Also 350+ budget for Avatar 2 vs the 250 previously claimed

That's not counting A&M I guess? Frankly I thought they'd go much harder marketing it than they have. Cutting losses maybe?

If I want (& think it can) to do $1b domestic I'd have gone all out for 2-3 months prior to release. Think DSTR2 + SPID8 & then some!

In fact international markets they'd have to compete with World Cup soccer. There might even be movie screens showing it live some places *

Yeah 350+ would just be physical production costs presuming 350+ is really 399ish it does need to make a billion WW to recoup (vs 1.5)

Old Timers Club, when the first AVATAR came out, James Cameron refused to authorize theatres having people in blue costumes/makeup for promo
