Let’s say Avatar 2 makes 2.1 billion worldwide. His last 3 movies will have made 7.2b total… averaging 2.4b, which is the 3rd biggest ever.

Avatar is at 2.9bil
Endgame is 2.8

Cameron average 2.4

Titanic 2.2
SW:TFA 2.06
Infinity War 2.04

Say what you will about him, the man delivers his vision with results that are nearly impossible to fathom.

Responses:

opportunity cost. what else could he have been making since 1997 and how much would those have done? -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 8, 11:04 6
- Forbidden Planet, JMS said he wrote a script in collab with Cameron that is sitting on Cameron's shelf. -- (link) - Remlik Jan 8, 11:35 1
  - Interesting list of things that would have been.... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 8, 11:37
- "Jar Jar: A Star Wars Story" -- nm - Max Jan 8, 11:16
- He could have made like ten Titanic documentaries. -- nm - Dano Jan 8, 11:12
- "James Cameron's Little Women" -- nm - prayformojo Jan 8, 11:11 1
  - James Cameron's John Carter From Mars -- nm - rollo Jan 8, 11:46
Now compare his gross to say... SSPEI. As in total. -- nm* - Spawn Jan 8, 10:38 8
- 10.65b from 54 movies vs 7.9bil from 14. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 8, 10:42 7
  - Nice. I think Cameron averaging 564M per film might be his most impressive stat, really. -- nm - Spawn Jan 8, 11:41 6
    - I actually misread. That includes the 3 future Avatars and Piranha 2 which didn’t have a total … so 10 or 11 - Will Hunting Jan 8, 12:08 4
      - he's made exactly as many features as Quentin Tarantino, in about twice the time -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 8, 12:23 3
        
        and compare the box office results -- nm - Beaker Jan 8, 12:50 2
        
        they do different stuff. i'd rather they both did more but especially for Cameron to go full Ahab on a mediocre story idea for 25 years is malpractice -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 8, 13:07 1
        
        yep -- nm - mud Jan 8, 13:09
    - hmph -- (link) - mud Jan 8, 11:50 [Backboard]
