Avengers: Endgame Highest Grossing Film of All Time

It's official. Marvel's Avengers: Endgame is now the highest-grossing film of all time. The film has now reached $2.79 billion, just beating out "Avatar"'s $2.789 billion. This amount, however, doesn't take inflation into account.

Kevin Feige spoke about the imminent breaking of the record last night at Comic-Con, saying, "You have to shout-out to Mr. James Cameron, who held that title for a long time.

Directors Joe and Anthony Russo also commented on the news via Twitter, saying, "To the greatest fans in the universe, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you…"
