More than a decade on from its release, "Avatar" is once again the highest-grossing film of all time -- after reclaiming the coveted title from Marvel's "Avengers: Endgame".

It managed the impressive feat after it was re-released in China.

With renewed interest from Chinese audiences, it garnered enough in ticket sales to take its box office gross past $2.8 billion and earn its crown back.
