It looked like it’s not there but the battle between Avengers: Endgame (2019) and Avatar (2009) is still on. The Russo Brothers directed mega superhero film released in April 2019 and broke almost all the worldwide records except the one of Avatar. However, when it re-released at the box office in July, it surpassed the benchmark of $2.78 billion to become the worldwide top-grossing Hollywood film of all time.
However, the throne has now been taken over by James Cameron’s Avatar again. The film, re-released in China and crossed Avengers: Endgame’s total of $2.79 billion. The current business of the 2009 film stands at $2.80 billion and hence it has made all the fans on social media jump with joy.

Not just fans, even the Avengers: Endgame directors, Russo Brothers took to Twitter and congratulated the Avatar team for the feat. Sharing a beautiful art of Avatar taking over Avengers, the filmmaker duo wrote, “Passing the gauntlet back to you… @JimCameron Thanks for the beautiful art @bosslogic.”
Director of Guardians of the Galaxy films and executive producer of Endgame, James Gunn also congratulated the makers of Avatar. He wrote, “Well it was fun while it lasted, but I am no longer an Executive Producer of the biggest grossing film of all time. Congrats to James Cameron & the #Avatar team! (And of course @zoesaldana, who is in kind of a no lose situation here).”

He also wrote, “Btw I wish movies were re-released more often – there is no better way to see a film than in a theater, & wouldn’t many of us love to see some of the favorites we only know from a TV on the big screen?”

Despite what reports are saying, I refuse to believe that Avatar is back as the highest grossing film of all time. Avengers endgame all the way! It will never be beaten. Ever. #AvengersEndgame#Avatar#Marvel
