With worldwide box-office collections of above $2.8 billion, Avatar is the highest-grossing film of all time. James Cameron, who himself has won multiple Oscars for the romantic drama Titanic, has stated that the sequel needs to become the third or the fourth highest-grossing film to just break even.
Speaking to GQ, the director said that he has informed the film's production company 20th Century Studios that Avatar: The Way of Water is "the worst business case in movie history". He added, "you have to be the third or fourth highest-grossing film in history. That’s your threshold. That’s your break-even".

Though the director has also stated that he might call off Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 and wrap up the story with Avatar 3 if Avatar: Th Way of Water doesn't turn out to be a profitable venture.
