Cameron's films have pulled in over $10 billion, and he holds the record for directing the only three movies to each cross $2 billion worldwide.

## Bio

Born in Ontario in 1954, Cameron moved to California at 17 and started in community college before breaking through with The Terminator in 1984, a low-budget thriller that made him a name to watch. He followed with Aliens, The Abyss, Terminator 2, and True Lies through the early '90s, each pushing visual effects further. Then came Titanic in 1997—a production so troubled it became industry legend, until it swept the Oscars and became the first film to gross over $1 billion. Twelve years later Avatar did it again, this time past $2 billion, inventing new 3D camera systems along the way. Between blockbusters he's dived to the deepest point in the ocean, solo, in a submersible he helped design, and produced deep-sea documentaries as a National Geographic explorer. Avatar: The Way of Water followed in 2022, clearing $2 billion again and cementing him as the only director with three films at that altitude.
