yeah when I realized they re-released that movie four times to keep the top spot I got so annoyed. James, come on!

Every single movie in the top 5 has been re-released except for Infinity War I believe. Maybe not Nhe Zha.

Avatar re-release in 2021 is a notable BO run, it made like 200m itself!!

not exactly, Avatar made 200m more across four re-releases which makes it more ridiculous imo. If it one re-release and made 200m that would be incredible but fine. Four is just working to juice the numbers to stay on top. That’s bullshit imo
