Avatar Program head Dr. Grace Augustine considers Jake inadequate, but accepts him as an operator. While escorting the avatars of Grace and Dr. Norm Spellman, Jake's avatar is attacked by Pandoran wildlife and flees into the forest, where he is rescued by the Na'vi princess <a href="/wiki/Neytiri" title="Neytiri">Neytiri</a>. Suspicious of Jake, she takes him to her clan. Neytiri's mother, Mo'at, the clan's spiritual leader, orders her daughter to initiate Jake into their society. Colonel <a href="/wiki/Miles_Quaritch" title="Miles Quaritch">Miles Quaritch</a>, head of RDA's security force, promises Jake that the company will restore the use of his legs if he provides information about the Na'vi and their gathering place, the giant <a href="/wiki/Pandoran_biosphere#Hometrees" class="mw-redirect" title="Pandoran biosphere">Hometree</a>, under which is a rich deposit of unobtanium. Learning of this, Grace transfers herself, Jake, and Norm to an outpost. Jake and Neytiri fall in love as Jake is initiated into the tribe, and they choose each other as mates. When Jake attempts to disable a bulldozer threatening a sacred Na'vi site, Administrator Parker Selfridge orders Hometree destroyed. Despite Grace's argument that destroying Hometree would damage the <a href="/wiki/Neural_network_(biology)" title="Neural network (biology)">biological neural network</a> that encompasses all Pandoran life, Selfridge gives Jake and Grace one hour to convince the Na'vi to evacuate. Jake confesses that he was a spy and the Na'vi take him and Grace captive. Quaritch's soldiers destroy Hometree, killing many, including Neytiri's father, the clan chief. Mo'at frees Jake and Grace, but they are detached from their avatars and imprisoned by Quaritch's forces. Pilot Trudy Chacón, disgusted by Quaritch's brutality, airlifts Jake, Grace, and Norm to Grace's outpost, but during the escape Grace is shot and fatally wounded. Jake regains the Na'vi's trust by connecting his mind to that of the <a href="/wiki/Pandoran_biosphere#Great_Leonopteryx" class="mw-redirect" title="Pandoran biosphere">Toruk</a>, a dragon-like creature feared and revered by the Na'vi. Supported by Neytiri and the new chief Tsu'tey, Jake unites the clan, telling them to gather all the clans to battle the RDA. Quaritch organizes a strike against the Tree of Souls to demoralize the Na'vi. Before the battle, Jake prays to the Na'vi deity <a href="/wiki/Mother_goddess" title="Mother goddess">Eywa</a> via a neural connection with the Tree of Souls. Tsu'tey and Trudy are among the battle's heavy casualties. The Na'vi are rescued when <a href="/wiki/Pandoran_biosphere" class="mw-redirect" title="Pandoran biosphere">Pandoran wildlife</a> unexpectedly join the attack and overwhelm the humans, which Neytiri interprets as Eywa answering Jake's prayer. Quaritch, in an <a href="/wiki/Fictional_universe_of_Avatar#Amplified_Mobility_Platform" title="Fictional universe of Avatar">AMP suit</a>, escapes his crashed aircraft and breaks open the avatar link unit containing Jake's human body, exposing it to Pandora's poisonous atmosphere. As Quaritch prepares to kill Jake's avatar, he is killed by Neytiri, who saves Jake from suffocation, seeing his human form for the first time. The RDA are expelled from Pandora; only some humans are chosen to stay.

