Avengers: Endgame was the highest-grossing movie ever at the box office once upon a time. That title was taken from it by Avatar when James Cameron’s blockbuster was re-released for its tenth anniversary. Well, Avatar has now been given a taste of its own medicine, as Endgame is back on top.

Endgame was re-released in theaters two weeks ago under a tweaked name - Avengers Endgame: Encore. That re-release has made $126 million at the box office and counting, and that’s enough to put it back above Avatar in the all-time global box office rankings, as recorded by Box Office Mojo.

Endgame’s new, still-rising total is $2.925 billion, just $2 million more than the $2.923 billion Avatar is now on after its second theatrical run a few years ago. Endgame will open that gap up a little more by the time it leaves theaters again, likely later this month, but it has already done enough to once again become the biggest movie in history.

As was the case with Avatar’s re-release in 2022, Endgame: Encore has been visually improved and includes new footage. That footage is, arguably, more important than the new scenes added to Avatar, as the whole point of their inclusion is to better tie the last Avengers movie to Avengers: Doomsday, which is now less than three months away.

The next part of this article details the scenes added to Endgame: Encore.

There are three scenes in Endgame: Encore that were added to bridge the gap between it and Doomsday.
