James Cameron Salutes Avengers: Endgame for Finally Beating Avatar at the Box Office

James Cameron has spoken up about Avengers: Endgame taking down Avatar as the highest grossing movie of all time. This past weekend was an amazing one for Marvel Studios. Kevin Feige announced their upcoming release schedule at San Diego Comic-Con, which included more than a few titles nobody saw coming, including Mahershala Ali headlining a brand-new Blade movie. However, before Feige got into addressing the new titles and cast members, he took a moment to acknowledge the fact that Avengers: Endgame had become the highest grossing movie of all time. As it stands, Endgame is at $2.79 billion.

Comic-Con was the perfect place to be able to announce the news of Avengers: Endgame becoming number one. Avatar director James Cameron released a congratulatory message on social media to the movie and Marvel Studios this morning. "Oel ngati kameie, I see you Marvel - congratulations to Avengers: Endgame on becoming the new box office king," said Cameron's message, which featured some Avatar artwork with Iron Man integrated. "Oel ngati kameie" means "I see you" in the native language of the Na'vi people from the Avatar franchise. Avatar held the previous box office record with $2.78 billion.
