There is no need introduction required for the Avatar movie. The movie was the highest grosser in the world until 2019. Avatar was released in 2009 and was the biggest hit in the decade, with a gross of $702 million. The 2009 Sci-fi movie was unbeaten until the Avengers: End Game in 2019. End Game from Marvel/Disney in 2019 became the highest-grossing movie with 2.79 billion USD. Now, this title is back with the Avatar movie after the rerelease in China.
The movie has now reached a total of $2.80 billion after the rerelease. The movie in 2009 has crossed the Titanic from the same director James Cameron. Avatar was released in China on March 12th, 2021. After the pandemic, the theaters are being reopened slowly and having some of the old hits are bringing the fans back to the theaters.
This news is reported by Deadline regarding the collections of Avatar. The movie might be from different directors and casts, but still, the name remains with Disney. The movie Avatar is from 20th-century fox, which Disney now acquired in 2019. So the movies, including Avatar, will be under Disney. And the second movie is the Avengers: End Game which is also a part of Disney and Marvel.
There is still a chance for the End Game to take the crown as Disney plans to release some of the Marvel movies as part of the marathon or fan events. This is due to the new releases coming up from Marvel/Disney. The theaters in the US are still waiting to reopen, and before the major releases, they might have these old hits. So this means that Disney might get End Game back to the first position after US theaters are open.
Whoever might be the top grosser, the real winner is Walt Disney having both the two movies under its name.
