Cinephiles are eagerly waiting for James Cameron’s biggest cinematic event of the year, as Avatar: Fire and Ash is set to release on December 19. With the release of the third installment of the Avatar franchise, this feels like the perfect time to look back at the director’s incredible impact on the global box office. Very few filmmakers have shaped the commercial side of cinema the way Cameron has. From the groundbreaking action of Terminator 2: Judgment Day to the emotional power of Titanic and the visual revolution of the Avatar films, every project he touches expands what movies can do.
A Strong Connection With Indian Audiences
Cameron’s movies have always performed exceptionally well in India. Titanic became a pan-India cultural phenomenon long before multiplexes were common. Avatar (2009) sparked one of the earliest 3D waves across the country, and Avatar: The Way of Water went on to deliver one of the strongest theatrical runs for a Hollywood film in India.

Now, the excitement for Avatar: Fire and Ash is growing fast, with 1.2 million Indians showing interest on BookMyShow—proof of the trust audiences place in Cameron’s name, which stands for scale, immersion, and cutting-edge technology.
Worldwide Box Office Dominance Like No Other Filmmaker
Globally, Cameron stands alone. He is the only filmmaker in history to have three films among the top five highest-grossing movies of all time – Avatar ($2.92 billion) (No. 1 worldwide), Avatar: The Way of Water ($2.34 billion), and Titanic($2.26 billion). No other director has achieved this level of box-office dominance across multiple decades.
