A re-release of Avengers: Endgame met Marvel's expectations, as the film once again became the highest-grossing movie in history, surpassing Avatar. How Endgame managed to reclaim the top spot is reported by infohub.kz.
After the new run, Avengers: Endgame's global box office reached $2.925 billion, Variety reports. Avatar now sits in second place with $2.923 billion, thanks to its original release and five subsequent returns to theaters.
Avengers: Endgame first topped the highest-grossing films list in 2019. In 2021, the 2009 film Avatar reclaimed the top spot after a re-release ahead of the debut of Avatar: The Way of Water. Now Marvel has once again overtaken James Cameron's film. The re-release of Avengers: Endgame brought in over $126 million worldwide.
Disney and Marvel brought the film back to theaters ahead of the release of Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for December. Endgame concluded Marvel's first major storyline and united heroes from 21 films released over a decade.
Doomsday is expected to be one of the year's biggest releases. Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo have returned to work on the new film.
