Cameron explained this to the NYT, saying:
I think I could have done a sequel two years later and blown it up because people had no connection with the characters or the direction of the film. My personal experience is this: I made a sequel called “Aliens”, seven years after the first film. It was very well received. I made a sequel called “Terminator 2” seven years after the first movie. It earned an order of magnitude more, in terms of revenue, than the first film. I was a little worried that I had stretched too far, in our fast-paced modern world, with “Avatar 2” 12 years later. Until we released the trailer and got 148 million views in 24 hours. There’s this barely seen but amazing beginning, which is, Wow, we haven’t seen it in a long time, but I remember how good it was back then. Does it work in our favor? I do not know.
