As has been expected over the past few days,
James Cameron’s
Avatar has swapped places with
Avengers: Endgame, reclaiming the title of highest-grossing movie ever worldwide. The
China reissue of the 2009 3D sci-fi phenomenon had taken an estimated RMB 58M ($8.9M) through 5PM local time on Saturday after re-releasing on Friday in the market. This closes and surpasses what was a $7.82M gap between the two films prior to China’s resissue.
Disney/
Marvel’s
Endgame previously
snapped up the top global crown from
Avatar in July 2019. The current (and fluid)
Avatar global total is an estimated $2,798,579,794 versus
Endgame‘s $2,797,501,328.
