        Disney approached Cameron about doing sequels and he told them he wasn't going to do it piecemeal and have Disney cancel the series if one of the sequels did bad. He wanted $2B upfront for 4 more movies and for all the filming to be done at once, and Disney gave it to him. Avatar 2's box office according to google is $2.3B, so they already likely made back the costs of the 4 sequels, meaning the box office on the next 3 are pure profit.

      Pacing is a bourgeois lie meant to constrain the minds of the proletariat. They profit off showing us quick 30 second bites of content while putting ads in between them, so they cannot stand the idea of Big Jim giving the proletariat 9 hours of masterful artwork to inspire their souls.
