Visionary filmmaker James Cameron invites audiences to return to the breathtaking world of Pandora when 20th Century Studios’ Avatar: Fire and Ash arrives on Digital March 31, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. The cinematic event continues as the film becomes available to own on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, and DVD May 19, featuring stunning Dolby Vision picture quality and immersive Dolby Atmos audio that bring the visually spectacular, action-packed adventure home in breathtaking fashion.
Avatar: Fire and Ash continues the franchise’s extraordinary box office momentum, earning $1.5 billion worldwide and ranking among the Motion Picture Association’s top-grossing films of all time. That global success is matched by powerful audience enthusiasm, including a 90% Verified Hot Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes®, alongside major honors for Best Visual Effects from the Academy Awards®, BAFTA, and the American Cinematheque, among others. Critics have hailed the film as “a movie event unlike any other” (Ross Bonaime, Collider), with some declaring it “the best Avatar yet” (Matt Hambidge, FandomWire), praising its masterful blend of natural wonder, breathtaking action, and emotional storytelling.
Fans can explore the world of Avatar: Fire and Ash on a deeper level with more than three hours of never-before-seen bonus content, offering an expansive look at the creation of Pandora. The extras dive into the development of Na’vi culture, including the language, design, costumes, and environments, while also taking viewers behind the scenes of the filmmaking process with in-depth looks at performance capture, visual effects, and groundbreaking 3D technology that bring the immersive experience to life.
A limited-edition 4K Ultra HD SteelBook® immediately immerses collectors in the high-flying intensity of a Mangkwan attack, then reveals a striking contrast as the case opens to the serene beauty and spiritual calm of the Na’vi within Pandora’s lush rainforest, housing the film’s discs in a design that reflects both the film’s epic scale and emotional depth.
The complete Avatar cinematic journey comes together in a must-own 3-movie collection, available on Digital, 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD, featuring Avatar, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Avatar: Fire and Ash. This comprehensive bundle invites fans to return to the breathtaking world of Pandora and experience its unforgettable characters and epic storytelling again and again.
Return to the breathtaking world of Pandora in the most powerful chapter of the Avatar saga yet. As Jake and Neytiri guide their family through grief, they journey with the nomadic Wind Traders across Pandora’s skies. But the Sullys’ path is threatened by a new enemy — the Ash People, a warlike clan led by the fierce Varang — who have turned against Eywa and the ancient Na’vi way.

It represents the closest cinematic approximation to being on track: immersive, relentless, and uncompromising. More than a format choice, the IMAX presentation stands as an extension of the filmmakers’ core intent—to deliver the most authentic and visceral racing experience ever committed to the screen.
A film shot during the 24-Hours of Le Mans, at race speed, with no reenactments.
Felipe Nasr, a three-time Winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona, stepped into Porsche Motorsport’s Hypercar during the historical 24 Hours of Le Mans. He immediately proved the prototype’s lethal potential by setting the fastest time in Free Practice. Then everything fractures. A mechanical failure in qualifying drops him to the back of the grid, turning a championship bid into a survival mission. When the lights go out, he is forced into a relentless, all-or-nothing charge through the field, where precision, risk, and obsession blur into a single instinct. 2DIE4 is an immersion into the psychology of speed, capturing for real the cost of chasing victory when there is no margin left to lose.

THE TASTE OF TEA | Premieres in Theaters Beginning May 8th
The pristine image of the Japanese family is turned on its uber-polite head with surreal aplomb in THE TASTE OF TEA, a far-out collection of hilarious vignettes. Set in the languid countryside, Mom is an eccentric artist who eschews household chores for an animation project with occasional help from crazy grandpa. Meanwhile, Dad is just your everyday hypnotherapist. Their teenaged son suffers from hangups about the opposite sex while his little sister must contend with a doppelganger. Uncle is a groovy music producer on a respite whose ghostly past experiences still haunt him.
Maverick director Katsuhito Ishii (who created the animated sequence in Kill Bill: Volume 1) pulled out all the stops for this endearing outré take on the Japanese psyche, presented in a new HD master supervised by the director. Replete with non-stop irreverent gags, anime digressions, musical numbers and candy-coated lysergic passages, THE TASTE OF TEA, nominated for the SACD Prize at Cannes and winner of Best Asian Film at the Fantasia Film Festival, is, “a true delight that elevates feel-good cinema to a whole new level and charms from start to finish” (Screen Anarchy).

Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture.

Your best friendship is worth fighting for.
DreamWorks Animation, the studio that brought you unforgettable bonds between a boy and a dragon in How to Train Your Dragon, an ogre and a donkey in Shrek, and a robot and a gosling in The Wild Robot, now welcomes a dazzling and emotional story about two lifelong best friends who must come together before they drift apart in Forgotten Island.
The new original film is written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado and is produced by Academy Award® nominee Mark Swift, the filmmaking team behind Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
Grammy and Academy Award® winning supernova H.E.R. and Liza Soberano (Lisa Frankenstein, Alone/Together) star as high school graduates Jo and Raissa, who have been best friends since grade school but are now about to embark on separate life paths.
While celebrating their last night together, Jo and Raissa stumble upon a mysterious portal that transports them to the fantastical island of Nakali, packed with magical and mythological creatures they grew up hearing stories about from their Filipino families.
Some of these figures will become friends, some foes. Joined by well-meaning-but- hapless weredog Raww (Dave Franco) and a small-but-mighty pack of pals, Jo and Raissa must face The Dreaded Manananggal (Tony winning icon Lea Salonga), the most feared creature on the island. When they discover that the memories of their entire friendship are the price for returning home, Jo and Raissa will race to find a way to leave the island before they forget each other forever.

The messenger – idealistic French emigré, Charles Darnay (François Civil) – is arrested and charged with treason. Lucie enlists the help of a brilliant but erratic young lawyer, Sydney Carton (Kit Harington), to free Darnay in the hope he will lead her to Paris to track down her father. Lucie’s collision with Darnay and Carton unleashes a powerful and complex love triangle. Both men fight to be worthy of her love, and Lucie is torn over which one to choose. Yet neither man – physically so alike, spiritually poles apart – can escape the other. Instead, they find themselves bound together in life and death, through triumphs, tragedies, marriage, and murder.
