Avengers Endgame vs Avatar Box Office war: Marvel's juggernaut closing in on the record

Marvel's "Avengers: Endgame" is continuing its unprecedented box office run, assembling another USD 145 million at the domestic box office during its second weekend in theatres. "Avengers: Endgame" has surpassed USD 2.188 billion in box office revenues and now stands as the second-biggest movie of all time, just falling behind 2009's Avatar.

Avatar has earned USD 2,788 billion at the box office and 'Avengers: Endgame' is only USD 600 million behind Avatar's record.

The Marvel juggernaut became the fastest film to gross $2 billion globally in just 11 days, crushing "Avatar's" record of 47 days. It has now generated $619 million at the domestic box office and $1.56 billion internationally.

Repeat viewings from comic-book enthusiasts, as well as premium formats like Imax and 3D, have helped box office receipts reach extraordinary heights. Imax theatres have accounted for $170 million of tickets sold across the globe, while just under $1 billion has come from 3D screens. Only two films in history -- "Avatar" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" -- have earned over a billion dollars from the 3D format.
