'Avengers: Endgame', that released about 18 months ago, did wonder at the box office and became the highest grosser movie of all-time with $2.797 billion, in a record time of 3 months due to unprecedented demand that may never again be replicated. However, the time has come for Avengers: Endgame to handover its title of "highest grosser of all-time" to the previous holder, James Cameron's groundbreaking sci-fi epic, "Avatar".

"Avatar", that released in 2009, was the highest grosser movie for almost a decade until "Endgame" took the worldwide box office by storm in 2019. But on Friday, "Avatar" returned to movie theaters in China, which is witnessing a massive boom post-Covid there, and grossed $3.5 million (according to Variety), pushing its total haul to a historic $2.7926 billion. After this weekend, "Avatar" is expected to take back the top box office prize.



Heading into Avatar's re-release this weekend in China, Avengers: Endgame stood at $858.37M domestic, $1.939 billion overseas for a total of $2.797 billion total. Avatar's grosses stood at $760.5M, $2.029 billion foreign, and $2.789 worldwide.

Though "Avatar" was released by 20th Century Fox, Disney now owns the property after the companies merged in 2019. With Disney's acquisition of Fox's film assets, the Walt Disney Company houses eight of the 10-highest grossing movies.

On the other hand, James Cameron has been working busily on the sequels, returning to production last May in New Zealand on part 2 as Covid cases calmed there. Disney has scheduled Avatar 2 for Dec. 16, 2022; part 3 for Dec. 20, 2024; part 4 for Dec. 18, 2026; and part five for Dec. 22, 2028.
