Disney/Marvel's 'Avengers: Endgame' Beats 'Avatar' as Top-Grossing Film, 'Coyote vs Acme' #1 on Apple TV
James Cameron's Avatar is no longer the highest-grossing movie in box office history. That honor now goes to the Disney/Marvel Studios film Avengers: Endgame.

After decades of holding the top spot, James Cameron's Avatar has been dethroned as the highest-grossing film of all time. The Disney/Marvel Studios movie Avengers: Endgame now holds that distinction, having surpassed Avatar during its 2019 initial run in theaters. However, Avatar did manage to reclaim the No. 2 position on the all-time charts when it re-released in 2021 ahead of Avatar: The Way of Water.
Despite this change in ranking, Disney is rejoicing as their Marvel Cinematic Universe films have collectively generated over $35 billion worldwide, making it the most successful franchise ever. This includes hits like Titanic, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the previous Avengers: Infinity War. Interestingly, Coyote vs. Acme, a new release available for rent or purchase on streaming platforms, has emerged as the top-watched movie in the Apple TV store for both America and Canada.
With a Rotten Tomatoes score of 96% and a similar 94% Verified Hot Popcornmeter score, the film is receiving high praise. Preorders for its DVD and 4K disks have also started, along with the release of Blu-ray and some amusing outtakes.
