The trailer for the “Avatar” sequel attracts big views

The online release of the teaser trailer for James Cameron’s sci-fi sequel “Avatar: The Way of Water” on Monday drew many eyes.

Disney and 20th Century have revealed that the clip in its first 24-hour online window received 148.6 million views, including 23 million from China alone. The number does not include the millions more who saw the trailer before “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” last weekend.

Its number of views puts it ahead of all recent “Star Wars” movies, but behind two other works alone this year – Amazon’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” series teaser (257M) and Marvel’s “Thor: Love” and the Thunder “teaser trailer (209M).

Cameron’s 2009 “Avatar” movie remains the highest-grossing movie ever at the worldwide $ 2.84 billion box office, not adjusted for inflation. It will be re-released in theaters on September 23rd.
