Avatarhas just overtakenAvengers: Endgametoreclaim the title of the highest-grossing movie of all time, and Zoe Saldana is celebrating the monumental occasion. Saldana, who appears in both movies, has the distinction of starring in the two highest-grossing movies ever released, regardless of which one of the two is currently on top. A big win for her either way, Saldana has since reacted to the news with a congratulatory post on Instagram.
“Biggest Congrats to [Avatar] for becoming, once again, the number 1 movie of all time,” Saldana writes in the caption. “China, we owe you one! To know that I am a part of “The Two Biggest Movies Of All Time” is humbling to say the least. To all my fans and fans of [Avatar] and [Avengers: Endgame]. Thank You! Gracias! Grazie!”
Saldana’s response follows bothMarvel Studios and the Russo Brothers congratulatingdirector James Cameron and producer Jon Landau on reclaiming the box office crown. The Marvel Studios account tweeted “we love you 3000,” while the Russo Brothers wrote on Twitter: “Passing the gauntlet back to you… [James Cameron].” They also included artwork from BossLogic effectively illustrating the new record-holder.
As it stands now,Avataris the king of the box office with more than $2.8 billion grossed in worldwide ticket sales.Avengers: Endgameisn’t too far behind with $2.798 billion made at the box office. That of course meansEndgamecould still very well take back the lead if Marvel Studios ever decides to rerelease the blockbuster movie in theaters, a move that seems inevitable to happen at some point in the future. For now, however, it’sAvatar’s time to shine once again.
