"Avatar" Sequel Needs To Make $2 Billion? - Dark Horizons
James Cameron has claimed that the film needs to be the third or fourth highest grossing ever to make a profit. This would mean it would need $2bn at the box office.
I'm not convinced the bar is that high. There have been reports before that the budget is $250m and its costs are incredibly intertwined with those of the third film and to some extent the fourth so it seems likely that while it needs to make a lot, that target is hyperbolic.
Side note - Tickets are available now, I'm booked in for release date. Irritatingly there's very, very few non-3D showings - really begrudge paying for 3D glasses, still done it now. Unless it's not being specified there were no HFR showings near me though that's likely for the best based on Hobbit.
