Avatar 

premiered in London on December 10, 2009, and was released in the United States on December 18 to
positive reviews, with critics highly praising its ground-breaking visual effects.[23][24][25] During its theatrical run, the
film broke several box office records and became the highest-grossing film at the time, as well as in the United States
and Canada,[26] surpassing Cameron's Titanic, which had held those records for twelve years.[27] Avatar remained
the highest-grossing film worldwide for nearly a decade until it was overtaken by Avengers: Endgame in 2019, before
a Chinese re-release saw Avatar retake the top spot in March 2021.[28] Adjusted for inflation, Avatar is the second
highest-grossing movie of all time after Gone with the Wind with a total of more than $3 billion. It also became the
first film to gross more than $2 billion[29] and the best-selling video title of 2010 in the United States. Avatar was
nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director,[30] and won three, for Best Art
Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects.[31] The success of the film also led to electronics
manufacturers releasing 3D televisions[32] and caused 3D films[33] to increase in popularity.
