Avengers Endgame box office is THIS close to breaking Avatar’s biggest movie EVER record

After a colossal opening, Avengers Endgame’s box office dominance has been waning in recent weeks. Having opened at the end of April, the Marvel epic has had to fight competition in movies like Detective Pikachu and John Wick 3. Nevertheless, the blockbuster is edging ever closer to Avatar’s record as the biggest movie of all time. And boy is Avengers Endgame almost there.

Following this weekend’s box office takings, Avengers Endgame has now made $2,730,565,940 worldwide, compared to Avatar’s $2,787,965,087.

This means the Marvel epic is only $58 million away from topping James Cameron’s 3D extravaganza.

Of course, Avengers Endgame has already topped Titanic, but taking into account inflation, Cameron’s other biggest movie technically made a lot more money.

Inflation aside, Forbes reckon Endgame’s chances of actually topping Avatar and becoming the No 1 movie of all time is a “coin-toss”.

Adjusted for inflation, Avengers Endgame’s $2.7 billion is still a long way away from matching 1997’s Titanic and 2009’s Avatar.

Titanic really made around $3.099 billion, while Avatar’s equivalent is $3.273 billion.

Even so the latter isn’t the biggest film of all time with inflation taken into account.

That would be 1939’s Gone with the Wind on $3.728 billion, a feat that will probably never be topped considering today’s battle with online piracy.
