Saying that Avatar: the path of water was a great success may be the king of all understatements. The film is now the fourth highest-grossing film of all time worldwide and one of six films to cross the $2 billion mark. That’s a lot of money, and it turns out that a sizable portion will go to director James Cameron, who will make at least $95 million from the film.
A new list of the 10 highest paid artists by Forbes ranks James Cameron eighth, with $95 million. All of this income would be the result of his work Avatar: the path of water. The $95 million is the bare minimum, as Cameron’s deal would be based largely on final deals, in which the director received bonuses for the film hitting various box office goals. And the movie isn’t finished yet, so Cameron couldn’t be either.
Comeback offers have become quite common for big names in Hollywood. Instead of receiving a large salary up front, actors and directors often receive something small (or even nothing) up front, in exchange for a share of the movie’s profits after it’s released. It’s usually a good deal for the studio, because they end up paying less for a movie that doesn’t make a big impact on audiences. But for movies that work, like this one, it can be a huge payday. Last year’s other multimillion-dollar hit, Top Gun: nonconformistit was a big payday for Tom Cruise for the same reason.
Cameron is assumed to have a similar deal for avatars 3 when it comes out in late 2024. Both Avatars the movies were shot at the same time so it was probably all done as one deal. Avatar: the path of water it was a big hit, even after years of people not knowing if the public cared Avatars. At that time you have to assume that avatars 3, It is almost certain that now one of the most anticipated upcoming Disney films, it will do very well at the box office. Chances are we may see Cameron back on that Forbes list in a few years when the next movie comes out.
and while the path of the water made so much money that it probably paid for both films to be produced, Disney is in a solid financial position for the third film. Then James Cameron will enter the next two Avatars movie and we’ll start again. The original plan was not to start filming. avatars 4 AND 5 Until avatars 3 has been released, though that’s the plan in a pre-Disney 20th Century Fox release, so we’ll have to wait and see if there are any changes to that plan.
