Avatar: The Way of Water — out Friday in theatres — marks the movie event of a generation, coming off the heels of a wildly successful prequel.

As expected, CODA took home the biggest prize at the 2022 Oscars, giving Apple TV+ its first Best Picture award ever. The big four awards were in fact split between four movies, with Will Smith (King Richard) and Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) winning Best Actor and Best Actress respectively, while Jane Campion (The Power of the Dog) picked up Best Director. CODA won all three categories it was nominated in — Best Supporting Actor (Troy Kotsur), Best Adapted Screenplay (Sian Heder), and Best Picture — though…

Avatar: The Way of Water trailer has clocked 148.6 million views across YouTube and social platforms in the first 24 hours since its release on May 9. While the figure includes 23 million views from China, it naturally doesn't take into consideration the countless movie buffs who watched it on the big screen before Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which was released in cinemas on May 6.
