James Cameron on How Much Avatar Cost to Make

[BloodyK1ll]

i wish there was a titanic 2. Oh wait.....

[Krieger91]

@xogogreen89 lol what the hell? No computers for starwars? They had computers in the 1940's. Technically had them in 1801 and before that too.

[Erectoralporicy]

Why did that piece of shit movie make so much money? Two words for you: Fern Gully + Pocahontus.

One of the most pathetic movies I have ever seen.

[yeahdude7]

$8 to see it? I paid $17.

[ethusiasm]

@yeahdude7 he must got a coupon or something.

[pedinoway2]

thats the perfect jew nose right there

[loveyatothebones]

avatar was okay, i liked titanic a lot more (if you were to compare the two). and it definitely wasn't an $8 movie, i'm pretty sure i paid like $17 for it. whatever, james cameron is still boss!!

[daveyaziz]

i think james cameron should have gotten his star of fames when he made titanic 14 yrs ago

[xAllAboutMe]

I loved Avatar!

[chips96iii]

I hated avatar.

[xxbluejay21]

I payed 17 bucks to see this in imax 3d... 7 times... and i fking loved every minute of it.

[jacktsahou]

this isn;t a movie. it was experience. in greece was 12Euro. we sucks

[jacktsahou]

this isn;t a movie. it was experience

[colinmat12]

James Cameron is a tool.

[TwiSm69]

mine were 86 dollars!! wth!

[ISuperLoveMovies]

8$? I payed 21 F*ucking $ for that 3D mess. I want my money back.

[23aballa23]

Northern VA tickets were 24 dollars

[lrcdert2010]

In TN it's $15

[skill14]

NYC imax 3d flicks are $21 per ticket. craziness

[acebunny17]

Truth be told,avatar is not a terrible movie,its just a terribly disappointing one

[k97cross]

Screw you James! Don't dare try and play the victim. Tickets cost near 20$ for your headache, sickness inducing 3D.

[MrTheman709]

i didnt like this movie cause it was to long and there was no storyline to it i didnt start likeing it till the battles started and everybody started dying

[AriesLudzik]

Man-made global warming has now been exposed as the greatest scientific scandal of all time !

And James Cameron is a hypocrite who has one of the largest carbon footprints on the planet -- he owns 3 huge mansions in Malibu, a JetRanger helicopter, tons of cars & motorcycles, a yacht, a firetruck, a fleet of submarines, etc., etc... That's a whole lot of fossil fuels !!!

Cameron is a HUGE global warming hypocrite !

[Buckleofbelt]

legend of the guardians the two towers is better

[UnforgivableMen]

Avatar wasn't as good as I expected it be. The first Transformers were way better!

[j04370859]

@UnforgivableMen Couldn't disagree more.

[UnforgivableMen]

@j04370859 Well, matter of opinion

[ilovepanslabyrinth]

Saw it six times at the movies

Each time worth it

[TorinMarch]

It was a good 3 hr long movie. Too bad I only sa half of it cause it was TOO DAMN LONG.

[PostmanPaz]

in the uk its like £11 to see a 3d movie! making it something like $18. UK sucks balls, i would know. i live here

[anafortbezzaf]

I paid nothing to watch this movie. actually didn'tt watch it yet!! cuz there is no 3D here. I will watch it on 3D or never

[ytgurlii]

@anafortbezzaf i m with ya on tht 1

[screenjunky]

looking forward to watching the extra 8 minutes of footage

[ItchyGuy87]

Just goes to show that if you make a movie pretty enough, it can be about anything and people will go see it.

[mafiafattony]

I Wintnessed this movie it was good storyline could of been better theres was no 3d at all very lightly done 3/5!

[dano132454]

its not avatar its retard

[GeorgeLovesTiffany]

you guys are fags F*cK star wars or star trek or whatever it it. and quit being losers

[BrokenBjartur]

Is it wrong that I got aroused by that Avatar sequence? =S

[vvesly]

i lieks blue creature

[aznerd999]

does anyone know when jimmy kimmel makes new shows?

[SuperMrKanu]

@aznerd999 everyday on abc

[donde81]

I paid $16

[RobtheBig]

since the movies message was about persevering cultures and being green and jame cameron made a shitload off that movie, dont you think he'd at least give some of that money to tribes in 3 third world countries?

[Punchatori]

@RobtheBig The movie was about leaving pre-existing cultures alone. Why give money to tribes when they probably still use the barter system. It would be useless.

[RageAgainstNWO]

@RobtheBig wtf are tribes in 3rd world nations going to do with money? They live in the wilderness, are they going to burn it for fire?

