How much does Avatar 3 need to break even at the box office?
James Cameron has openly discussed the significant financial pressure behind the third film. Its massive production cost of more than $400 million doesn’t even include marketing, which means it would typically need to earn over $1 billion worldwide just to recover its budget. And with Disney expected to spend heavily on promotion, experts believe the actual break-even point could be even higher.
James Cameron has acknowledged that the future of the franchise largely depends on the film’s box office performance. He has even hinted that Avatar 4 could be delayed, changed, or turned into a novel if Fire and Ash doesn’t deliver strong enough results. Avatar is the highest-grossing film of all time worldwide, with a $2.9 billion collection, and Avatar: The Way of Water is the all-time third-highest-grossing film, with a $2.3 billion collection.
More about the upcoming film
Avatar: Fire and Ash is projected to earn between $110 million and $130 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend. If things turn out in its favor, then it might be able to recreate the same magic as its predecessors. Avatar: Fire and Ash by James Cameron will be released on December 21.
