The red carpet segment of the premiere in Sanya, Hainan on December 8th was urgently cancelled due to "force majeure", and director Cameron and the creative team were unable to attend. Viewers who have purchased tickets will receive a full refund within 14 days and compensation for the Avatar 3 movie voucher.

Except for the red carpet, the subtitle "FIRE AND ASH" of the film has been hidden in some Chinese promotional materials and changed to "Avatar 3". The screening sessions (three CINITY editions) and Cameron Master Class activities will continue as usual.

The cancellation date is immediately following the Hong Kong Tai Po Super City fire incident on November 26, 2025, which caused significant casualties.

The film's theme and visual design are highly focused on the element of "fire": a giant flame installation is set up at the Hollywood premiere, and the interactive elements of the creators are all centered around the flame theme. It is widely believed that the imagery of flames may touch upon the public's traumatic memories of disasters.

Most netizens support the adjustment decision, emphasizing that "Chinese emotions take priority over commercial propaganda", and believe that avoiding the visual stimulation of flame symbols in the post disaster period is a basic respect.

Disney did not directly acknowledge the fire's association, but its actions reflect the multinational corporation's keen anticipation of regional social emotions and avoidance of potential public opinion risks.

After canceling the red carpet, the focus shifted to technical experience (such as CINITY LED version 48 frame projection) and in-depth analysis of the plot.

The number of people in mainland China who "want to see" has exceeded 570000, with an estimated box office of 1.5-2.2 billion yuan in the industry. The red carpet has cancelled or weakened short-term popularity, but the core demand for watching movies has not been affected.

Some comments point out that 'when the flames of fiction collide with the ashes of reality, business decisions must give way to humanistic care'. The promotional adjustment of Avatar 3 this time may prompt Hollywood to increase the localization risk assessment process in its future promotion in China.
