James Cameron joins exclusive club of billionaire film directors
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"James Cameron joined a small club of billionaire film directors as he prepared to release another instalment of the Avatar franchise. According to Forbes, the filmmaker's net worth crossed the $1bn mark, placing him alongside Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Peter Jackson, and Tyler Perry. The Titanic director's net worth comes almost entirely from his box-office returns, with several of his films among the highest-grossing releases in cinema history."
"Avatar still holds the title of the highest-grossing film in history with $2.9bn worldwide, and The Way of Water is the third highest-grossing film, bringing in $2.3bn. In the first and second parts of the franchise, viewers were introduced to two different Na'vi clans, the Omaticaya and the Metkayina. Collectively, his work has generated almost $9bn in global ticket sales, excluding revenue from re-releases, home entertainment, and ancillary rights."
The Independent sends reporters to cover issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, investigating topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet refuses to use paywalls and relies on donations to fund on-the-ground journalism and maintain free access to reporting and analysis. James Cameron joined billionaires among film directors after Forbes valued his net worth above $1bn. His wealth derives almost entirely from box-office returns, with Titanic and multiple Avatar films each grossing over $2bn and generating nearly $9bn in global ticket sales.
