James Cameron has taken to social media to offer his congratulations to Marvel Studios for Avengers: Endgame toppling the 1997 mega-hit Titanic to become the second biggest movie of all time at the global box office. Here’s Cameron’s tweet:

Cameron may have another tweet to send in the near future, as Endgame continued its stellar box office run this weekend, fending off competition from Pokemon: Detective Pikachu to retain top spot and push its global haul to $2.485 billion. The final chapter of Marvel’s Infinity Saga is now just $300 million shy of Avatar’s record $2.788 billion haul and with John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum the only real competition this coming week, it’s certainly still possible that we could have a new box office champ once the dust settles on Endgame’s theatrical run.
Avengers: Endgame stars Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Josh Brolin (Thanos), Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Paul Rudd (Scott Lang), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Danai Gurira (Okoye), Benedict Wong (Wong), Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax), Bradley Cooper (Rocket), Vin Diesel (Groot), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts), Evangeline Lilly (The Wasp), Letitia Wright (Shuri) and Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie).
