Avatar 2 budget: How much did it cost?

Avatar 2 is believed to have a budget of $460 million, making it the most expensive movie in Hollywood history by a considerable distance.

This estimate comes via Deadline, which cited its sources reporting the Avatar 2 budget to be around $460 million before more than $100 million on marketing.

James Cameron revealed the sequel will need to be the “third or fourth highest-grossing film in history [to be profitable]. That’s your threshold. That’s your breakeven.”

Avatar: The Way of Water was originally said to have a production budget of $250 million, and its three planned sequels (two of which may never go ahead if the first follow-up flops, Cameron has warned) were earlier believed to have a combined budget of $1 billion. As per Variety, Fox media heir Lachlan Murdoch earlier said: “These will be the most expensive movies of all time.”
