It has taken Avengers: Endgame 13 weeks, and in that time it has broken almost every box office record, but this weekend it gets the biggest prize of all and beats Avatar to become the highest grossing movie of all time.
Avatar released in 2009 has held the honor for the last 10 years with a total gross of $2.789 Billion from its initial release and all subsequent releases but Avengers: Endgame hits a gross of $2.790 Billion this Saturday.
There was a time when it was thought the gross would never be beaten and despite the former top grossing movie Titanic getting a re-release and pushing its gross over $2 Billion and Star Wars: The Force Awakens having a good go back in 2015 neither were good enough.
There is every possibility that the total global gross will continue to grow and although it seems unlikely now who knows it could be the first film to get to $3 Billion.
Although the gross of the film has beaten Avatar the ticket sales, or adjusted for inflation as its often known as, is still a way from Avatar which would have grossed $3.273 Billion were it released today, although Gone With The Wind from 1939 is still on top of that list.
It is only a matter of time before we get the first $3 Billion film, and hence beating Avenger: Endgame but for the time being Disney and Marvel can enjoy this mighty task.
The might of Avengers: Endgame has come to an end in the UK, at least for the time being, as Pokémon: Detective Pikachu takes over at the top on its debut weekend of release.
The Nintendo favourite bounces to the top of the UK box office on its opening weekend of release with a debut gross of £5 million.
The film which is directed by Rob Letterman and stars Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Pikachu and Justice Smith removes Avengers: Endgame after just 2 weeks, although the Marvel movie is still going strong.
The might of the Marvel film is still going in the UK as the film takes £4.4 million on its third weekend which takes its total UK gross to £80.4 million.
It is now the 6th top film in the UK having just overtaken Titanic, the film now has Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Avatar in its sights.
The buddy con artist film remake makes its debut at number 3 this weekend after luke warn reviews across the board.
The film starring fan favourites Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson takes £1 million on its opening weekend.
The romantic comedy has stalled a but at the box office and falls to number 4 on its second weekend with a gross of £413,059 to boost its total to £1.8 million.
Finishing off the top 5 this week is the horror movie from The Conjuring Universe which takes £243,601 from its second weekend of release to take a total UK gross of £1.2 million.
The Disney film is the longest running film on the UK box office this week with 7 weeks and a £24.6 million total gross.
Avengers: Endgame continues on its path of world domination, and breaking box office records this week while it stops all in its path, yet again. Long Shot is the top new film entering the chart at 2 while there are 4 other new films on the top 10.
The Marvel film remains at the top of the global box office for a second weekend and in the process becomes the fastest film to break the $2 Billion milestone.
Only 4 other films have broken this mark, Avatar, Titanic, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Infinity War, Endgame did it in 11 days!
The films weekend take is $428 million from 56 countries with a $2.2 Billion total gross, according to Gitesh Pandya from boxofficeguru.com (an excellent website) the film will pass Avatar's $2.7 Billion gross on or around May 20th on its way to a possible $3 Billion gross.
Incredibly the film is already the second highest grossing film of all time having just over taken Titanic.
Seth Rogan and Charlize Theron star in this romantic political comedy which is directed by Jonathan Levine.
The film lands at number 2 on its debut weekend of release with a gross of $13.3 million from 23 countries.
This dramatic true story directed by Nadine Labaki enters the global box office at number 3 this week with a gross of $13.1 million from 17 countries.
Another new entry at number 4 this week is this thriller starring Meagan Good and Dennis Quaid which takes $11 million over the weekend from a single country release.
Finally on the top 5 is this animated comedy which takes $9.4 million for 9 counties on its debut weekend.
This week marks a bit of a mile stone in film global grosses, Despicable Me 3 goes over $1 billion, the first of the series to do so, this means now the top 30 top global grossing movies have all grossed over $1 Billion.
The first movie to do so was Titanic back in 1998 and was the only film to do so for a long time, that film had another bite of the cherry in 2012 and its gross is now over $2 billion.
The next film to do it was The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King in 2003, since then we have had at least one film a year do the fate.
The oldest film to go over $1 Billion is Jurassic Park from 1993, but again that had another go in 2011 which pushed it over the mark, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace similarly did the same.
To date only 3 film have gone to $2 Billion, Avatar (the top grossing movie of all time), Titanic and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The next milestone will be the top 50 all over a billion, which at the current rate will be some time in 2020/21, and then of course we look forward to the next Star Wars film going over the $2 Billion mark!.
Producing a series best with a £14 million opening weekend Fast and Furious 8 tops the UK box office easily making more than the rest of the chart added together.
This is the first instalment without the late Paul Walker and many thought the series could not continue, but number 8 in the long running series has performed better then expected.
The £14 million opening makes it the 30th best opening ever in the UK ahead ofThe Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and behind Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of The Sith.
After a week at the top The Boss baby falls to number 2 with £3 million bringing the films total to a rather good £16.7 million after 2 weeks.
The Handmaiden is new at number 6 with £474,752 and The Sense of an Ending is new at 10 with £329,948.
Highest total grossing movie on the chart is Beauty and The Beast with £65 million, its now the 10th top film in the UK, and the longest running film is Logan with 7 weeks.
