With nine films and three Oscars under his belt, James Cameron has delivered one winning hit after another. He began his career in 1981 with Piranha II: The Spawning, the sequel to the cult classic killer fish movie. His film has grossed over $8B at the worldwide box office, including over $7B with just last five releases.
James Cameron’s films have not only left an indelible mark at the box office but have also been sewn into the fabric of pop culture by helming some of the most iconic films in history, including Titanic and Terminator. He is truly a visionary maestro who was way ahead of the technological curve in the industry, sparking the 3D craze fest with Avatar that would eventually consume the filmmaking landscape.
