MoviePass temporarily suspends operations; ‘Avengers’ closes in on ‘Avatar’

MoviePass suspends operations in an effort to ‘provide a better end product for their customers’; ‘Avengers: Endgame’ is $15 million shy of passing ‘Avatar’ as the highest-grossing film of all time.

The 2009 "Avatar" movie has remained the highest grossing movie of all time since its release. The sequel to the popular sci-fi movie has been long awaited by many. 

The original movie was rerelease in theaters ahead of the new movie "Avatar: The Way of Water," coming out in December. Based on the box office numbers from the rerelease, it is clear that excitement is high for the upcoming film. 

"Avatar" is the highest grossing film of all time, beating out "Avengers: Endgame" by slight margins. The original movie has made $2.85 billion in global ticket sales.
