James Cameron Drops Out of ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ Hollywood Premiere Due to COVID-19

James Cameron will not attend the Monday evening premiere of his highly anticipated sequel “Avatar: The Way of Water” in Los Angeles after contracting COVID-19.

Cameron, who has not brought a film he directed to Hollywood’s backyard since 2009 when the game-changing “Avatar” debuted, is asymptomatic and feeling well, insiders said. He will continue to engage in publicity for the film, albeit virtually.

Cameron did attend the film’s world premiere in London last week. His latest opens this Friday and looks to close the year with a bang for distributor. Reports have the opening weekend box office projections at $150 million minimum. The film also scored a release in China, bolstering its chances for profitability.
