GoKawiilAvengers: Endgame reclaims title of highest-grossing film from Avatar
A theatrical re-release of Avengers: Endgame has pushed it past Avatar to become the highest-grossing film of all time, generating over $126 million worldwide in its latest run. Disney says the Marvel Cinematic Universe's 38 films have now earned more than $35 billion combined, and that Disney titles occupy seven of the top 10 highest-grossing films ever. Separately, Coyote vs. Acme topped Apple TV's rental charts in the US and Canada after its Tuesday streaming release, holding a 96% Rotten Tomatoes critics' score.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The shifting box-office crown shows how studios can use targeted re-releases to reclaim records and generate fresh revenue from older franchises, a tactic Disney has used before with both Avatar and Endgame. Disney's consolidation of former 20th Century Fox properties means it now effectively competes against its own past acquisitions for these milestones. Coyote vs. Acme's strong streaming debut, despite Warner Bros. once shelving the film entirely, suggests studios may be leaving money on the table when they bury completed projects for tax purposes.
