Avengers: Endgame reclaims highest-grossing film title after Encore re-release

moviesOct 4, 202620333

Avengers: Endgame has reclaimed the all-time unadjusted global box-office crown after the Encore re-release pushed its lifetime gross to $2.925 billion, surpassing Avatar's $2,923,710,708. The Encore run was timed to build hype for December's Avengers: Doomsday and included promised exclusive new footage, with the Russo Brothers labeling Endgame required viewing before Doomsday. Endgame originally opened to about $1.2 billion worldwide in 2019 and had previously overtaken Avatar with a $2.79 billion total before Avatar briefly regained the top spot after a re-release. Both Endgame and Avatar have held the number one position twice, and Disney now controls both titles following its 2019 acquisition of Fox. James Cameron publicly congratulated Endgame when it first beat Avatar, and the articles note Avatar could retake the crown if Disney mounts another global re-release around its anniversary. For now, Endgame stands as the highest-grossing movie ever, unadjusted for inflation.

Until Avatar rereleases which will cause Endgame to rerelease which will cause Avatar to rerelease in an endless cycle of Disney making more and more money.

does no one think it's fucking weird to see disney compete with itself for the highest grossing movie spot for like 10 years now

It happened…again. Well to be fair, Endgame did surpassed Avatar on its initial release, and then Avatar reclaimed bc of its China re-release, and now Endgame’s re-release reclaimed it. You know the more they re-releases, the more they stay the same.

A film's PS5-port-of-The-Last-of-Us rerelease shouldn't count towards its total box-office gross

People saying "No, this shouldn't count because of the re-release!" Do you understand Avatar only retook the crown from Endgame because of its re-release? Or that the true-adjusted-for-inflation record holder Gone With the Wind was re-release in theatres a half-dozen times?

Like Mariah Carey’s temporarily dethroned title as longest running #1 single, this represents a fundamental error in how records are counted. Rereleases and cyclic short chart runs measure different things than what had the most absolute hold of the zeitgeist, which is the actual interesting thing.

I’m laughing about the Russos making a movie without a script and then spending so much time promoting Avengers: Endgame Encore and giving annoying interviews instead of making Secret Wars that now Disney is postponing shooting it to next year lol, EYES ON THE BALL GUYS!

Just caught an encore screening of Avengers Endgame Y'all, they added a new post credits screen where Mark Ruffalo is talking into a camcorder and then he pretends to be scared of an off screen Doom. I'm pretty sure they threw that whole thing together on a Saturday afternoon

(This is NOT traditional review post) It was an absolute thrill getting to see Avengers Endgame again last weekend, only this time on the big screen! I won't DARE spoil the new footage, but let me tell you, we're all in for a treat! It was also a great chance to dress up as Doom!

Yes I know they're both Disney, but still, haha. I don't even root specifically for Endgame to get this spot, I just don't want it to be Avatar.

Wow, Marvel. Biggest drop ever. AVENGERS ENDGAME: ENCORE fell -83% its 2nd box office mission, delivering just $4.4M, $36M total. Folks, this is worse than THE MARVELS...

Went to see Avengers Endgame Encore and the extra footage they said you absolutely have to see to understand Doomsday is just Jeremy Renner shouting “babe? babe?!” for four minutes after The Snap

I did and it was amazing! I actually did a double movie weekend with this and Avengers: Endgame - Encore and both were fantastic! And hey, there’s still the possibility of Forgotten Island becoming a sleeper hit like Pixar’s Elemental.
