I've heard people tell me "if Cameron can replication the visuals of Avatar, maybe it could do well." Well have a little look above, he has made 7 films, had 6 visual effects nominations and 5 wins. Terminator was his first film and it had a low budget, so it's basically 5 out of 6 on being the best visual effects movie of the year, coming top 5 the other time. He's 5/5 for big budget Jim originals.
If you think it's down to chance whether Jim makes Avatar 2 look gorgeous, maybe it's time you don't.
Side note: Is Jim (James Cameron) the most acclaimed franchise as well as the objective best in box office Gross?
