Marvel’s Avengers: EndGame Beats Avatar to Be Highest Grossing Movie of All Time, Russo Brothers Thanks ‘The Greatest Fans in the Universe’
Avengers: EndGame is the 22nd film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is the culmination of the 21 movies that came before. Along with Infinity War, it is the only two Marvel movies to make more than $2 billion at the global box office.
So after days of 'Will it, Won't it?' and a re-release with additional footage, Avengers: EndGame has finally managed to beat Avatar's box office collections. By doing so, Avengers: EndGame has become the highest-grossing movie of all time at the global box office. As per Deadline, Avengers: EndGame may not have crossed the collections of Avatar just as yet. It is still short by 500k which EndGame is expected to cross within the next 24 hours. Currently, Avengers: EndGame's box office numbers are pegged at $2.789 billion.

And it is going to a record not going to be toppled soon, unless James Cameron's Avatar 2, that's coming out in 2020, or even Star Wars: The Rise of the Skywalker, have their own plans to do so.
After Deadline shared the story, EndGame directors, Anthony and Joe Russo, have tweeted the story and thanked 'the greatest fans in the universe' for making it happen. Avengers: EndGame Re-Release: Fans Are Disappointed With New ‘Content’ Marvel Has to Offer; Can It Beat Avatar at the Box Office?
