Even though it’s exciting to see a fan-favorite movie like Avatar on the big screen again, the re-release could actually have huge effects on the box office. When Avengers: Endgame premiered, it scored the spot as the highest-grossing movie ever. But, Avatar coming back to theaters could bump the Marvel movie to second place as the film reclaims this title.

Avengers: Endgame grossed over $2.797 billion with Avatar close behind at $2.790 billion. So, the film would only need to make $7.4 million to secure the spot once again as the highest-grossing box office movie ever! Last March, China’s Film Bureau wanted to re-release the popular film. Yet, the pandemic caused to movie’s return to theaters to be delayed until now as the digital cinema packages (DCPs) had already been completed last year.
