Avengers Endgame Overtakes Avatar Again for Top Global Box Office Spot
Disney re-released Avengers Endgame to reclaim the top spot on the global box office chart from Avatar.
Endgame Reclaims Number One Position
The Marvel film collected $4.4 million in its second weekend of theatrical run. This revenue pushed the total worldwide gross to $2.9255 billion. The figure now exceeds Avatar's total by a margin of roughly $1.8 million.
Marketing Push for Upcoming Sequel
Studio executives stated the re-release aims to build excitement for Avengers Doomsday. That new movie is scheduled to hit cinemas on December 18. David Gross of FranchiseRe noted that such re-releases rarely earn more than $10 million.
Historical Context of Box Office Records
Avatar held the record for a decade before Endgame surpassed it in 2019. The James Cameron film regained the title in 2021 after its own re-release. Disney now owns seven of the ten highest-grossing movies ever.
