   LOS ANGELES - Director James Cameron on Monday handed over the baton
   for the biggest box-office movie of all time to the makers of
   "Avengers: Endgame" after it ended the 10-year record of "Avatar."

   The Marvel Studios superhero movie "Avengers: Endgame" at the weekend
   overtook the $2.789 billion record set by Cameron's 2009 sci-fi film
   "Avatar" to bring its global total to $2.790 billion, according to
   box-office data.

   "I see you, Marvel," Cameron tweeted, using a greeting in the Na'vi
   language featured in "Avatar" over a graphic of Iron Man surrounded by
   Pandoran woodsprites.

   "Congratulations to Avengers: Endgame on becoming the new box-office
   king," the director added.
