there is also advertising cost. generally the 'cost of the movie' does not include advertising...and is usually double cost of film.
a $250 million movie would cost and additional $250 million (in general). that movie would been to make over $500 million to start seeing profit. of course, dvd, and other licensing will make up for it.
apparently, no one knows...or is willing to say, how much Avatar actually was to make. some say $300-$500 million.
