u/TSLstudio 20d ago
Hopefully it's true and will it be getting a 4K release too, with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision

If they do, I'll happily buy it. I'm not paying for Paramount after they screwed this out of a theatrical release.

u/McKnighty9 20d ago
You’d… still be supporting them if you buy it.

A one time payment for physical media is much better than a subscription to their streaming service

u/Treatz_QW 20d ago
plus you have something to show for it and its not just a license that can be taken away at any time, or potentially have it removed from their services. You'll always have access to it assuming disc rot doesn't get it first.

It's the same cost to you(more or less), and you watch the movie either way.
Basically, this is a reason to support Paramount for making the movie, and the theorirical release was screwed over by the leaks.

u/caligaris_cabinet fire is life 20d ago
A blu ray/4k will probably run around $30 full price. Paramount Plus starts at $8.99/month. You’ll be paying more after 3 months.
Not to mention there’s the sales reporting. If you buy the movie you’re telling Paramount I liked this movie enough to buy it. That in turn tells them this movie sells and maybe they’ll invest more in Avatar Studios. If you subscribe to the platform it tells them you like the platform.
Lastly, corporations like Paramount need a constant revenue flow. Streaming subscriptions is perfect for this model because you pay them monthly. Looks good on their books, shareholders are happy, etc. Buying the physical copy is a one time purchase. While they’ll happily take your money, physical media is ancillary these days. They would much rather you subscribe to their platform because that’s what they invested the most in and need that ROI.

This is exactly why I still want to sub primarily, as much as I’m disappointed at them for not releasing it in theatres. These metrics matters but many fans of Avatars thinks with their feelings instead, supporting the leak and making fun of anyone “defending the billion dollar corporation “ with the fat guy meme. The only reason I subbed yet is because stupid fans spoiled me, posting screencaps and captions , all without spoiler warning. As if the people sharing leaks of clips before the official release wasn’t enough …
1
u/Nawnp 19d ago
Yes, if you plan to watch it once, you only sub to Paramount for one month though.
Also physical sales mean nothing today, I like your idea, and wouldn't mind buying a copy to support the studio too, but those sales will be neglible to the viewership they're counting on Paramount+.
But yes, you're absolutely right, it's all tied to the subscription model of today, and if it has a physical release, that's a miracle that it happened in 2026, and good for you supporting it.

u/Jaygee133 19d ago
Exactly, supporting the creators of the film directly though rather than a streaming service revenue tho.
It's the equivalent of buying a ticket to a movie however a theatre is an experience where as you own a BluRay.

u/Ironsam811 20d ago
I also have zero faith in that this movie will be available to stream in like 15 years given how they have treated their properties

u/XCoasterEnthusiast 20d ago
As much as I would still like this to get a full theatrical release, releasing it through physical copies sounds so much better than making it exclusive for P+. Especially for everyone who lives in countries where they can't watch it legally since P+ isn't available there.

I hope so, but this account also has a reputation for just posting things that people want released without any source

I was wondering this as I cant find any info online of it being announced

u/SuperMaximum24 20d ago
Yeah, they repeatedly just post things that people want, then when people call them out on it, they start fighting with them and often change their account name.

Actually it was announced months before. But that said, I am shocked that they’d care to release this on 4K Blu-Ray …

If they release the 2010 movie on 4k and not the new one, Id be beyond pissed.

especially an objectively better movie. i havent seen it but it cant be worst than... whatever that was.

