HEHE

The last paragraph is all you need to read in that article.

The movies made 6.5 billion. The fourth one is going to get made. There is no way it won’t get made.

Will it get the 500 million dollar budget that the last one did? Yes.

You have to factor in what it does for Disney World. For a long time Disney’s challenge with Animal Kingdom is it had no night time attraction. Seeing animals at night is a challenge.

Pandora: The World of Avatar gave Animal Kingdom a hugely popular attraction that you can visit at night. That attraction took Animal Kingdom from the least viewed area of Disney World to the most visited area. It raised the total visiting numbers for the entire park. Disney is not going to ignore that.
