Limits RegistryPUBLIC RECORD
Limits RegistryJames Cameron's 'Avatar' (2009) reclaimed the record for highest-grossing film of all time (unadjusted for inflation) after a 2022 theatrical re-release pushed its worldwide total to roughly $2.92 billion, edging past 'Avengers: Endgame.' Because rankings at the very top have shifted repeatedly with re-releases and new blockbusters, this figure should be read as the standing as of the most recent editions covered by this registry's sources rather than a permanently fixed fact.
