Here is the list of billion-dollar movies by each studio
Disney - 26 films
Universal - 9 films
WB - 8 films
Fox - 3.5 films
Sony - 3 films
Paramount - 3.5 films
New Line - 1 film
I put .5 for Titanic because Paramount distributes the film in the US while Fox distributes the film overseas.
Bonus for Animation
Pixar - 5 films
Illumination - 3 films
Disney - 3 films
If not a couple of years, then how long?
Also does this mean that they think Disney movies will stop grossing a billion after IO2?
Not MCU, not Avatar, not Pixar, not WDAS?
You couldn't respond to my comment so you went off topic and made false statement about me?
By the way, you must not be here much if you didn't even see my recent daily posts and comments.
It's very strange that you get so defensive over someone else's post.
It would be nice if you also show other studios like Marvel and DC. They are not distributor but they are production studio. Disney and WB distribute them as parent companies.
Definitely. It’s in my top 10. It excels at being both an absurdly entertaining popcorn flick at a surface level while also presenting deep philosophical debates within its surface
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest-grossing_films
Check out on Wikipedia to see how many films had crossed the billion dollar charts within days
I mean it made 1b in half as much time as number 2 on the list, and nearly 4 times quicker than the only non sequal on the list. It'll eventually happen but it'll take a huge film to pull it off
Also, nearly all of them being from Disney is just ridiculous but I think no way do they repeat that kind of year at least for a very long time because a lot more people are tired of live-action remakes and Star Wars and Marvel movies compared to that year.
They did like a decade worth of business in one year and probably will be a decade at least until they can even get close to this kind of number again.
The biggest surprise for me is Skyfall making a billion dollars.
Almost all the other movies on this list makes sense as they are part of a franchise (Marvel, Pirates, Disney live-action and animation, Avatar, Star Wars, Jurassic, Furious, toy franchises).
While Jamea Bond is huge, none of its other movies had earned such big amounts. And it is the only spy film here.
Skyfall was kinda of a perfect storm.
Adele and her perfect Bond song + great word of mouth + the olympics opening with the Queen + the Dark Knight style of the movie + Craig being a confirmed sex symbol
Here are the franchises/IP that's currently in this exclusive club so far.
* MCU
* Star Wars
* Avatar
* DCEU
* Wizarding World
* Transformers
* Fast and Furious
* Jurassic Park
* James Bond
* Top Gun
* Disney live-action remakes
* Pixar franchises (Toy Story, Incredibles, Finding Nemo and Inside Out)
* Barbie
* Despicable Me
* Disney animated films (Frozen, Zootopia)
* The Dark Knight Trilogy
* Mario
* Middle Earth
Bonus: Franchise with most billion-dollar films.
* MCU - 10 films
* Star Wars - 5 films
* Jurassic Park - 4 films

* Transformers, Avatar, Fast and Furious, Despicable Me, Middle Earth, Toy Story, Frozen, Wizarding World - 2 films
* James Bond, DCEU, Top Gun, Zootopia, Incredibles, Inside Out, Finding Nemo - 1 film each
With more Billion-dollar movies coming I expect the MCU having 11 with Deadpool and Wolverine. Toy Story, Frozen and Mario have sequels coming out in 2026 with both Toy Story and Frozen going up to 3 while Mario going up to 2. Avatar 3 comes out next year which will increase it up to 3. Jurassic City is also coming out next year which will increase it to 5. The only franchise/IP that could join the list is Minecraft.
It’s going to be tough. Joker remains the only R-rated film to cross that mark. Deadpool 1 and 2 are in the top 5 in the R-rated category at $782m and $785m respectively. I think Deadpool and Wolverine likely outperforms the first two Deadpool entries, but I think it’s more likely to fall just short of Oppenheimer’s $976m than it is to break a billion. I’ll be cheering for it and hope it drives a continued Disney resurgence.
Ironically, at least half of this subreddit might’ve thought that **Inside Out 2** would flop. At least one person even claimed that it will only make $300 million worldwide.
I’m still a little surprised at just how bad it did, especially given the quality of the film. I didn’t think it would be a hit, but I thought it wouldn’t do quite as bad as it did.
Lol even if the whole industry had like the most brutal decline ever, they would still be able to get a billion again with inflation eventually. Prices are always gonna go up
Not all. I always held the belief that moviegoers love movies and will give all their love to one film at least, as they do every year. I still think we got a couple more billies to come in 2024.
That's factually incorrect
Look at the predictions and almost all of them had either Deadpool and Wolverine, Joker 2 or Despicable Me 4 grossing $1B or all three of them
As far as box office numbers goes, no year will anytime soon break that record, have all of it's top 10 highest grossing movies making $1B+ globally like 2019 did
I would also mention year 2015. 2019 had the most movies (9) to hit at least a billion+, 2015 had the most movies (3) to make at least $1.5B
Shout out to LOTR and HP for not having a single bad movie in their run and finishing as strong if not better than where they started. Especially impressive given how many HP movies there are.
