After the theatrical release is before the streaming start. This also applies to the biggest cinema event of the year, which you should definitely see on the big screen. Nevertheless, many fans are already asking the question: When is Avatar 2: The Way of Water coming to Disney?
Unfortunately, we cannot give you an exact answer. But you get an approximate one meetingwith which you your probable waiting period can estimate. The time frame depends on various factors.
When Avatar 2 is most likely coming to Disney+
Avatar 2 is expected to be available on Disney+ in May 2023. Half a year of waiting is quite long compared to other blockbusters from the Disney group (Avatar 2 was produced by 20th Century Fox). But that’s exactly what Disney wants: to earn money with Avatar 2 in the cinema for as long as possible. An early start of streaming would run counter to this strategy. A gap of six months was common before the pandemic.
Disney blockbusters from Marvel and Pixar studios are coming to the streaming platform just weeks after they hit theaters during the pandemic. That won’t happen with Avatar 2 because a lot is expected from the theatrical release. After all, we are talking about the sequel to what is still the most successful film of all time.
How important Disney’s Avatar box office revenue isthe group already proved in the fall: When Avatar – Aufbruch nach Pandora was released again in the cinemas, Disney pulled the film from the streaming platform.

Quite simply: Avatar 2 should perform well below expectations at the box office. The worse Avatar 2 does in the cinema, the more attractive an early evaluation on Disney+ becomes. should that Interest in Avatar 2 is actually waning faster than expected, the group will upgrade its streaming service offering with the expensive blockbuster. This is now standard practice in Hollywood.
However, this scenario is not all that likely: films by James Cameron, i.e. Titanic or Avatar, showed unusual staying power at the box office. That Avatar 2 is riding a similar wave of success, is of course not guaranteed, but quite probable. The reviews are good, and again, we’re talking about the sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time. Don’t be surprised if your theaters are showing Avatar 2 in April.
