In May, Anthony Russo and Joe Russo's "Avengers" flick edged out Titanic (1997) for the second spot on the list, having earned $2.2 billion at that point. Come July, "Endgame" surpassed Avatar (2009). Now, the second-and-third-place director - notorious for his cocky attitude - is speaking out about his losing his box office crown. However, the measured response from the guy who infamously bellowed "I'm the king of the world!" at the 1998 Oscar telecast might surprise some. "It gives me a lot of hope," the filmmaker told Deadline Wednesday. " 'Avengers: Endgame' is demonstrable proof that people will still go to movie theaters." Cameron, who's currently working on back-to-back follow ups to "Avatar" in New Zealand, said he hopes the enthusiasm for "Endgame" transfers over to his new sequels - when they're ready. "The thing that scared me most about making Avatar: La via dell'acqua (2022) and Avatar 3 (2024) was that the market might have shifted so much that it simply was no longer possible to get people that excited about going and sitting in a dark room with a bunch of strangers to watch something," he told the entertainment outlet.
