With it no longer playing in China there is no chance it will earn another $120 million internationally slightly more then $60 million is more realistic another $50 million domestic is very doable though.  So it will probably pass Avatar but just barely and not anytime soon.  I'm guessing some time in late July or early August when its very close to finishing its theatrical run world wide. 

Ah, didn't see that it got pulled from China.  That does indeed lop off a good chunk of its earnings potential.  Guess a month was all the 3rd biggest movie ever in that country could expect.

That market is so weird.

Wolf Warrior 2 and The Wandering Earth were bigger movies in China, and also cut short. I guess it's just their policy to make way for the new, foreign or not.

As a side comment, either way, I'll note how the Chinese market is massive nowadays and ever increasing. With their GDP growth + Renminbi appreciation + inflation, it's likely the average Chinese blockbuster by 2030 should gross US$1.2 - 1.5 billion in China alone.
