How To Make A Lot Of Money! Check this out...

Avatar’s official budget lies somewhere in between, probably closest to the figure the Los Angeles Times’s John Horn and Claudia Eller cited earlier this month—$280 million for the production, plus marketing costs.

$280 Million + the cost of marketing the movie

As of February 9, 2010, Avatar has grossed over $2.24 billion in worldwide sales.

2.24 BILLION! Do the math on that one...

Warren Buffet started with $100 basically and is now worth over 50 Billion.

Your budget could be $1, as long as you market it properly like Avatar, people will go see everything. And they did - Avatar was a big, steamy piece of shit. Ya I said it.

I wouldn't care how the movie was if I could turn 30 grand into (roughly) 120 grand...lol. Thats some serious return on your dollar!

For every successful James Cameron, there's probably a five hundred million who struggle everyday. There's a lot of creative and hard working people who just can't get that lucky break sadly. Anything is possible, but realistically, there's only few doors with millions of people trying to break through.

I dont knpow why yall are hating on it , I thought it was really good.
Apparently so did ALOT of other people.

I don't believe in the idea of popular opinion being right

I mean think about it, both Bill Clinton AND George Bush where elected TWICE by popular vote.

Not saying you are wrong relic, I'm just sayin....

LMAO! Forget the movie! Look at the return on the investment! I gotta admit, I liked the movie very much, but the money it made -vs- the money spent on it blows my mind. I never realized that investing in movies had that much potential.

@Pug - cosign 100%

Yeah, he's a real nice dude too. I met him briefly when I was in the Westwood area of Omaha when I used to live there. Rich man but very down to Earth. The house he lives in is modest considering the $$$ he's worth.