The story would be of an entire world complete with an ecosystem of <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/phantasmagoria" class="extiw" title="wikt:phantasmagoria">phantasmagorical</a> plants and creatures, and native people with a rich culture and language.<a href="#cite_note-starts-48">[45]</a> Estimates put the cost of the film at about $280–310 million to produce and an estimated $150 million for marketing, noting that about $30 million in <a href="/wiki/Tax_credit" title="Tax credit">tax credits</a> would lessen the financial impact on the studio and its financiers.<a href="#cite_note-NYTimes-20">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-latimes_budget-21">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-vanityfair-22">[19]</a> A studio spokesperson said that the budget was "$237 million, with $150 million for promotion, end of story."<a href="#cite_note-Patten_(2009)-6">[4]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Filming">Filming</h3></div> <a href="/wiki/Principal_photography" title="Principal photography">Principal photography</a> for Avatar began in April 2007 in <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wellington" title="Wellington">Wellington</a>. Cameron described the film as a hybrid with a full live-action shoot in combination with computer-generated characters and live environments. "Ideally at the end of the day the audience has no idea which they're looking at," Cameron said. The director indicated that he had already worked four months on nonprincipal scenes for the film.<a href="#cite_note-79">[76]</a> The live action was shot with a modified version of the proprietary digital 3D <a href="/wiki/Fusion_Camera_System" title="Fusion Camera System">Fusion Camera System</a>, developed by Cameron and Vince Pace.<a href="#cite_note-popularmechanics-80">[77]</a> In January 2007, Fox had announced that <a href="/wiki/3D_film" title="3D film">3D filming</a> for Avatar would be done at 24 frames per second, despite Cameron's strong opinion that a 3D film requires a higher <a href="/wiki/Frame_rate" title="Frame rate">frame rate</a> to make <a href="/wiki/Strobing" class="mw-redirect" title="Strobing">strobing</a> less noticeable.<a href="#cite_note-81">[78]</a> According to Cameron, the film is composed of 60% computer-generated elements and 40% live action, as well as traditional <a href="/wiki/Miniature_effect" title="Miniature effect">miniatures</a>.<a href="#cite_note-epic1-82">[79]</a> Motion-capture photography lasted 31 days at the <a href="/wiki/Hughes_Aircraft" class="mw-redirect" title="Hughes Aircraft">Hughes Aircraft</a> stage in <a href="/wiki/Playa_Vista,_Los_Angeles,_California" class="mw-redirect" title="Playa Vista, Los Angeles, California">Playa Vista</a>, Los Angeles.<a href="#cite_note-latimes-67">[64]</a><a href="#cite_note-quittner-83">[80]</a> Live action photography began in October 2007 at Stone Street Studios in <a href="/wiki/Wellington" title="Wellington">Wellington</a> and was scheduled to last 31 days.<a href="#cite_note-84">[81]</a> More than a thousand people worked on the production.<a href="#cite_note-quittner-83">[80]</a> In preparation of the filming sequences, all of the actors underwent professional training specific to their characters such as archery, horseback riding, firearm use, and hand-to-hand combat. They received language and dialect training in the Na'vi language created for the film.<a href="#cite_note-makingofavatar-85">[82]</a> Before shooting the film, Cameron also sent the cast to the <a href="/wiki/Hawaiian_tropical_rainforests" title="Hawaiian tropical rainforests">Hawaiian tropical rainforests</a><a href="#cite_note-86">[83]</a> to get a feel for a rainforest setting before shooting on the soundstage.<a href="#cite_note-makingofavatar-85">[82]</a> During filming, Cameron made use of his <a href="/wiki/Virtual_camera_system" title="Virtual camera system">virtual camera system</a>, a new way of directing motion-capture filmmaking. The system shows the actors' virtual counterparts in their digital surroundings in real time, allowing the director to adjust and direct scenes just as if shooting live action. According to Cameron, "It's like a big, powerful <a href="/wiki/Game_engine" title="Game engine">game engine</a>. If I want to fly through space, or change my perspective, I can. I can turn the whole scene into a living miniature and go through it on a 50-to-1 scale."