James Cameron Says ‘Avatar 2’ Is Profitable and He’ll Make the Sequels

The director was on this week’s episode of HBO Max’s Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? and pointed out his mega-budgeted sequel has crossed $1.5 billion at the the global box office (surpassing Top Gun: Maverick to become the highest-grossing film released in 2022).

“It looks like just with the momentum that the film has now that will easily pass our break even in the next few days, so it looks like I can’t wiggle out of this, I’m gonna have to do these other sequels,” Cameron said (with presumably some feigned reluctance, given his obvious dedication and enthusiasm for his franchise). “I know what I’m going to be doing the next six or seven years. 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.”
