AVATAR AANG Will Only Be Shown In Theaters In Two Cities
The limited run may help the film qualify for awards while Paramount+ remains the main release after an online leak.
- Starting Friday, July 24, Paramount Skydance will host a limited one-week theatrical run for 'Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender' in Los Angeles and New York, allowing the film to qualify for next year's Academy awards.
- Following a merger with Skydance, Paramount shifted the film to streaming-exclusive status, triggering backlash from fans and creators that intensified after an April leak of the completed movie.
- To satisfy the Academy's seven-day requirement for Best Animated Feature eligibility, three daily screenings will occur at AMC Burbank Town Center 6 in Los Angeles and AMC Empire 25 in New York.
- Most theater tickets sold out immediately, though fans can still attend an exclusive screening at San Diego Comic-Con on July 24.
- As the first project from Avatar Studios, this theatrical run may signal the studio is reevaluating its strategy, potentially testing audience demand for future cinematic releases.
