You've shown that the movie industry is not only alive and well, it's bigger than ever!"
James tweeted a message to the Avengers crew

Such an epic stuff Mr Cameron! #AvengersEndgame, you guys break records, but he still gives it in a better way." A third person praised how much it took to surpass Titanic, writing: "It took 18 movies... to beat down the legend."
