Easily done:

  1. Wait for AI bubble to burst
  2. Buy render farm on the cheap
  3. Avatar 4

Although I'm assuming that the raw rendering pipeline is what costs the most. I could be dead wrong about that - there's a whole army of artists, technical people, and actors that go into such a production too.
