The “S” in James Cameron‘s name ought to be replaced with a dollar sign. The director behind three of the four highest-grossing films of all time is money in the bank, even when his ambition is about to get the best of him. However, the awe-inspiring spectacle of Titanic and Avatar comes at a price, with the budget of 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water running as high as $350-$460 million. Still, despite the public skepticism of his mammoth production, the checks will always clear for Cameron. Considering his overwhelming success, it’s hard to imagine that he will ever return to making intimate, lower-budget movies. In fairness, Cameron has little experience working on a smaller scale. Even back in 1994, The Terminator director was breaking financial records with True Lies, a relatively quaint film by Cameron’s standards that was the most costly movie of all time upon release.