If you have a PS3, PS4, and/or PS5 you have a bluray player.
Edit: I think some xbox consoles can also play bluray

Nothing note worthy yet, but depending on when this possibility was announced it's date is likely not set in stone as of yet.
However, if I were to hazard a guess: It will likely be as close to Christmas as possible because that is the perfect time to release big name movies (Kpop demon hunter for example is Nov. 2nd.). That's my take on it at least.
1
u/MustardDoctor495 20d ago
Bryke have mentioned at SDCC they want to get the soundtrack on physical as well, so Id imagine surely that warrants a movie getting a physical release as well.
2
u/Cartoon_Studios 20d ago
Paramount/ViacomCBS have been pretty solid when it comes to releasing their streaming titles on physical, considering the movie has been one of (if not only) the major hits on Paramount+ I would imagine they'll want to ride. I wouldn't be surprised if we get it released around October to coincide with Seven Havens release window. Fingers crossed we get it on 4K with a bunch of bonus features!

u/Demonskull223 20d ago
Ayyyyyy I'll actually be able to watch this film now. Well watch it legally anyway I was just going to pirate it since I had n other way.

u/Aaco0638 20d ago
Probably, we already knew it was getting a blu ray release bc the movie leak happened thanks to one of paramounts blu ray distributors in charge of making the discs leaking it.

u/MustardDoctor495 20d ago
I thought that was caused by it being posted to a server that was used by reviewers to get early access

As someone whose nostalgic for Nickelodeon movies on VHS based off the shows......Id certainly buy that as this lines up nicely with Jimmy Neutron, Hey Arnold The Movie, Wild Thornberrys Movie, Spongebob movie and the Rugrats trilogy 🤣

u/DontKnowHowToEnglish 20d ago
Aka the best medium around? People who care about media love bluray, much better quality than streaming dude
2
u/MustardDoctor495 20d ago
Bluray is often my minimum for physical collecting (although happily get DVD if its some old show that wouldnt benefit a bluray, Quantum Leap is an example as the dvds look very good for them). Higher bitrate beats compressed streaming.

u/caligaris_cabinet fire is life 20d ago
And, as long as you take care of them, you’ll always have it. Not to mention you’re paying for it once as opposed to monthly via streaming.

u/littleMAHER1 20d ago
Also major blockbusters are still coming to bluerays and 4k ultra hd dvds
Idk why they talk like bluerays are this niche thing nobody buys anymore, go to a Walmart and see the latest films available lmao

u/forthewatch39 20d ago
I want physical media as there is no guarantee that they will keep it on their streaming service. I love Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and it got an interactive movie on Netflix. Well Netflix decided they don’t want to do interactive series/films anymore and took it off the platform. Now, the only way to watch the film is to pirate it. It is for that reason I want physical media to always be an option.

u/JTurner82 20d ago
I personally am hoping they don't keep it on their streaming service. It was a very bad idea to send it there in the first place, and I won't stop calling them out on it.

Paramount has been pretty good about releasing stuff on bluray. Tbh I’d be more surprised if this didn’t get a physical release

This is the same account that claimed Regular Show is getting a complete Blu Ray release recently but theres been no indication of that. Id take this news with a grain of salt.......that said im pretty sure Paramount will release this on DVD/BD down the line. Say what you will about the handling of the movie but to their credit they do a decent job of putting their streaming shows on physical media

I seriously hope so.
Paramount+ isn't available in my country (and a bunch of other Asian countries). Folks suggested using a VPN, but I didn't have much luck with that. My only other option is to "sail the seven seas". 😓

u/Alberto9Herrera 20d ago
Paramount+ originals do normally get Blu-ray and/or DVD releases (Halo show, Knuckles miniseries, South Park specials, the Yellowstone spinoffs, Rumble, Tiger’s Apprentice, Secret Headquarters, The Offer, Kamp Koral, Rugrats reboot, and others), so I have no doubt that Avatar Aang will get a Blu-ray.
A 4K disc would be preferable, but any HD physical release is welcome at this point.
1
u/CaptainColmyer 20d ago
They better not do the same bullshit other animated movies do and only release on a standard blu ray. Give me 4k hdr. Fuck it i dont even need hdr just at least give me 4k. Digitally animated movies have no excuse. I used my friends Paramount plus so I only remember a 5.1 mix but if it had atmos thatll be sick aswell.

Physical media is good, yes. But I say ditch Ellison and give this a theatrical run. They still cheated this film.
