Director James Cameron is no longer the reigning box office champion. But, he passes the baton over to the Russo brothers with grace.
Over the weekend, Avengers: Endgame officially dethroned Avatar (2009) to become the biggest movie in history. For a decade, Cameron's dazzling sci-fi epic held the top spot with $2.7897 billion in global ticket sales, but Disney and Marvel's superhero mashup inched by, with $2.7902 billion to claim the throne.
