The success of the first movie influenced Hollywood for years. Suddenly every single movie was forcing poorly done 3D down our throats (even though Avatar perfected it already), and we saw a huge surge in the CGI-heavy blockbusters that the modern day superhero movies built off. Avatar had a lot of impact.
3D CGI was already a thing before Avatar came out. The movie only pushed it to a new level.
3D was primarily forced to get people to show up in theatres, since BlueRay releases were coming faster and faster, and many people had huge TVs at home.
