“Avengers: Endgame,” the concluding chapter in a Marvel superhero saga from Walt Disney Co., toppled James Cameron’s “Avatar” to become the highest-grossing film of all time.
Disney rereleased the film with new footage in late June for a final push as “Endgame” closed in on the record. It has now taken in an estimated $2.7902 billion in theaters worldwide as of Sunday, the company said, ahead of the $2.7897 billion accumulated by “Avatar” a decade ago.
