Disney’s presentation of Marvel’s “Avengers: Endgame” has officially surpassed “Avatar” to become the world’s highest-grossing film of all time, several months after the film obliterated opening weekend records. From a report: The feat underscores Disney’s position as the king of the box office. Disney has had the top grossing movie every year since 2012 and been the top grossing studio since 2016. Disney has reported an estimated $2,790.2 million in revenue through Sunday for “Avengers: Endgame,” per Comscore. James Cameron’s 2009 science fiction film “Avatar” had previously held the top spot of the highest grossing global release of all time with $2,789.7 million. Disney’s success can largely be attributed to the three franchises that it has cultivated or acquired over the past few years: Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars.
