'Avengers: Endgame' surpasses 'Avatar' as No. 1 grossing film of all time.
Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, told a packed audience at San Diego Comic-Con's Hall H that"Avengers: Endgame" had officially passed"Avatar" to become the top grossing movie of all time with this weekend's ticket sales.
"Avengers: Endgame" will take in an estimated $1.28 million domestic total this weekend, according to Deadline, which will easily push it past the mark set by"Avatar" when it was released in December 2009. The film took in $2.778 billion in its worldwide run. "Avengers: Endgame" got a boost when it was re-released in theaters in late June after it initially premiered on April 26. The film wrapped up many of the storylines from the first three films -- featuring an assemblage of many of Marvel Comics' biggest superheroes -- and marked the final appearances of many long-time franchise stars.
Despite a long layoff, director James Cameron will bring two sequels to the"Avatar" universe in 2021 and 2023, released by 20th Century Fox.