<a href="#cite_note-Waxmantimes-87">[84]</a> Using conventional techniques, the complete virtual world cannot be seen until the motion-capture of the actors is complete. Cameron said this process does not diminish the value or importance of acting. On the contrary, because there is no need for repeated camera and lighting setups, costume fittings and make-up touch-ups, scenes do not need to be interrupted repeatedly.<a href="#cite_note-ChicagoTribune-88">[85]</a> Cameron described the system as a "form of pure creation where if you want to move a tree or a mountain or the sky or change the time of day, you have complete control over the elements".<a href="#cite_note-89">[86]</a> Cameron gave fellow directors <a href="/wiki/Steven_Spielberg" title="Steven Spielberg">Steven Spielberg</a> and <a href="/wiki/Peter_Jackson" title="Peter Jackson">Peter Jackson</a> a chance to test the new technology.<a href="#cite_note-king-78">[75]</a> Spielberg said, "I like to think of it as digital makeup, not augmented animation ... Motion capture brings the director back to a kind of intimacy that actors and directors only know when they're working in live theater."<a href="#cite_note-ChicagoTribune-88">[85]</a> Spielberg and <a href="/wiki/George_Lucas" title="George Lucas">George Lucas</a> were also able to visit the set to watch Cameron direct with the equipment.<a href="#cite_note-Freaks-90">[87]</a> To film the shots where CGI interacts with live action, a unique camera referred to as a "simulcam" was used, a merger of the 3D fusion camera and the virtual camera systems. While filming live action in real time with the simulcam, the CGI images captured with the virtual camera or designed from scratch, are superimposed over the live action images as in <a href="/wiki/Augmented_reality" title="Augmented reality">augmented reality</a> and shown on a small monitor, making it possible for the director to instruct the actors how to relate to the virtual material in the scene.<a href="#cite_note-makingofavatar-85">[82]</a> Due to Cameron's personal convictions about climate change, he allowed only <a href="/wiki/Plant-based_diet" title="Plant-based diet">plant-based</a> (vegan) food to be served on set.<a href="#cite_note-91">[88]</a> Eventually, Cameron stated that it was Jon Landau who was "the heart of the Avatar family" and "the center of gravity of our little bubble universe."<a href="#cite_note-cameronspeaks-24">[21]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Visual_effects">Visual effects</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Avatarmotioncapture.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="The left image shows the blue cat-like alien Neytiri shouting.

"This is why all these 3-D venues were built: for Avatar. This is the one. The behemoth."<a href="#cite_note-MTV-305">[302]</a> The "cautionary estimate" was that Avatar would bring in around $60 million in its opening weekend. Others guessed higher.<a href="#cite_note-MTV-305">[302]</a><a href="#cite_note-Hollywood_Elsewhere-306">[303]</a> There were also analysts who believed that the film's three-dimensionality would help its box office performance, given that recent 3D films had been successful.<a href="#cite_note-Slate-300">[297]</a> Cameron said he felt the pressure of the predictions, but that pressure is good for film-makers. "It makes us think about our audiences and what the audience wants," he stated. "We owe them a good time. We owe them a piece of good entertainment."<a href="#cite_note-CNN-301">[298]</a> Although he felt Avatar would appeal to everyone and that the film could not afford to have a target <a href="/wiki/Demographics" class="mw-redirect" title="Demographics">demographic</a>,<a href="#cite_note-CNN-301">[298]</a> he especially wanted hard-core science-fiction fans to see it: "If I can just get 'em in the damn theater, the film will act on them in the way it's supposed to, in terms of taking them on an amazing journey and giving them this rich emotional experience."<a href="#cite_note-SciFiWire-307">[304]</a> Cameron was aware of the sentiment that Avatar would need significant "repeat business" just to make up for its budget and achieve box office success, and believed Avatar could inspire the same "sharing" reaction as Titanic. He said that film worked because, "When people have an experience that's very powerful in the movie theatre, they want to go share it. They want to grab their friend and bring them, so that they can enjoy it. They want to be the person to bring them the news that this is something worth having in their life."<a href="#cite_note-CNN-301">[298]</a> After the film's release and unusually strong box office performance over its first two weeks, it was debated as the one film capable of surpassing Titanic's worldwide gross, and its continued strength perplexed box office analysts.