Besides being the masterminds behind some of the biggest box office hits of all time, Mr. Cameron and Ms. Rowling have something else in common: theme parks. No, it's not a love for roller coasters, but perhaps a love for money. Like the "Harry Potter" franchise, "Avatar" will develop its own part of the Disney theme park.
Beginning in 2013, Disney will begin building a lush green landscape to mimic the one in the "Avatar" movie. Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time, raking in $3 BILLION dollars worldwide so it would make sense that Cameron would want to expand his brand. During and after the 2010 Academy Awards, it was clear Cameron was disgruntled by the "Avatar" losses to ex-wife and fellow director Kathryn Bigelow ("The Hurt Locker"). It could seem that Cameron's theme park motive is for his own personal gain and perhaps proving something to the Academy (and Ms. Bigelow). Sure, "Avatar" is the biggest movie of all time but how relevant will the Disney addition be 10, 15, or 20 years? Also, for a movie with suggestive content and nudity, it seems unclear as to how "Avatar" fits into the family friendly atmosphere on which Disney thrives.