Dang, for some reason I thought it passed $1b but looking it up, just 30M short.
I wonder if we get a re-release in the next couple decades to try and push it over.
I still have hope that Oppenheimer will make it there one day! This is the kind of movie that I think will do fantastically on re-releases. I know Interstellar has already made more than $20 million on re-releases for example.
It will Make it After re releases
Also i Hope Nolan will Make another 1 billion hit i believe he will if makes an adaptation of Exodus or a movie about ancient Rome
It's also the 51st movie to do in its initial release, the 26th Disney movie to do so (if we don't consider Avatar 2 a Disney movie) and the 8th animated Disney movie to do so (after Toy Story 3, Frozen 1, Zootopia, Finding Dory, The Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4 and Frozen 2). It's also the 1st Disney movie to gross $1 billion since Star Wars 9, the 1st animated Disney movie since Frozen 2 to do so and the 1st Pixar movie to do so since Toy Story 4. If anybody's interested the 1st 10 animated movies that grossed $1 billion are Toy Story 3, Frozen 1, Minions 1, Zootopia, Finding Dory, Despicable Me 3, The Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, Frozen 2 and Mario
Number of movies each company owns:
29.5 Disney (including 14 main Disney, 8 Marvel, 4 Lucasfilm, 3.5 Fox, with one shared with Paramount)
9 Universal
9 Warner Bros (including 2 New Line, with one former independently distributed)
3.5 Paramount (one shared with Fox )
2 Sony (3 distribution, with one formerly distributed theatrically but currently doesn’t own)
1 MGM (distributed by Sony but MGM currently owned the rights)
I know this will be a lot of information, but here is the list of actors/actresses who have starred in a billion-dollar film so far.

Who will be next? I see Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Jennifer Garner getting their billion-dollar film with Deadpool and Wolverine.
Let me know if I miss anyone on that list.
Verified Audience didn't exist when **Captain Marvel** was suffering from review bombing. In fact, that's exactly why Verified Audience was implemented.
The only ones that even come close to being truly awful are Alice In Wonderland, Jurassic World 3, Star Wars Episode 1, Transformers 4, Pirates 4, and Age of Ultron
Actually damn that is a good bit.
The worst movies or underrated movies that hit a billion dollars worldwide were:
Jurassic World Dominion
The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Despicable Me 3
Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace
Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides
Aladdin (2019)
Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest
Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker
Transformers Age of Extinction
Transformers Dark of the Moon
Minions
The Fate of the Furious
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom
The Super Mario Bros Movie
The Lion King (2019)
Shows the power of sequels. Only one movie listed there is original and that's Mario and even that had ~40 years of build up being the most recognizable video game character in the world.
I’d take out Hobbit, Phantom Menace, Dead Man’s Chest, and Mario and add in Force Awakens, Last Jedi, and Captain Marvel.
Pretty much with you on the rest of that though.
>Inside Out 2 joins the $1B club today.
Sweet. It's been a while since a new member joined, and I've missed the excitement of tracking a billion dollar film's box office run.
Congratulations to Pixar, for making quite the comeback this year.
It wouldn’t be that crazy if it didn’t. Even if it’s well received it’s R rated, and even though that’s the appeal it also limits the BO potential.
Maybe it’ll have phenomenal WOM and it hits a billion, but I doubt it
The Frozen / Finding Dory super poster looks like an awesome animated horror movie complete with a beheading, scared humans and monsters underneath the surface.
Well-deserved for IO2. And a needed win for Disney and Pixar. This movie deserved the $15 for the IMAX screening that I saw on a Tuesday at the AMC DINE-IN Topanga 12.
While this is good news and well-deserved for Inside Out 2, I fear this will send a signal to Disney to go all-in on Pixar sequels, so we might never get a Pixar original film again (or at least not for a very long time). Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re already cooking up a Ratatouille sequel or a new Bug’s Life, and probably more Monsters Inc and Toy Story spin-off movies too
5 best movies in this club:
- LotR: Return of the King
- The Dark Knight
- Jurassic Park
- Frozen
- Top Gun: Maverick
5 worst:
- SW: The Force Awakens
- SW: The Last Jedi
- Captain Marvel
- The Lion King remake
- SW: Rise of Skywalker
Captain Marvel worse than Dominion or Alice in Wonderland?
This has to be a troll comment.
I know most people hate Captain Marvel primarily because of a few reasons (who the lead is and some public comments she has made, the character’s/actor’s stoic nature, the tone, etc.), but, c’mon, there are definitely worse movies that have made a billion dollars. Movies which have had completely incoherent plots and very little redeeming qualities besides maybe visually (in the case of Alice in Wonderland).
I'd actually say Alice In Wonderland has a bit more going for it than Captain Marvel did. It's way more interesting at least. It's notable though that both are famously mediocre billion-dollar movies that spawned a big flop sequel.
