James Cameron is no longer the king of the box office. After nearly a decade, “Avatar” has been replaced by “Avengers: Endgame” on the list of the highest grossing movies ever released (unadjusted for inflation). On its 13th weekend in theaters, “Endgame” hit the $2.790 billion mark at the global box office to claim the record. “Avatar” spent the last decade in the top spot with $2.789 billion.
“Endgame” directors Joe and Anthony Russo celebrated the milestone box office achievement by taking some time on social media to send a special thank you to Cameron. While many fans turned the box office race into a contentious battle between “Endgame” and Cameron films “Titanic” and “Avatar,” there’s been nothing but love between Cameron and the filmmaking dup behind Marvel’s biggest hit.
“James Cameron, you’re a monumental reason why we fell in love with film in the first place,” Joe and Anthony wrote in a note.
