Film fans who haven't seen Avatar yet — or who can't wait to see it again — now have their big date: It's coming back to theatres on Aug. 27.
The re-release on 3-D and Imax screens will include eight minutes of new footage.
Avatar, the highest-grossing movie of all time, has already brought in $2.7 billion worldwide, and 20th Century Fox points out that it's also the top-selling Blu-ray Disc of all time.
"Since — and largely as of result of — Avatar's release last December, the number of available digital 3-D screens has exploded, and moviegoers who missed experiencing the film in 3-D will now have that opportunity," Fox said in a news release. It said the studio has been inundated with requests to re-release the movie in theatres in 3-D.
It quoted Cameron as saying, "Audiences repeatedly told me they wanted more of Pandora, and wished they could have stayed there longer. So we're making that possible. Avatar: Special Edition will be exclusively in 3-D, and will have eight minutes of never before seen footage, including new creatures and action scenes. Whether you already love the movie, or you've never seen it, with this Special Edition, you'll be seeing it like never before."
Fox has picked a good weekend: The only competition is a horror movie called The Last Exorcism, a faux documentary, and Going The Distance, a rom-com with Drew Barrymore and Justin Long.
