Avengers: Endgame's Re-Release Not Enough To Dethrone Avatar

Avengers: Endgame returned to theatres this weekend with bonus footage, but it still hasn't passed Avatar as the biggest box office smash of all time--and it may never.

That's according to "box office insiders" who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the matter. The re-release pulled in $5.5 million in the US and Canada this weekend and a further $2.3 million from overseas markets. In total, Endgame has now made $2.76 billion worldwide. That's about $27 million short of Avatar's $2.78 billion record.

The box office insiders told THR that Endgame will not surpass Avatar in the immediate future, if ever. The suggestion there is that it's theoretically possible the movie will be re-released again down the road, though nothing is confirmed. After all, Avatar was re-released after it initially premiered, and that second run helped it make $33 million more.

Endgame returned to theatres not only in an attempt to catch up to Avatar's box office record, but also as a tie-in to Spider-Man: Far From Home. That film, which opens this week, deals directly with the events of Endgame.

Avatar recently became a Disney property when Disney acquired the majority of Fox's entertainment assets. In fact, Disney owns 6 of the top 10 highest grossing movies ever globally. The top 10 list is below.

  1. Avatar -- $2.78 billion
  2. Avengers: Endgame -- $2.76 billion
  3. Titanic -- $2.18 billion
  4. Star Wars: The Force Awakens -- $2.068 billion

Kenny Omega's AEW Dynamite Entrance Is A Love Letter To Undertale

It's no secret that professional wrestler and executive vice-president of All Elite Wrestling Kenny Omega loves video games. And on the October 30 episode of TNT's weekly wrestling show, AEW Dynamite, Omega showed off his love for Undertale . Before he entered the ring, his video package played a 16-bit cutscene that was very reminiscent of the game, featuring a yellow and red disembodied head, which is totally a knock at the New Japan Pro Wrestling's logo--a company Omega wrestled for--explaining Omega left all his friends and now, he's all alone. This includes a silhouette of Omega's former tag team partner, Kota Ibushi. You can check out the video for yourself below. The sound effects and dialogue from the end of that section are taken directly from Undertale. After the video package ended, Omega entered wearing a Sans mask, while Megalovania--the song from the game--played in the arena. Surprisingly, this worked incredibly well as entrance music for one of t...
