Because the film from 2009, which came across quite well on the big screen thanks to the impressive 3D technology at the time, is now again the most successful film of all. It was brought back to the cinemas in China to give the industry a little help there. The corona pandemic has plunged cinemas around the world into a deep crisis, but the incidence of infections in China is reportedly unlikely to be much lower than in Europe and the USA, for example.
That is why the cinemas have opened extensively there and “Avatar” could be shown again. That brought him almost nine million US dollars in less than a day and the top spot of “Endgame” was gone again. Its directors have already congratulated Cameron on Instagram. Incidentally, “Titanic” remains in third place and “Star Wars – The Force Awakens” follows in fourth place.
