14:58:28, Disney hasn’t been able to turn a profit on it. Since the film’s debut a little over two weeks ago, many people have been asking how much money Avatar 2 needed to make in order to be deemed a success.
Last week, Avatar: The Way of Water was a hit at the box office, swiftly becoming one of the highest-grossing films of all time. Avatar 2 is now interestingly behind Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick, which raked in a staggering $1.488 billion worldwide. As of right present, $1.4 billion has been made by Cameron’s movies globally.
It’s reasonable to believe that Avatar: The Way of Water might just surpass the $2 billion threshold based on trends shown thus far.
Why Does Avatar 2 Need $2 Billion At The Box Office?
Deadline claims that the production budget for Avatar 2 is a staggering $460 million, and that’s without accounting for marketing expenses. James Cameron hasn’t yet been kind enough to provide a precise figure, though.
In an interview in November 2022, James Cameron said that Avatar 2 needed to make $2 billion at the box office to be profitable.
“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 Water must earn more money at the box office than it did during production in order to break even. Disney may only give the go-ahead for Cameron’s three additional sequels to the franchise if The Way of Water proves to be a financial success.
Avatar 2 will surpass Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which is now the most costly film ever filmed with a production cost of $379 million, assuming the real cost of making the film is close to the figures provided by Deadline. This gives The Way of Water even more justification to earn $2 billion at the movie office.
Avatar 2 may or may not be the most costly movie ever created because the precise costs have not yet been disclosed. Lachlan Murdoch, the heir to Fox Media, made a statement that supported the information above. Murdoch stated that the follow-up to the $1 billion dollar budgeted first Avatar film that would be one of “the most expensive movies of all time.”

We’ll just have to wait and watch if The Way of Water surpasses the $2 billion mark at the box office. But given that the film has enjoyed outstanding success just a little over two weeks after its debut, it stands a good possibility of surpassing the threshold.
