James Cameron's science-fiction blockbuster 'Avatar' is poised to return to the top of the all-time movie box office charts this weekend after the film was re-released in China.

LOS ANGELES - James Cameron’s science-fiction blockbuster “Avatar” is poised to return to the top of the all-time movie box office charts this weekend after the film was re-released in China.

“Avatar,” which debuted in 2009, held the global box office title for a decade until it was overtaken by Marvel superhero epic “Avengers: Endgame” in 2019. On Friday, Cameron’s film rung up an estimated $3.5 million in new ticket sales after it was re-released in China, where moviegoing has rebounded following theater closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

That put “Avatar” just shy of the $2.798 billion worldwide total collected by “Endgame,” according to distributor Walt Disney Co. Both films are now owned by Disney after the company bought entertainment assets from Fox in 2019. Cameron has been working on four sequels to “Avatar.” The next film, which has been delayed several times, is currently scheduled for release in December 2022.

We really don’t go to the movies anymore.

Phew - I was really worried rich folks wouldn't find a way to make more money.

never watched never will

Fk China.

This sounds like cheating

There are a lot of ignorant people in the comments, so easily misled by the title. Ten years ago, Avatar was shown simultaneously in China, with a box office of 200 million US dollars.

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about DennisWilliam56 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

Re-release movies in a 1.4 billion strong country where COVID is under control and cinemas have reopened. Profit.

They’re gonna release Endgame again next year in some sort of space movie space race, aren’t they?

I hope he finally addressed Pypiras

Did they remaster so that the only way to save the world tree is to sterilize Uhygars?

Avatar is better than Fate of the Avengers or whatever the hell has the current record.

Finally, been waiting for another film.

Marvel will do this shit with Endgame if they make Avengers 5

Avatar? Jesus, how many hrs did we set the clock back?

wait---they aren't offended by the white dude playing Aang?

Love how these filmmakers will coddle up to anyone to make a buck.
