Cameron told Wallace, “I never actually gave it a number. I said it would has to be among the highest-grossing films in history and somebody else applied that number and it got picked up. The number is actually less.”

“It looks like with the momentum that the film has now that we’ll easily pass our break even in the next few days, so it looks like I can’t wiggle out of this and I’m gonna have to do these other sequels,” Cameron told Wallace. “I know what I’m going to be doing the next six or seven years.”

Cameron also said about the sequel’s break even, “The point is we’re going to be okay. I’m sure that we’ll have a discussion soon with 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 post-production 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 multiple films.”

Yea even if you're not movie savvy you should have known better it wouldn't cost 2 billion to break even.
Ironically this movie will gross 2 billion when it's all said and done

I wonder how much this movie costed though?

And when he says break even, I guess he is including avatar three because he said they shot pretty much all the scenes.

I liked it more than the original. I don't get all the folks hating.

Yeah I was totally wrong on this. Haven’t seen the movie but clearly it’s reaching that number.

It was nice. Felt a little too long in the middle but the action-packed 3rd act redeemed it. Was just as wonderous as the first one while feeling even realer.

Didn't even know people retroactively disliked the first one. It's a top tier white savior/exploration movie with environmentalist and anti-colonialist themes, great action scenes and visuals. A simple plot doesn't cancel all that out in my book or I would hate Rush Hour.
