Yes, a sequel to a global phenomenon still rearing its head even now was always inevitable. Frozen 2 – $1.450 billionįrozen 2 is a strange one. There’s some A-grade Hulk-smashing, though. Worst of all, Black Widow said she’s a monster because she can’t have kids. While not dismissed by critics and fans, many noted its shortcomings, like how the titular “Age” lasted no time at all, or how the juggling of the characters made the film almost incoherent. How it was received is another story entirely. Its financial success was clear in the numbers, and at the time it was the second-biggest opening ever. Joss Whedon returned to the MCU for Avengers: Age of Ultron, one of the most hotly-anticipated movies of the franchise after the success of the team’s first team-up. Marvel Studios James Spader voiced the villain in Avengers: Age of Ultron, one of the MCU’s highest-grossing movies. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – $1.311 billion It took home the Oscars for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song, with Let It Go – the ultimate earworm – earning a perpetual spot on playlists in every shopping centre and supermarket.Īs well as its huge box office haul, many critics declared it the best Disney film since the studio’s renaissance era – however, it went onto beat itself six years later with the sequel.

For a time, of its animated classics, it was Disney’s highest-grossing movie ever. Frozen – $1.282 billionįrozen conquered the world. Fortunately for the studio, it was an emphatic win, becoming the highest-grossing live-action musical movie to this day. If we’re forgetting about Alice in Wonderland – which we all should, quite frankly – Beauty and the Beast solidified the Disney live-action formula: revise the songs slightly, cast inoffensive actors, and always, always adhere to the original, even if it feels to the detriment of the movie.īear in mind, Beauty and the Beast was the first animated movie to ever be nominated for Best Picture, so a flop would have been mildly catastrophic for Disney. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – $1.146 billionĭisney Beauty and the Beast is the highest-grossing live-action musical movie of all time. Those reasons contributed to its box office success, and the fact that everyone loves Spidey, but it isn’t why it made more than a billion: it was the first MCU movie to hit cinemas after Avengers: Endgame, so it was always going to make crazy money. It finally takes Peter Parker out of New York and makes Europe his playground, it has one of the MCU’s most charismatic villains with Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio, and it has a whopper of a cliffhanger. Listen, Spider-Man: Far From Home is a terrific movie.
Spider-Man: Far From Home – $1.132 billion The movie itself was a smash-hit and became the MCU’s seventh film to top $1 billion. Jackson paging a symbol as the world fell to dust.

Here comes the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios Brie Larson joined the MCU as the all-powerful Captain Marvel. Transformers: Age of Extinction – $1.104 billion Its sequels never captured the same magic, nor did the Jurassic World trilogy – not that it mattered when it came to the box office. It was an adventure 65 million years in the making, and for generations of moviegoers, it was the first time they truly experienced cinematic wonder. Titanic may have been the first movie to make more than $1 billion, but Jurassic Park’s inaugural dino-thrills have made their way back to theatres in the decades since its release, allowing it to comfortably join the other highest-grossing movies. Released four years after The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan’s Bat-finale didn’t land with every fan, but the sheer weight of anticipation made it a sure-fire hit as soon as it hit cinemas, with audiences wowed by Tom Hardy’s Bane and a spine-tingling climax. There’s two types of people: there’s people who recognise The Dark Knight Rises as one of the greatest Batman movies ever, and an epic, worthy conclusion to one of the great blockbuster trilogies and there’s those who are wrong. The Dark Knight Rises was an epic conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.