<a href="#cite_note-OMG-308">[305]</a> Other films in recent years had been cited as contenders for surpassing Titanic, such as 2008's <a href="/wiki/The_Dark_Knight" title="The Dark Knight">The Dark Knight</a>,<a href="#cite_note-Manolith-309">[306]</a> but Avatar was considered the first film with a genuine chance to do so, and its numbers being aided by higher ticket prices for 3D screenings<a href="#cite_note-OMG-308">[305]</a> did not fully explain its success to box office analysts. "Most films are considered to be healthy if they manage anything less than a 50% drop from their first weekend to their second. Dipping just 11% from the first to the third is unheard of," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office analysis for Hollywood.com. "This is just unprecedented. I had to do a double take. I thought it was a miscalculation."<a href="#cite_note-MarketWatchBreak-310">[307]</a> Analysts predicted second place for the film's worldwide gross, but most were uncertain about it surpassing Titanic because "Today's films flame out much faster than they did when Titanic was released."<a href="#cite_note-MarketWatchBreak-310">[307]</a> Brandon Gray, president of Box Office Mojo, believed in the film's chances of becoming the highest-grossing film of all time, though he also believed it was too early to surmise because it had only played during the holidays. He said, "While Avatar may beat Titanic's record, it will be tough, and the film is unlikely to surpass Titanic in attendance. Ticket prices were about $3 cheaper in the late 1990s."<a href="#cite_note-MarketWatchBreak-310">[307]</a> Cameron said he did not think it was realistic to "try to topple Titanic off its perch" because it "just struck some kind of chord" and there had been other good films in recent years.<a href="#cite_note-MTVTop-311">[308]</a> He changed his prediction by mid-January.

First, January is historically "the dumping ground for the year's weakest films", and this also applied to 2010.<a href="#cite_note-Newsweek-314">[311]</a> Cameron himself said he decided to open the film in December so that it would have less competition from then to January.<a href="#cite_note-CNN-301">[298]</a> Titanic capitalized on the same January predictability, and earned most of its gross in 1998.<a href="#cite_note-Newsweek-314">[311]</a> Additionally, Avatar established itself as a "must-see" event. Gray said, "At this point, people who are going to see Avatar are going to see Avatar and would even if the slate was strong."<a href="#cite_note-Newsweek-314">[311]</a> Marketing the film as a "novelty factor" also helped. Fox positioned the film as a cinematic event that should be seen in the theaters. "It's really hard to sell the idea that you can have the same experience at home," stated David Mumpower, an analyst at BoxOfficeProphets.com.<a href="#cite_note-Newsweek-314">[311]</a> The "<a href="/wiki/Academy_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Academy Award">Oscar</a> buzz" surrounding the film and international viewings helped. "Two-thirds of Titanic's haul was earned overseas, and Avatar [tracked] similarly ...Avatar opened in 106 markets globally and was No. 1 in all of them", and the markets "such as Russia, where Titanic saw modest receipts in 1997 and 1998, are white-hot today" with "more screens and moviegoers" than before.<a href="#cite_note-Newsweek-314">[311]</a> According to <a href="/wiki/Variety_(magazine)" title="Variety (magazine)">Variety</a>, films in 3D accumulated $1.3 billion in 2009, "a threefold increase over 2008 and more than 10% of the total 2009 box-office gross". The increased ticket price – an average of $2 to $3 per ticket in most markets – helped the film.<a href="#cite_note-Newsweek-314">[311]</a> Likewise, Entertainment Weekly attributed the film's success to 3D glasses but also to its "astronomic <a href="/wiki/Word_of_mouth" title="Word of mouth">word-of-mouth</a>". Not only do some theaters charge up to $18.50 for IMAX tickets, but "the buzz" created by the new technology was the possible cause for sold-out screenings.<a href="#cite_note-EW-315">[312]</a> Gray said Avatar having no basis in previously established material makes its performance remarkable and even more impressive. "The movie might be derivative of many movies in its story and themes," he said, "but it had no direct antecedent like the other top-grossing films: Titanic (historical events), the Star Wars movies (an established film franchise), or The Lord of the Rings (literature).

