12 years after its official release (and 3 since its title was surpassed by Marvel Studios' Avengers: Endgame), James Cameron's Avatar is once again the highest grossing film of all time!

This feat is all thanks to a China reissue which began on 12 March 2021 and which through its first two days has added an estimated $12.3M to the total haul for the Na’vi. A feat that definitely didn't go unnoticed as evideny in this official congratulatory tweet from the studios behind the movie that just got knocked off the top spot:

Congratulations to @JimCameron ,@JonLandau , and ALL of Na'vi Nation for reclaiming the box office crown! We love you 3000. @OfficialAvatar pic.twitter.com/WlMWRcL15y
