Avengers: Endgame has officially overtaken Avatar to become the highest-grossing film of all time, raking in $2.925 billion worldwide after a re-release dubbed 'Encore'. The milestone was confirmed by Filmfare on October 6, 2026, just days after the re-release’s global debut saw audiences flock back to cinemas — this time with new scenes added to bridge the gap between Endgame and the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. The film now sits at $2.925 billion, edging past Avatar’s long-standing record of $2.923 billion. No other film in the top ten list is closer than a few million dollars. The re-release wasn’t just a nostalgia play, it was strategic. According to Anthony Russo, one half of the MCU’s creative duo, the extra footage was meant to deepen emotional continuity for fans heading into Doomsday. He called it an effort to honour the audience’s investment. The move follows a year of box office shifts: Toy Story 5 hit $1.14 billion, Spider-Man: Brand New Day crossed $2.5 billion, and Michael. The Jackson biopic, surpassed $1 billion. Yet none could match Endgame’s cultural gravity. And while speculation swirls about whether Doomsday will reclaim the throne, the current numbers suggest Endgame isn’t stepping down anytime soon. The next test? Whether the sequel can carry that momentum forward.
