    apparently they planned the next 50 years of avatar in advance and got 3 movies being filmed concurrently

      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.

        getting concerned as I feel gradually less and less ironic in my Cameronist Bonapartism
