James Cameron, the director of Titanic and Avatar, two of the highest grossing films of all time, had once shown disdain for the culture of superhero films that are reigning over at the box office, especially the Avengers films. Interestingly, Cameron himself was once touted to direct a Spider-Man film. Perhaps, as some weird sense of justice, it took a superhero film to topple the long-standing record of one of his films, while the other one is waiting to be toppled. Avengers: Endgame Box Office Collections: Marvel Film Becomes Second Highest Grosser of All Time, Beats Titanic With $2.2 Billion Worldwide Total.

Avengers: EndGame has recently managed to take the second position in the highest grossing movies worldwide. It has managed to outearn the collections of Titanic, which is $2.188 billion. What's so special is that EndGame managed to do so within just 11 days. With the film going on full force in the theatres nearly everywhere, fans are also expecting the film to take on the number one position. That means beating the collection of Avatar, which stands at $2.8 billion. The question is when!

As the record doesn't seem very far away, Marvel fans are already making memes and jokes on Avatar and James Cameron.