[cisdac]

@RobtheBig Better yet! Donate food and clothing, and give new houses to the tribes within America (i.e. Lakota tribe need help). That would be a bigger statement because you have some tribes right within America living in third world like conditions.

[SoulOfStupid]

@cisdac just because i tribe is in america doesnt make it more important then other tribes living in the same conditions

[cisdac]

@SoulOfStupid Your argument is flawed and stupid. Stop replying to comments that are way above your intellectual capability.

[SoulOfStupid]

@cisdac why do u have to be such a bitch?

i was just trying to share my opinion.

and as for my intellectual capability, u would know nothing considering all u know of me is the 1 sentence comment i made on youtube.

[acebunny17]

@RobtheBig No! you've been tricked by an oil salesman,you fool.

[Stinger198]

@RobtheBig And if he did, you assholes would find another problem and lynch him for it.

[RobtheBig]

@Stinger198 probably

[EZRASHUGEREVIEWS]

@RobtheBig He announced that he's making Avatar 2 and 3 and that all the profits on both films are going toward charities for environmental causes.

[RobtheBig]

@EZRASHUGEREVIEWS ALLLLL the profits???

so the actors, countless cgi animators, cinematographers, hell 21century fox are all going to get reduced pay? I find that hard to believe that allll the profits will go to that. But if thats true than thats great, that will be a huge donation to help save our planet. But why doesnt he also start by using 'Avatars' profits as well?

[EZRASHUGEREVIEWS]

@RobtheBig Why do you think they're keeping the money the first movie made? That's why they're sending out all the profits for Avatar 2 and 3.

[eggiex1]

LOL "And where's the money going? It's going to people who need jobs in a tough time" What a corporate fairy tale XFD

[JBomber22]

james cameron....im from the same home town as him....best Canadian director

[QueerSwede1]

Avatar is over-rated. Not the special effects, they are great, but the storyline is too boring. Still love it though.

[CircleofShit]

I like James Cameron, but Avatar and Titanic sucked. Still, hes come a long way and all the best to him.

[oudavis1]

avatar stinks

[carfreak0729]

dam i payed $11 to see it in 3D

[nimenialturo]

after 5-6 minutes of whatching this movie i felt so guilty for doing it, and the only reason i remained there is because i was with a hot girl

this movie was pathetic from the story line, and even up until the special effects, when i am high i see things so much more alive then avatr presents

[TheDM75]

@nimenialturo lol wannabe fag.

[nimenialturo]

@TheDM75 speaking from experience?

[TheDM75]

@nimenialturo Im just saying

[ShamanMorphh]

I8U7Y6T5REDSWAQ

[1988scottcarey]

james cameron is canadian! goo canada!

[thechosenalien]

i still havent saw this movie and dont plan to

[jmjacknife]

@thechosenalien you probably shouldnt see it..you cant type in proper english so you probably wouldn't understand it anyway..As for the movie i paid 14 bucks to see it in Imax 3D and couldn't wait to do it again.. It isn't the #1 grossing movie of all time for nothing!.. you probably just don't like advancement in film technique and superb effects ... some people don't so...your loss..it was GREAT.. but people love to knock success

[thechosenalien]

@jmjacknife wow fag alert

[pdlsuper7]

@thechosenalien its i still havnt seen this movie and i dont plan to 

[coolmanjones]

cameron needs to cut the hair

[d1v4dPwnz]

blue grease paint.. THATS what its called :)

[Strogenforcer]

Avatar is the best movie I've seen in 10 years hands down, James Cameron you can make movies unlike that dummy Michale Bay. JC FTW !!!! AVATAR KICKED MAJOR ASS !!!!

[1ordy421]

I thought james cameron was the main star in avatar lol

[StinkyRaf]

JimmyKimel is AWESOME - subbed

[mmm1494]

canada got talent

[rorschachnite121]

here in LA 3-D costs $14.

[fataslin]

@rorschachnite121 here in london its £10, about $18

[LouSaydus]

wow it looks terrible on youtube, soooo much better in theaters.

[insaneapples]

that movie is uhh amazing

[Nagowteena]

I payed $7 bucks to see that movie in 3D, and it was worth every cent.

[MasterRegal]

@Nagowteena Jesus, where the hell do you live that a 3D ticket costs $7? I payed $18 for 3D IMAX here in NYC.

[Nagowteena]

@MasterRegal I live in Texas, and I have an army id, so I got a discount. without a discount it would have been 10 bucks. I guess that's still a lot cheaper then in NYC. (btw, my mom grew up in NYC!) eeek on the price though.

