Does Avengers: Endgame have what it takes to beat Avatar and become the new highest-grossing film of all time? It might, but doing so won't be easy.

Endgame's worldwide gross is now $2.48 billion, putting it about $300 million behind Avatar, which finished its historic run with $2.78 billion. This comes after Endgame, the second highest-grossing movie in history, took in another $63 million domestically and $102 million internationally in its third weekend, Box Office Mojo reports.
