Probably the most spectacular factor of that is the truth that Cameron has asserted himself as a filmmaker who has managed to captivate moviegoers throughout a number of many years at this level. With “Titanic,” he secured the highest-grossing film ever as much as that time in historical past — a film that many in Hollywood doubted. Then, properly over a decade later, he as soon as once more crafted the most important film ever with “Avatar” which was, by an insanely excessive margin, the highest-grossing film ever. And, although it briefly misplaced the crown to “Endgame,” it truly managed to take again the title months later.

Reduce to “Avatar: The Method of Water,” which was launched a full 13 years after the unique “Avatar” and entered theaters with a sky-high funds, stated to be between $350 and $450 million. It is nearly actually the costliest film ever made. Individuals had their doubts – may it cross that $2 billion threshold? Did individuals even care about an “Avatar” sequel anymore? Once more, Cameron silenced his doubters and made a success the likes of which many people may need thought was by no means going to occur once more within the aftermath of the pandemic.

So, as we await the discharge of “Avatar 3” (and “Avatar 4,” and possibly “Avatar 5”) it’s price remembering that one ought to by no means, ever doubt James Cameron. He’s the king, and he has remained the king each time he has stepped as much as bat over the past 25 years.