Despite this, he still felt it was a quality film, saying, "A great blockbuster movie can just be a great blockbuster movie without capturing the lunchbox market."<a href="#cite_note-forbes-mendelson-323">[320]</a> He further reflected and reversed his stance in 2022 after the box office success of the re-release, saying, "The very things that made Avatar sometimes feel like a 'forgotten blockbuster' have inspired a skewed renewed nostalgia for its singular existence. It was just a movie, an original auteur-specific movie that prioritized top-shelf filmmaking and clockwork plotting over quotable dialogue and memes."<a href="#cite_note-forbes-mendelson2-330">[326]</a> Some have questioned if there is an audience for the film's planned sequels, believing there to be a lack of interest in the face of the multiple delays of their release dates.<a href="#cite_note-dani-forbes-326">[323]</a><a href="#cite_note-power-telegraph-327">[324]</a><a href="#cite_note-child-guardian-331">[327]</a> Writing for <a href="/wiki/The_Escapist_(magazine)" title="The Escapist (magazine)">The Escapist</a>, Darren Mooney acknowledged that the film had not been broadly remembered in the pop cultural subconscious and had not found a fandom in the same sense as many other popular media, but argued that this was not a negative point, saying, "its defining legacy is the insistence that it lacks a legacy."<a href="#cite_note-mooney-escapist-332">[328]</a> In 2022, in response to the trailer for Avatar's <a href="/wiki/Avatar:_The_Way_of_Water" title="Avatar: The Way of Water">upcoming sequel</a> and <a href="#Post-original_release">the film's re-release</a>, journalists again questioned the cultural relevance of the film, particularly Patrick Ryan of <a href="/wiki/USA_Today" title="USA Today">USA Today</a>, who said the film had "curiously left almost no pop-culture footprint".<a href="#cite_note-ryan-usatoday-333">[329]</a><a href="#cite_note-serrels-cnet-334">[330]</a> In contrast, Bilge Ebiri of <a href="/wiki/Vulture_(website)" title="Vulture (website)">Vulture</a> called others' opinions that the film had left no cultural impact "narrow-minded" and said that the film still held up well.<a href="#cite_note-ebiri-vulture-335">[331]</a> A detailed overview of the Avatar franchise was reported in <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> in December of that year.<a href="#cite_note-NYT-20221201-336">[332]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sequels">Sequels</h2></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Avatar:_The_Way_of_Water" title="Avatar: The Way of Water">Avatar: The Way of Water</a>, <a href="/wiki/Avatar:_Fire_and_Ash" title="Avatar: Fire and Ash">Avatar: Fire and Ash</a>, <a href="/wiki/Avatar_4" title="Avatar 4">Avatar 4</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Avatar_5" class="mw-redirect" title="Avatar 5">Avatar 5</a></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Avatar_(franchise)" title="Avatar (franchise)">Avatar (franchise)</a></div> Avatar's success led to two sequels; this number was subsequently expanded to four.<a href="#cite_note-SequelHistory-337">[333]</a> <a href="/wiki/Avatar:_The_Way_of_Water" title="Avatar: The Way of Water">Avatar: The Way of Water</a> (2022) grossed over $2.3 billion, becoming the <a href="/wiki/2022_in_film#Highest-grossing_films" title="2022 in film">highest-grossing film of 2022</a>,<a href="#cite_note-338">[334]</a> and received a similarly positive critical and audience response.<a href="#cite_note-339">[335]</a> It will be followed by <a href="/wiki/Avatar:_Fire_and_Ash" title="Avatar: Fire and Ash">Avatar: Fire and Ash</a> (2025).
