Avengers: Endgame is set to pass Avatar this weekend to become the highest‑grossing movie of all time.
The weekend take of the Disney and Marvel Studios' sequel should push it past the record held by James Cameron's epic of $2.7897 billion.
Marvel chief Kevin Feige hailed the achievement at Comic‑Con in San Diego on Saturday, although it was still officially $500,000 short at the time.
Disney boss Alan Horn said fans had taken the film to "historic heights".
