“Avengers: Endgame” is once again the highest-grossing movie in box office history, reclaiming the title from “Avatar.” Two blockbusters have passed the crown back and forth over the years as they’ve returned to theaters for various engagements.

With Disney’s recent “Avengers: Endgame” theatrical re-release, the 2019 superhero epic has grossed $2.925 billion worldwide. That’s just above 2009’s “Avatar,” which has generated $2.923 billion globally after five re-releases.
