James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ has finally snatched back the title of the highest-grossing film of all time from ‘Avengers: Endgame’.
Thanks to a re-release of Cameron’s 2009 offering in China on Friday, and etching up $12.3 million in only 2 days, the coveted title was overtaken from Marvel’s action-adventure. To be fair, it only needed a mere $7 million to edge back into the top spot.
To date, ‘Avatar’ has made a staggering $2.802 billion worldwide. The property is now owned by Disney after the acquisition of the entertainment assets from Fox.