[TeamMoteck]

its over 2bil over all box office value

[CHUBAASAURUS]

yeah WHAT $7?!? here in canada it's aboot $18 aswell

[thealdo17]

18 bucks? holy shit you got jipped

[brokensnail]

@Nagowteena 7 Bucks where you seeing movies thats cheap as. im paying 20+ :(

[DesQueJteVois]

@Nagowteena 7?!?!?! wtf 2D costs $17.50 here.

[Nagowteena]

@DesQueJteVois I guess I live in a good location when it comes to seeing movies without braking the bank.

[karma187x3]

@Nagowteena $7 bucks?? Where do you live man? I paid $27 for 2 ppl in LA lol

[Nagowteena]

@karma187x3 El Paso TX. pretty boring place to live though.

[skydark]

@karma187x3 27$ to watch a shitty cartoon called avatar?

Takes the concept of overpriced to a whole new level.

[TheLonghairraven]

@Nagowteena $7?? I paid $15.

[DropAGemOnThem]

@Nagowteena So its not worth much then, cause that movie sucked

[theman0091]

@Nagowteena Where the hell do you live that 3D movies are only a 7 dollars?!

[Nagowteena]

@theman0091 El Paso TX

[Kyder]

@Nagowteena What the hell!? Only 7 bucks!? I paid 15 to see it in 3D here in Arizona. Where in the world do you live?

[Nagowteena]

@Kyder Far West Texas.

[Kyder]

@Nagowteena Wow, thats crazy. Wish it was that cheap here. D:

[Demonboy121]

@Nagowteena if you live in Australia they cost like $13 a ticket :S.

[XxRaN96xX]

the movie was 237 Million where the fuck is everyone getting 500Mil from

[GunGraveTZA]

Ran, it costed $150 million for promotion. Still not $500 million but certainly more than $237 million.

[hollywoodqueen28]

great movie but james cameron can kiss my ass.ill never pay to see another one of that assholes movie

[PodFilmsUK]

@hollywoodqueen28 Any particular reason?

[bluebishi]

i payed 16 to see this at IMAXz. who payed 8?

[iloveannanicole]

Yeah, I was gonna say, Where'd he pay $8?? Maybe some sort of press discount? hehe.``The money is going to people who need jobs`` (AKA mostly ME). My bf & I are thinking of seeing this movie on Sun. I`d rather see Youth In Revolt. How was it? It`s the type of movie I`d only see because of the 3D.

This is a pre-judgement, so maybe I`ll see it & take it back but It seems kinda sad that he`s getting all this credit based soley on special effects. From what I`ve read, the plot isn`t that great.

[MrSpitz99]

i paid 10 =[ and it was not 3-d

[the3VIL]

@bluebishi imax? wow that is proooo, i am jealous

[bluebishi]

@the3VIL you tried the KFC double down? im jealous

[TheSiTuAtIoNfiles]

great movie though

[Dinizterz]

500 Million?

Geez.

It was great. but not 500$ Million dollar material.

Waste.

[gmanthebeast1]

you wouldnt say that if you saw it your a hater

[gmanthebeast1]

and it was 200 mill not 500 you werent listening

[Haryazz]

you just don't know your facts, $230 million came from Fox and other investors the other $270 mill came out of Jame's own pockets.

[lilhoffman6]

but it got billions of dollars in revenue so not a waste

[Haryazz]

Waste? LOL !!! yeah it's up to 1.2 billion world wide at the box office. A 500 million dollar gamble and you more than double it, and guess what it is still #1 at the box office after 4 straight weeks, Then you factor in merchandising and blueray and dvd sales when they are released, you are looking at close to $2,000,000,000 profit. Yeah what a waiste, man I'm glad i listen to people's youtube posts.

[NitraicAcid]

Shit movie.

[daft9punk]

have you even seen it? or are you another Avatar hater?

[TheIndianmango]

asshole

[AudioInjectedSoul11]

No hes not, the guy was paparazzi.

[rmarquez008]

James Cameron is an asshole

[RajaofNYandPGH]

Does that matter? Do you go to a movie thinking, I wonder if the people involved were good people for making a stunning movie with a solid message? The entire industry is as real as a green screen and if they are assholes, they are assholes who get things done.

[EyEnOtgAy]

well congrats to the assholes for making a good goddam movie, avatar was not perfect but no movie is

[Colton5]

I thought it was

[phonebush]

yes he is but this movie rocks!

