Even after re-release, ‘Avengers: Endgame’ earnings not enough to dethrone ‘Avatar’

Washington: Marvel’s mightiest heroes are still doing everything they can to beat the box office record of ‘Avatar’.
Marvel and parent company Disney, determined to surpass the box office collection of ‘Avatar’, brought ‘Avengers: Endgame’ back to multiplexes, enticing moviegoers with additional content and deleted scenes that didn’t make it into the initial three-hour movie.
The re-released film has nearly 18 seconds of additional footage. The ‘Avengers: Endgame’ rerelease even includes a promo for the upcoming ‘Spider-Man: Far Frome Home’ and also included a video introduction from director Anthony Russo.
However, the film’s re-release hasn’t minted enough so far to dethrone James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’.
The Marvel superhero flick, directed by the Russo brothers, earned another USD 5.5 million domestically (it placed No. 7 on the weekend) and USD 2.3 million overseas for a revised worldwide total of USD 2.76 billion, reported The Hollywood Reporter.
The total of the film is roughly USD 27 million shy of the USD 2.78 billion earned by ‘Avatar’ in its original run and subsequent rereleases.
