Endgame Re-Release Pushes Past Avatar for Box Office Lead
17 Oct
Summary
- Avatar and Endgame are in a box office battle for the top spot.
- Endgame's encore re-release earned $11.2 million on its opening Friday.
- Avatar's total international box office stands at $2.924 billion.
James Cameron has again congratulated "Avengers: Endgame" for surpassing "Avatar" at the global box office. This latest exchange sees "Endgame," following its "Encore" re-release on September 25, achieve a total of $2.9255 billion, slightly ahead of "Avatar's" $2.924 billion. The "Endgame Encore", which included new footage, opened with $11.2 million from 3,060 locations.
This is not the first time the two films have vied for the top spot. In July 2019, "Endgame" initially overtook "Avatar," only for Cameron's film to reclaim the title with its 2021 re-release. The latest "Endgame Encore" release occurred amidst a weekend of new film releases, some of which faced uncertain futures despite positive receptions.
