James Cameron's Consolation Prize

Over 2.5 billion in ticket sales. Avatar cost somewhere north of $300 million to make and maybe another $150-200 million in marketing, making it very profitable. The Hurt Locker had $15 million in production costs (probably less than the catering costs for Avatar) and it brought in $21 million.

Kathryn Bigelow has made a good military drama before that didn't turn a profit. K-19 the Widowmaker was an excellent movie, but it made back maybe 2/3rds of its production budget, which means it was a solid flop.