[AudioInjectedSoul11]

ya then again they were made years before this...

[BeatsRoyale]

Well, James Cameron just took a huge shit on George Lucas, and PeterJackson

[ilovepanslabyrinth]

@TheSeventhSeal777

Even though I consider The Hurt Locker a masterpiece

I'm proud I saw Avatar six times at the movies

The first time was my favourite

[ilovepanslabyrinth]

@TheSeventhSeal777

I saw it 6 times at the cinema and it was worth it every single time

[JCBiden]

@TheSeventhSeal777 You can't compare those. Those movies are old compared to this. Why on earth.. That's like comparing Super Mario Bros to Call Of Duty 4.

[ThePeterson21]

@TheSeventhSeal777 yeah all those movies were made years ago and half the budget.

[Galakhor]

@TheSeventhSeal777 Yeah and Crysis looks way better then Tetris and Space Invaders... What's your point?

[lol96]

I saw it yesterday in 3D because IMAX 3D was sold out. It was 3 pm when I went to go see and the 6:30 pm IMAX was already sold out. It was an Amazing movie. Well worth my money.

[dannydavanti75]

By the way a spokeperson from 20 Century Fox said that Avatar cost 237 million to produce and 150 marketing. A total of 387 million. END OF DISCUSSION. Stop inflating the budget of Avatar.

[Haryazz]

500 million at least get your facts straight

[ELMER832007]

people go watch this movie.. it's for all ages. girls and guys.. you'll thank me later.. make sure you see it in 3-D

[coolguyrocks]

3 times in IMAX!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Eternity4EvaStudios]

Dude, that movie is pretty cool in 3D. I'd prefer to watch it again in 2D, though...

[Toadphillips]

that movie sucks

[Amberdennoa]

huhumy cam is running abd i am really bored with all that stuff

[fabuyan]

avatar is awesome!

[SuperNerd707]

Cameron is the man!! Avatar is incredible!

[xharekx33]

LOL, blue aliens using Brazilian Jiu Jitsu against a large flying reptile, nice.

[GalryZ]

I know! Right?

[Corpucle]

hmmm i rather watch a 2 million movie....atleast that has a good story

[SeriyBeliy]

@Corpucle that story was kick ass... of cause we all have different taste

[sandman553]

these 2 million dollar movies that u like to watch probably take 2 months to make copared to this movie thats nothing.

[BenMcCormack91]

Today's film is brought to you by the color BLUE.

[514liveinaghetto]

i swa avatar and EVYONE seriously EVRYONE should go watch it its REALLLY good specially in 3d

[101feven101]

what is it about? does it have a good storyline

[514liveinaghetto]

its about humans takin over another planet for economic reasons and the story grows from there, full of action some romance here and there but overall the action scenes takes the cake

[101feven101]

cool

[hellowjp]

It has a very engaging story line!

[dannydavanti75]

Engaging story yes but the special effects is the REAL DEAL. This is by far the most AMAZING movie I have ever seen. Most people would agree with me.

[hansrosbach]

Awesome!

[edgurrr]

i payed 20 bucks for imax 3d.

so worth it

[whailman]

Avatar was CRAZY AWESOME.

[bkd24]

i saw the movie the plot freakin sucked but the graphic were sick

[nabbunsechkie]

damn, he pays $8 for a ticket? It's $10.50 in my area of jersey and $12 in the city

[0lovechild0]

I had to pay £9.15! That's roughly $15 I think :S

[souloflucky7]

SHit. JKL is blocking my country. i cant watch the older videos

[kleinundleise]

Noone might remember this unless they're in their 20's... but am I the only one who thinks the blue creatures looks like Abe from Abe's Odyseey (aka Oddworld)?

I mean, they're blue, got braided hair, yellow eyes, rides on big bird-like things, four fingers... or perhaps I'm just reading too much into things.

[ChocolateFlux]

@kleinundleise

Not really.

Abe was way uglier :D

Great now I have that:"get freaky" song stuck in my head

[RageMachinie]

James Cameron's Canadian.

I never knew that.

[jondeak]

movies gonna bomb.....25 to 50 million at the most opening THATS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!!

[S0vereignty]

77 million dollar opening. Owned.

[abram730]

It may bring in a total of one billion at theaters...

All the IMax weekend shows were sold out. I got in for a sold out Monday show. I was so amazed by the the movie I saw it again Tuesday and that show was also sold out. The movie ended to applause both shows..

2D clips don't do it justice.

Avatar had made $73 million nationwide and $159 million international before I even saw the movie.
