James Cameron Congratulates 'Avengers: Endgame' for Surpassing 'Titanic' at Box Office

If Avengers: Endgame wants the title of highest-grossing film of all time (unadjusted for inflation), it's going to have to go through James Cameron. Endgame has now flown past Cameron's Titanic (1997), and might be sweeping past the coveted top spot held by another of Cameron's films: Avatar (2009). But Cameron isn't bitter about it. In, fact he just congratulated the achievement.

Cameron tweeted his congratulations to Marvel Studios and its president Kevin Feige, after Endgame beat out Titanic at the box office. He posted a picture of the Avengers logo sinking the Titanic ship, and wrote, "To Kevin and everyone at Marvel. An iceberg sank the real Titanic."

"It took the Avengers to sink my Titanic," Cameron continued. "Everyone here at Lightstorm Entertainment salutes your amazing achievement. You've shown that the movie industry is not only alive and well, it's bigger than ever!"

Endgame needs to earn over $2.8 billion to beat out Avatar. It currently has made $2.3 billion.
