James Cameron will have to compose another congratulatory message to “Avengers: Endgame” tonight.

The Marvel comics movie is set to surpass Cameron’s “Avatar” and become the second highest grossing movie of all time.

All that will stand in the way of “Endgame” is “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” But that’s unlikely, since it’s $160 million away.

“Endgame” is starting to lose a little steam, after all, as everyone’s seen it two or three times.

When “Endgame” passed Cameron’s “Titanic” last week on the all time list, Cameron posted a nice note for the filmmakers. It was rare enough that Cameron had two blockbusters in the top 10. He still does, just not in the same spots.

“Avatar” moves to number 3 with $760 million. “Endgame” should top that tomorrow night by about $10 million.
