Congrats to Disney and Marvel on owning the highest grossing film of all time! Never doubt Disney because they always w


Avengers: Endgame
Domestic: $854,216,193 30.6%
+ Foreign: $1,936,000,000 69.4%
= Worldwide: $2,790,216,193

It was only a matter of time but they did it. Totally well deserved for one of the best comicbook movies ever created. Disney and Marvel are simply on another level. While other studios struggle to find new blockbusters or make sequels that people actually want to watch, Disney on the other hand continue to expand and create exciting projects that capture the masses and this is the result. We are truly living in the golden age of Cinema. Congratulations Disney and Marvel!

Cameron going to have to do another one of those 'Congrats' pictures this time with Avatar

Oh wow that's great. I love the friendly congratulation nods that other studios and directors give to each other when breaking box office records. The only problem is Disney literally took all the records now LOL.

But... but... adjusted for inflation and stuff. XD
(Yawn)

Wow tho. What Marvel & Disney have done with this franchise is unprecedented and it’s unlikely anything will come close to what they’ve accomplished anytime soon (if ever). Bravo!

P.S. the detractors obviously failed

Incoming Avatar cinematic universe to dethrone the MCU haha. Honestly I don't see anything coming close again for another 10 years with the next saga concluding unless Avatar 2 has every possible star aligned to come out on top.

Do you own a financial stake in Disney?

Otherwise, I’m not sure why you’re so juiced about a corporate monolith making money.

reply

The always vocal anti-capitalist Twitter mob sure fell hook, line, and sinker for this didn't they? I'm going to buy as many Marvel movie tickets as possible that'll show those manbabies!

reply

I'm happy about it too, but Disney owns the Avatar property now too so even if Endgame wasn't the highest grossing film, Disney would still have the highest grossing film under their ownership.

reply

Yeah, it's all in the hands of the Disney at the end of the day on what they want to do.

latest theory - Avatar will snatch back the title between now and Avatar 2:

bear in mind dec 2019 is the 10th anniversary of Avatar..maybe time for a re-issue..?

reply

It is because some people are butthurt and keep downplaying the importance of the event. They keep saying over and over that it will only last until Disney re-release Avatar to use the highest grossing film as a marketing campaign for Avatar 2. This could be true, but at the end who cares? The reality of this is that by today A COMIC BOOK MOVIE, A MARVEL ONE, IS THE HIGHEST GROSSING FILM OF ALL TIME, EVEN IF IT IS ONLY FOR TWO DAYS OR TWO YEARS. It doesn't matter. The other studios, mainly DC/WB would sell their souls to be able to say that. It is a great accomplishment, it doesn't matter if it is short lived (as they wish for).

reply

Yeah, it's possible that they do but it doesn't take away what Marvel was able to accomplish and all the hard work they put in over a decades worth of work. Other studios still struggle to replicate their strategy with the vision and execution they have and I'm excited to see where the future leads for future Marvel projects.

I used to like Disney until they started to support abortion.

reply

So they’re losing their regressive and pretty much fascist fanbase. GOOD.

Clearly it’s not a huge loss at all.
