Avatar 2 budget

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) was so expensive to create that it will have to destroy the record books to be profitable, according to the film director, James Cameron. Credit: 20th Century Studios Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) is, at present, the most costly movie ever created, with a budget of $422 million. To illustrate how much the new Avatar would have to bring in to break even, Cameron said, “you have to be the third or fourth highest-grossing film in history. That’s your threshold. That’s your break even.” Avatar: The Way of the Water must beat Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) or Avengers: Infinity War (2018). It would have to come close to Marvel Studio’s Avengers: End Game (2019) figures to make an actual profit. Avengers: End Game was the second highest with $2.7 billion, and even Titanic (1997) in third place ($2.1 billion), which Cameron himself also directed; any figure under $2 billion would be a loss. Credit: 20th Century Studios Cameron’s original Avatar, released in 2009, still holds the top spot as the highest-grossing movie, having pulled in $2.9 billion. As per 20th Century Studios’ description, here’s the synopsis for Avatar: The Way of Water: Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water begins to tell the story of the Sully family, the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure. With a massive...

After being in theaters for just over a month, Avatar: The Way of Water—the long-awaited sequel to Spider-Man: No Way Home’s spot as the sixth highest-grossing movie of all time last week; to move up to the No. 5 spot, currently held by Avengers: Infinity War, it needs to make over $2.05 billion. Now it has become the first ever pandemic-era movie to hit the $2 billion mark and Cameron’s third movie to gross that much in box office receipts. He’s the only director in history to have three movies gross over $2 billion. After 13 years in the making, all eyes were on the Avatar sequel to see if it would make its budget back and turn a profit for Disney. (Disney spent a reported $460 million to create and promote the movie, according to Variety.) Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the box office has experienced major struggles, causing widespread concern and even bankruptcies in the theater industry. Then last year’s Top Gun: Maverick seemed to re-energize moviegoers, proving that the theater industry was far from dead. The Tom Cruise-led film grossed over $1.489 billion in 2022 and seemed to be the uncontested, almost sole reason for movie-going’s resurgence—that was, until Avatar: The Way of Water swept in to make $1.5 billion at the end of 2022 and take its spot as the highest grossing movie of last year. Now, as the movie reaches yet another milestone, the question becomes: How much money can it make before it loses steam? Here’s a breakdown of how and where the...

James Cameron certainly had a lot to live up to after Avatar became the biggest movie of all time, and while the sequel didn't quite reach its predecessor, it still ended up with a massive haul. At the end of its run, Avatar: The Way of Water managed to become the third highest-grossing movie of all time, behind only Avatar and Avengers: Endgame. It means Cameron has made three of the four biggest movies ever. But how much exactly did Avatar 2 make?

It was Avengers: Endgame with $2.8 billion, before a re-release saw Avatar overtake that sum to regain its crown. While few expected the sequel to reach those heights, the incredible performance of the sequel has ensured that Cameron will get to Avatar enjoyed an extraordinary run that saw it cross the $2 billion mark on January 31, 2010, 47 days after its release, before ending its initial release at $2.75 billion. The sequel achieved the feat quicker at 38 days of release, but the first movie's haul was out of reach, ultimately. At least it can claim to have reached $2 billion quicker than the record-breaking first movie.

The point is we’re going to be OK. I’m sure that we’ll have a discussion soon with the top folks at Disney about the game plan going forward for Avatar 3, which is already in the can – we’ve already captured and photographed the whole film, so we’re in extended postproduction to do all that CG magic. And then Avatar 4 and 5 are both written. We even have some of 4 in the can. We’ve begun a franchise at this point. We’ve begun a saga that can now play out over mult...
