Bit of a sensational title, but it's probably not far off.
Avatar: The Way of Water Needs to Be 3rd or 4th Highest Grossing Film of All Time to Make Money

That's downright misleading. They have invested money into all 4 Avatar sequels. Yes, the first would need to make $2 billion to make profits on the venture as a whole, but that ignore the box office the other 3 sequels would bring in.
The total budget is $1,000,000, but that doesn't even mean all that money has been spent.
Reports have the budget for Avatar 2 at anywhere from $250-$400 million, with the sequels being set up in a way that the other ones will be cheaper per film.
Avatar 2 also has a confirmed release in China, which should help greatly. The first one earned $200 million there, but the box office potential of China has expanded greatly since then.
