El director james cameron will go down in film history for being the film director who has made the most expensive film in film history twice.
The first time was with Titanic, back in 1997, the movie cost just over $ 200 million but grossed over $ 1.800 billion worldwide, so his odyssey turned out well.
However, his long-awaited new movie, after Titanic, Avatar It has cost him 15 years of work and it is rumored that it cost 350 million dollars to make, making Avatar the highest budget movie in movie history. In addition, we must add the 150 million dollars that his production company will spend on advertising around the world. In this way, for Avatar to generate income it would have to raise, in the USA alone, almost 500 million dollars so that later the collection in the rest of the planet would be benefits.
Even though I owe James Cameron one of my favorite movies, Terminator 2, I'm afraid Avatar is going to be his big box office flop.
Honestly, after seeing the first previews of the film, I do not think that Avatar manages to become the reference film that Titanic came to be at the time, because it is directed by its theme, mostly, only to the male adolescent audience.
Anyway, to James Cameron He will have a way out to recover some of the budget of his film, to sell the technology that he has developed for, according to him, a film with images never seen in cinema.
Hopefully you are not mistaken ...
