We recently theorised that divergent estimates of Avatar: The Way of Water's budget, ranging between $350 million and $1 billion (US) were a matter of the expected effective cost of just this film versus what has already been spent making all four sequels.

Disney are releasing the first two episodes of their latest Star Wars series, Andor, for free (for a limited time) on several other Disney owned US free-to-air networks or subscription channels.
