James Cameron's blockbuster Avatar has again been named the highest grossing movie of all time — more than 10 years after it was released. 

The 2009 sci-fi film was dethroned two years ago by Marvel's Avengers: Endgame.

However, after a release in Chinese movie theatres last week, Avatar has once again taken the top spot with a box office total of more than NZ$3.9 billion.

Sequels to the original film are currently in the works in Wellington, with the first slated for a December 2022 release.
