AVATAR 2 cost 2 BILLION to make. Do you Jimmy Cameron 20th century studios make thier money back?

That... that doesn't make sense. Why would the sequel cost MORE to produce, when we've had more than a decade to refine and develop the CGI techniques that made the first one so pricey? Okay, there's inflation, but that hasn't hit devastating level yet. And the economic downturn and lockdown damages would have more studios MORE reluctant to pour insane amounts of money into what's essentially a vanity project
(albeit one that turned out VERY well). Unless it's for paying off the lawsuits from the authors of Ferngully and Dances with Wolves, it makes no sense that it would cost that much.

I'm only going by what they said on IE. You're free to file a complaint with them.

[ChiTown33]

It comes out the 18th I think.

I don't know, I guess I never gave it much thought, the wokeness.

[BCA6010]

Doubtful. Unless at least a decent chunk of that is also going into the other planned sequels, there's pretty much no way it'll make that much back let alone turn enough of a profit to justify.
