$2.79B, Avenger Endgame Overtakes Avatar As Highest Grossing Movie In History by Explorers(m): 7:42pm On Jul 23, 2019
Ten years after securing the world record, James Cameron’s sci-fi epic Avatar (2009) has finally been unseated as the highest grossing movie of all time, thanks to a team of blockbusting superheroes.



Avengers Endgame, (2019) had grossed $2,790,216,193 at the global box office as at 21 July, a comfortable $500,000 ahead of Avatar’s $2,789,705,275.

Avatar had reigned for nearly ten years as the world’s biggest movie, and fought off stiff competition from the likes of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Jurassic World (2015) to hold on to its crown.

Released in April, Avengers remained in some 1,400 U.S. theaters over the weekend.

On Friday, Avengers was just $500,000 short of the record, and the film's official take was not yet clear on Saturday until weekend box office receipts are tallied.

Maybe Avatar 2 will retake the number one spot. Still being expected though. I just hope it doesn't flop like Alita

I just love the movie,a movie I can watch a hundred times without getting tired.I am amazed by the power Thanos possesses while wearing the infinity gauntlet.A real monster of a villain...He can easily be adjudged the best villain ever in marvel cinematic universe.

I wonder what a fight between Thanos and Dc's superman will look like.

Flop for where?
That sequel has been building up for many years now. The technology needed to make the movie wasn't ready at first,so it delayed stuffs. James Cameron is known for his 'sci-fi' movie tech and out of the world visuals and 3D effects. Avatar 2's many scenes where shot in the Mariana Trench. Expect an underwater world filled with rich colours, diverse ocean life and an intriguing story line. To cap it all,Avatars 2,3 and 4 are now being produced concurrently. So fewer months between release dates.

I'm sure his sequels will beat Avengers Endgame record

James Cameron waited too long to release Avatar 2.

BUT he's The Man and can't be rushed.

I remember how Terminator: Judgement Day blew everyone away....

He then followed up with Titanic, then Avatar.

Alita was almost being released the same time with avatar. The technology for alita wasn't even available just like avatar, at the the time the story was written. It took many years to get alita done. But when it finally came out, it wasn't received like avatar. It isn't about how long it takes sometimes.

I wonder what the story line of avatar 2 will be about. Avatar one finished well and completely. James cameron is very creative and story twisting. Let's just wait and see.

Alita is almost synonymous with Real Steel(a robot-fighting movie) or even some Cyborg movies. That Alita movie tech and the storyline is not new to theatre,Avatar brought something new to the table such as alien habitats and its exploitation, exobiology, human interaction with aliens,greed for mineral resources and a deep deep symbiotic relationship among alien flora and fauna, some sort of eco-balance. The movie's theme resonated with everyone at that time. You could feel a connection to the movies ideals on a deep personal level,much like Black Panther in that regard. Unless humans are still not humans,then the sequels wont resonate with us.

That's one of the main reasons the move even earned that much in first instance. It even one of the first major movies released in 3D. But the thing is, there couldn't be any groundbreaking visual effects in the new one that we haven't seen something similar to in movies released in the past 2 or 3 years.
And besides, don't forget we're talking about two movies decades apart. Most of the primary characters are no longer as relevant as they used to be in the industry (with the exception of Saldana and probably, Michelle Rodriguez)

Nice analysis.
The greatest threat to avatar 2 is TIME...too much time passed between Avatar and its sequel and humans have short memories. The characters should be OK. Jake Sulley(the main avatar actor) still works in the industry. I saw his 'The Titan' movie recently and its not so bad. The actresses should be fine. Most, if not all the cast will be in avatar form, not human.

I predicted this last year that avengers end game will be the highest grossing movie of 2019 and possibly of all time.

I was right.

Lol Last year.

armadeo:


Thanos had a point. Resources weren't enough so he had to reduce population. That's logical but unethical.

He was the most powerful being in the universe meaning he was a "god". Even thor had a hard time with him minus his hammer.

I enjoyed infinity war it was the climax of MCU. I want to say this that end game will ne the highest grossing movie of 2019 possibly of all time.

Watch and see.

Oopssy.... Too bad.
For you to watch Avengers: End Game now, you will need to watch Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, The Avengers, Agents Of Shield (Optional), Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 and 2, Winter Soldier, The Dark World, Ant Man, Doctor Strange, Civil War, Spider Man, Black Panther, Infinity Wars, Ragnarok, Home Coming, Captain Marvel, and then End Game.

You may want to watch Far From Home and Black Widow too.





Regardless of your 'kind of movies', these movies will blow your mind.
