Director James Cameron congratulated “Avengers: Endgame” Monday for beating his film “Avatar” to become the highest-grossing movie of all time. Marvel’s superhero blockbuster ended the 10-year reign of “Avatar” Sunday after its global box office haul rose to $2.7902 billion. It smashed a record previously set by Cameron for “Titanic” 12 years earlier. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige had already been full of praise for Cameron as “Endgame” zeroed in on the record days earlier. “You have to shout out to James Cameron, who held that title for a long time,” Feige told San Diego Comic-Con, the world’s biggest pop culture fan convention, on Saturday.
