Avengers: Endgame is now the second highest-grossing film of all time, having earned over $2.188 billion (about Rs. 15,176 crores) at the worldwide box office, which breaks the record held by James Cameron-directed Titanic in just twelve days of global release. The epic conclusion to the Infinity Saga — the retroactive title bestowed on the first 22 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — now clearly has its sights set on the highest-grossing film of all time: Avatar, also directed by Cameron. Endgame is currently about $600 million away, but for what it's worth, the Marvel film hit the $2-billion milestone in 11 days, while Avatar took 47 days.
