By the coming weekend, the film will most likely already be way past the point of breaking even, as the director now prepares to step up his game with the third arc of his five-part franchise. The exceptionalquality thatAvatarbrings to the screens and its audience has time and again been judged by the powerful and gripping storytelling and visuals of its core plot – the fight against oppressors and the importance of family.
