The re-release of Avengers: Endgame has failed to knock Avatar from the top spot as the world’s highest-grossing movie of all time.
The weekend saw the re-release of the MCU’s biggest event to date, with an additional 18 seconds of footage provided in the form of a deleted scene focused on Hulk. But while the re-release earned $5.5 million at the US box office and another $2.3 million worldwide, it’s not enough to overtake Avatar’s monumental income.
Currently, Avengers: Endgame stands at $2.76 billion. Avatar stands approximately $27 million ahead of it, with $2.78 billion grossed during its original theatrical release and re-releases.
As detailed by The Hollywood Reporter, box office insiders suggest that it is impossible for Avengers: Endgame to make that extra $27 million in the “immediate future”. And with Spider-Man: Far From Home releasing this week, MCU fans are likely to be turning their attention to the webslinger rather than his avenging pals.
