Development on Avatar began in 1994, when Cameron wrote an 80-page scriptment for the film.[7] Filming was supposed to take place after the completion of Cameron’s 1997 film Titanic, for a planned release in 1999,[8] but according to Cameron, the necessary technology was not yet available to achieve his vision of the film.[9] Work on the language for the film’s extraterrestrial beings began in summer 2005, and Cameron began developing the script and fictional universe in early 2006.[10][11]

Avatar was officially budgeted at US$237 million.[2] Other estimates put the cost between $280 million and $310 million for production, and at $150 million for promotion.[12][13][14] The film was released for traditional two-dimensional projectors, as well as in 3-D, using the RealD 3D, Dolby 3D, XpanD 3D and IMAX 3D formats, and also in 4-D.[15] The stereoscopic filmmaking was touted as a likely breakthrough in cinematic technology.[16]


Avatar premiered in London on December 10, 2009, and was released internationally on December 16, and in North America on December 18, to critical acclaim and commercial success.[17][18][19] The film broke several box office records during its release and became the highest-grossing film of all time in North America[20] and worldwide, surpassing Titanic, which had held the records for the previous 12 years.[21] It also became the first film to gross more than $2 billion.[22] Following the film’s success, Cameron stated that there will be a sequel.[23] Avatar has been nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director
