James Cameron Confirms AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER Will Turn A Profit - And The Sequels ARE Coming!

Filmmaker James Cameron made it clear that, if Avatar: The Way of Water flopped, the franchise would likely end. However, he's now confirmed it will turn a profit, meaning his many follow-ups are coming!

Prior to Avatar: The Way of Water's release in theaters last month, filmmaker James Cameron made it clear that, if the sequel flopped, that would likely be it for the franchise. The third movie has already been shot, so we're getting that whatever happens, but Cameron's plans extend as far as fourth, fifth, and sixth movies (and possibly more). 

Since its release, the 3D blockbuster has proved an absolute juggernaut at the box office, and has already become one of the ten highest-grossing movies of all time.

Cameron, who once claimed a $2 billion haul was necessary for Avatar: The Way of Water to be considered profitable, has now shared an update, and it's good news for fans of the Na'vi. As the Avatar follow-up nears $1.5 billion worldwide, it sounds like it will turn a profit, meaning the director will get to move forward with his ambitious sequel plans. 

"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 these other sequels," Cameron confirmed during a recent interview. "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," he added. "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."

We're sure Disney will be keen to continue making Avatar movies, particularly as they have a Pandora in Orlando's Disney World! Interest in that, and merchandise, has likely gone through the roof in recent months, and no matter how you felt about The Way of Water, those box office figures speak for themselves. 

How excited are you for the Avatar franchise's future?
