What's up with James Cameron stating Avatar 2 needs to collect 2B$ just to breakeven when it only costed 250M$ to produce?

In an interview with GQ Magazine, James Cameron stated that the movie needs to be third or fourth highest grossing films ever to breakeven but I fail to understand how a 250 million dollar budget movie need 2 billion dollars for breakeven. Even with the delays/ promotion costs etc, 2 billion breakeven seems very high.

That’s dependent on whether the studio wants it in theaters as a 2nd or 3rd run or if they just don’t feel like paying a print fee to the theaters and move it to streaming.

So that’s a bit of a toss up. More than likely it’ll follow the top gun model. Let it just get completely worn out in theaters and drop it to streaming just before a long break of some kind.

My guess is you’ll see this on streaming by spring break.
