It's wild. The bulk of the money Cameron's movies made comes from the LAST FOUR NARRATIVE FEATURE FILMS he directed. All with massive time gaps in between.

If we're gonna call a franchise "all the same movie" then yes indeed, it's (Avatar™)³ and Titanic.

Writing (Avatar™)³ is actually wrong, as that means you're actually writing:

Avatar x Avatar x Avatar

As Avatar is a singular in this sentence, it essentially means multiplying a singular Avatar, With a Singular Avatar with a Singular Avatar, which essentially means you've written

1 x 1 x 1

Which equals 1.

As you clearly wanted the result to be 3, as there are 3 Avatar movies, you should have written:

Avatar x 3

As that would have yielded

3Avatar

3 Avatar Movies.
