Avengers: Endgame Beats Avatar to Become the Highest-Grossing Movie of All Time (Again)

Marvel Studios' Encore re-release has helped Avengers: Endgame beat Avatar to become the highest-grossing movie at the box office of all time…again.

Despite not cracking the top five earners for this weekend's box office returns, Avengers: Endgame Encore managed to scrounge together enough cash to reach a total of $2.9255 billion worldwide. It's a number that essentially puts it just a few bucks over Avatar's standing total of $2.9237 billion, securing the Marvel movie's place as the movie to make the most in theaters.

Considering the Infinity Saga-ending team-up movie first premiered in 2019, you can probably guess that re-releases did a lot of the lifting to help it reach the number it has today. Endgame first passed Avatar when it passed $2.79 billion back in July 2019, just a few months after its initial release date. It was a milestone even director James Cameron celebrated at the time, but Marvel didn't wear the crown for long.

Thank you for assembling to make Avengers: Endgame the biggest movie of all time. We love you 3000. https://t.co/eZFbN1x724

An Avatar re-release from 2021 saw Cameron's sci-fi epic reclaim victory when its total reached more than $2.81 billion. With one re-release already under its belt, it's last weekend's Encore – which attracted a staggering $86 million in its debut – that helped it take the top spot again.

It wasn't all wins for heroes like Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, though. Endgame's new place amongst the rankings marks a narrow victory and landed it in seventh place at the domestic box office for the weekend.
