Avatar: The Way of Water director James Cameron has admitted the upcoming sequel would need to be the "third or fourth highest-grossing film in history" to turn a profit.
Cameron told GQ in a recent interview that The Way of Water was "very f***ing" expensive to make, though he didn't share an exact figure to support or refute claims that the production budget was around $250 million. He did, however, refer to the movie as "the worst business case in movie history" before revealing that the long-awaited sequel would need to rank highly in the global box office charts just to break even.
"You have to be the third or fourth highest-grossing film in history," Cameron said about turning a profit on the movie. "That's your threshold. That's your break even."
Cameron has been notably vague on the future of Avatar past the third installment. As of right now, Avatar: The Way of Water is set to hit theaters on December 16, and Avatar 3 is due out in 2024. The other sequels are also pencilled in, with Avatar 4 eyeing a December 2026 release and Avatar 5 lined up for December 2028 — although Cameron might not helm all of the upcoming sequels if they end up happening.
