《阿凡達》重奪影史最暢銷寶座
賣座大片《阿凡達》在中國重新上映後，近日又重奪全球票房冠軍寶座。
這部科幻史詩大片於2009年首映，佔據全球票房冠軍寶座長達十年，直到2019年被漫威的《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》超車。
《阿凡達》在中國這個全球最大的電影市場重新上映後，上週末該片的全球票房突破了28億美元。
自從全世界都實施疫情封鎖之後，中國電影市場的表現一直是全球最佳。
發行方迪士尼公司稱，James Cameron導演的《阿凡達》光是上週五（3月12日）一天就創下400萬美元票房，超越了《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》。
2019年迪士尼從福斯收購娛樂資產後，這兩部電影就歸迪士尼所有了。在賣座電影排行榜上排名第三的《鐵達尼號》如今也屬於迪士尼公司。
2019年《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》票房超過《阿凡達》後，Cameron在推特上發了一張復仇者聯盟中鋼鐵人站在《阿凡達》裡虛構的潘朵拉星球上的圖片，並附上了賀詞。
眼下Cameron正在製作《阿凡達》的四部續集。下一部《阿凡達》電影目前計畫在2022年12月上映，此前已被推遲多次。
《阿凡達》製作人Jon Landau稱：「這個里程碑式的成就讓我們感到很驕傲，不過，吉姆（詹姆斯•柯麥隆）和我最興奮的是，在這一史無前例的時刻，這部電影又重新在影院上映。我們想感謝中國粉絲對《阿凡達》的支持。」
自從疫情迫使影院關閉後，中國電影院如今已經開放了數個月，該國本土電影甚至迎來了有史以來最火爆的票房。在中國重映前，《阿凡達》在美國收穫了約7.6億美元票房，全球票房也勉強超過20億美元。
