GES Events’ creative team worked closely with Lightstorm Entertainment and FoxNext to create an exhibition as authentic and groundbreaking as James Cameron’s remarkable 2009 film AVATAR. The Hungarian event was created with the collaboration of TulipánTündér Production, which has been the organizer of many exhibitions and the biggest stage productions in Hungary. Released in 2009, James Cameron’s AVATAR is the highest-grossing film in motion picture history, with a box office gross of nearly USD 2.8 billion. Mesmerizing all ages across the globe with its otherworldly visuals and groundbreaking special effects, the film quickly became a worldwide phenomenon so popular it will be followed by four sequels, with the first sequel due for release on December 18, 2020. AVATAR was named best picture at the Golden Globe Awards and won numerous Academy Awards®.
