It took more than 40 years. Although, 3D movies have been released in various forms since 1950s, the technology only reached on its maturity in the 2009 block-buster Avatar, for which audiences were willing to pay a premium to enjoy amazing 3D effects on the big silver screen. Avatar went on to become the first film to earn more than US$2 billion worldwide, with the higher ticket prices of the 3D version contributing significantly to that bottom line.
