Avengers: Endgame regains the title of the highest-grossing film of all time, unadjusted for inflation, after surpassing Avatar’s worldwide total. Multiple outlets report that an additional re-release pushes Endgame just beyond Avatar, ending Avatar’s time at the top.
Forbes and /Film describe the win as driven by a weekend push tied to the film’s reissue, framing it as a headline-changing moment for global box office rankings. Forbes also notes that Endgame has knocked Avatar out of the top spot before, but this outcome again reflects how re-releases can alter lifetime totals. Times of India adds that while Endgame’s domestic ranking drops to seventh place, the additional global earnings are enough to reclaim the overall crown. The outlets also point to Marvel Studios acknowledging fan support as the milestone is reached.
