was reported yesterday, Josh Friedman (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) has been hired to work on the screenplays for the next three instalments, although he will now be joined by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Rise of the Planets of the Apes), and Shane Salerno (Savages). The films will all be shot simultaneously, with the first sequel set to be released in December 2016 and Avatar 3 and Avatar 4 following in 2017 and 2018. The first movie remains the highest grossing movie of all-time, with Titanic and The Avengers behind it.

'With only Marvels's The Avengers behind it'. Not quite right, The Avengers is No.3, Titanic holds the second spot for highest grossing.

Sounds good to me.

The movie far from deserved the money it earned but it was still cool. No problems with sequels. :)

Chill out haters he made a mistake. But we all know that Titanic had to do a release again just to stay ahead of the Avengers. How sad. Avengers should have that spot. They should release Avengers, the Iron Man trilogy, CA:FA, CA:WS, Thor and Thor:TDW right before Avengers 2 in a marathon. Then the Avengers can take it's rightful spot.

If I can find a point in 2016 when I want to spend 3 hours of my life in utter boredom tinged with disbelief that another story is so blatently being heisted, I'll pencil that in.

Avatar doesn't need anymore sequels. Whatever happened to the James Cameron who made the first two Terminator films and Aliens?

I will get them all in a forquel pack. :) Will be one hell of a collection.

didn't they say that Avatar 4 would focus on Sully's brother back on earth though? They said something about it being a prequel right? Or maybe I'm going full retard here! lol

Man, all the people on here claiming that Avatar is overrated have to realize the same EXACT thing goes for Avengers! lol Not bashing the movie because I'll give it an 8/10 but trust me when I say it's overhyped as hell!
