The big blue aliens of Avatar might cause the blues for people in the audience, but James Cameron is laughing all the way to the bank. After all, the man is responsible for the two biggest money-makers in history, with Avatar and Titanic, which just goes to show you that sometimes you DO need to spend a lot to make a lot. The film is a critical darling, to be sure, but it’s also an unprecedented international phenomenon, having broken the $2 billion dollar mark in total worldwide box office grosses. That puts it at the top of Box Office Mojo’s all-time world chart by a good $200 million.
Between those two movies, James Cameron has made nearly $4 billion dollars. That’s not counting all his other huge hit movies. Do you think he’s built himself a big money bin so he can swim around in his cash like Scrooge McDuck yet, or is he going to wait to do that until after Avatar topples Titanic‘s $600 million all-time US box office record?
