![]() ![]() I couldn't find foreign DVD, foreign Blu-ray, physical rental, digital rental, digital purchase, and merchandising sales figures, but I think we can assume all that's made at least several hundred million additional dollars. ![]() They didn't even transfer these scenes over, as-is, from the old Blu-ray!Ĩ) The old collector's edition Blu-ray also includes hours of bonus content which weren't carried over to this new release.Īvatar has the highest box office take of all time at $2,923,706,026, in addition to being the fifth-bestselling DVD release of all time at nineteen million units and the second-bestselling Blu-ray release of all time at 7.5 million units in America, bringing in an additional $400,000,000 and bringing the total up to around $3,323,706,026. They could have done an ultimate cut theatrical rerelease and made even more money. Finishing these scenes would have been expensive, but nothing the studio couldn't afford. (It is possible to create your own hybrid 3D Atmos remux, however.)ħ) The old collector's edition Blu-ray contains around forty-five minutes of unfinished scenes which greatly expand the story and which have been reintegrated into the extended cut by faneditors to create an unofficial ultimate cut which runs approximately three hours and forty minutes. The studio can surely afford to upscale and regrade a mere seventeen minutes of footage.ĥ) The 3D Blu-ray didn't receive the upscale even though it could have.Ħ) The 3D Blu-ray didn't receive the Atmos track even though dozens of 3D Blu-rays have been released with Atmos. Has it ever been tried? I also thought about creating a 4K 3D hybrid remux by replacing either the left or right eye video with the 4K video, but I've read that it wouldn't match perfectly.)Ģ) The remaster is only an upscale, not a rerender.ģ) Because Dolby Vision wasn't included on the disc, it has only an MEL (minimum enhancement layer) rather than an FEL (full enhancement layer), because streams and digital downloads don't yet support DV FEL.Ĥ) The 4K upscale and HDR/DV regrades are available only for the remastered cut (which is the 161-minute theatrical cut with just one very brief added scene at the end), not the 171-minute special edition cut, nor the 178-minute collector's extended edition cut. (I wonder if a 3D HDR/DV hybrid remux is possible. Yes, it will be expensive (although $3,500 for a portable home theater replacement is actually a great deal), but prices will drop and even better headsets will become available over the next five years, which will make 4K 3D video increasingly relevant. Watching 3D movies in VR has also become popular, and the Apple Vision Pro will release next year with OLED microdisplays and greater than 4K resolution per eye. Although 3DTVs are no longer being manufactured, 3D Blu-rays are, a few 3D films are being distributed digitally, and 4K 3D projectors are now available. Unfortunately, it could and should have been a much more impressive package than it is, because with all the money this film has made, a lot more could have been done to present it in the best possible way.ġ)We can watch Avatar in 4K HDR/DV or 3D, but there is no way to watch it in both 4K HDR/DV and 3D simultaneously, since no format supports this. ![]() The original Avatar was recently released on UHD Blu-ray after many years of waiting.