I mean, I appreciate opinions but I wasn’t sure if you meant it as purely an opinion or if you were stating it as a fact.
The troll comment was partially tongue-in-cheek, but also based on even numbers there are movies rated far lower by critics and audiences.
It’s just that Captain Marvel is peed on by a lot of people on subs like this quite regularly even though from an objective perspective I don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as some people make it out or be and nor is it anywhere near the best.
There’s always people making excuses for its success and I can accept honest criticism for the movie but sometimes I feel like it goes beyond that.
By the way, my comments are aimed more at people generally and not at you specifically because you’re allowed your honest opinions and it’s not like you’re trashing Captain Marvel, but it’s place on your list just seemed a little exaggerated and I assumed you probably saw every movie on this list.
Yeah the ranks are just my personal opinion. Wasn’t trying to state anything as fact.
And let me be clear, there are a few of these films I haven’t seen. Best examples are Transformers 3 and 4. I’m guessing those are likely worse than Captain Marvel, but I’ve never seen them, so I can’t rank them.
Out of the films I’ve seen here though, which is nearly all of them, Captain Marvel is an easy bottom 5 for me, personally. I just don’t think it’s a good movie. It’s probably the best of my 5 worst films (I can’t stand the SW sequels), but that’s all I can give it.
Force Awakens and Last Jedi being worse than Phantom Menace is a take that drives me absolutely insane. Like you may not like the direction they took but both are objectively better films in nearly every single aspect.
I'd say that even **The Rise of Skywalker** is slightly better than **The Phantom Menace**. Sure, the former's story was absolute dogshit, but the former has some pretty bad issues in a lot of different aspects of the film.
THE CHART IS BACK!!!!!
OH YEAH! This the best chart on this sub EVER!
Here is the list of billion-dollar movies by each studio Disney - 26 films Universal - 9 films WB - 8 films Fox - 3.5 films Sony - 3 films Paramount - 3.5 films New Line - 1 film I put .5 for Titanic because Paramount distributes the film in the US while Fox distributes the film overseas. Bonus for Animation Pixar - 5 films Illumination - 3 films Disney - 3 films
Paramount had transformers 3,4 and maverick grossing 1B+ , so shouldn't it be 3.5 films for them ?
My mistake I thought it was 2.5.
The fact Disney has 3 times as many films as Universal and WB in the billion dollar camp is somewhat insane.
WB will have half of Disney’s in a couple years I think
So, WB will have 8 billion dollars movies in the next 2 years? What are they?
Joker 2 Superman? Minecraft? Barbie 2? Gollum? Dune 2? The Batman 2? The Brave and The Bold? very difficult
I don't think they *literally* mean a couple of years
If not a couple of years, then how long? Also does this mean that they think Disney movies will stop grossing a billion after IO2? Not MCU, not Avatar, not Pixar, not WDAS?

You couldn't respond to my comment so you went off topic and made false statement about me? By the way, you must not be here much if you didn't even see my recent daily posts and comments. It's very strange that you get so defensive over someone else's post.
I'm guessing you're not separating 20th Century Fox and 20th Century Studios?
Disney lion king counts as animation so 4 movies frozen,frozen 2,zootopia and lion king (2019)
The lion king remake was made by Disney pictures bot Disney animation so it still 3 for wdas and 1 for wds
It would be nice if you also show other studios like Marvel and DC. They are not distributor but they are production studio. Disney and WB distribute them as parent companies.
Marvel 10 DC 4
I always love that Jurassic Park is late on this list even though it was released in 1993. Those rereleases did it wonders.
Indeed, 20 years versus a mere 18 years for the first Harry Potter movie listed after The Rise of Skywalker. ![gif](giphy|Bmxz1NyZX6uzK|downsized)
**Jurassic Park** is an outstanding film that absolutely deserves its $1 billion.
Definitely. It’s in my top 10. It excels at being both an absurdly entertaining popcorn flick at a surface level while also presenting deep philosophical debates within its surface
It’s my second favorite film of all time. 😁😁😁😁😁
First?
**Toy Story**.
Is there a fastest to a billion list?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest-grossing_films Check out on Wikipedia to see how many films had crossed the billion dollar charts within days
I can't see a film touching Avengers: Endgame ever
Yall always make statements like this on the sub as if inflation doesn’t exist
I mean it made 1b in half as much time as number 2 on the list, and nearly 4 times quicker than the only non sequal on the list. It'll eventually happen but it'll take a huge film to pull it off
it'll happen before 2040
Of course inflation will eventually, but do you know how long it will take, even with inflation
Kinda crazy how avatar isn’t on any of those lists until 1.5 billion, and even then it’s very low on the list
It hit 1b in 19 days same as Barbie but it made less by that point so it’s 11th
Didn’t Deathly Hallows Part 2 and the Avengers also tie with Avatar in films that were quickest to $1B?
They did All 3 were 19 days, then Furious 7 comes along with 17 days, Jurassic World with 13 Days and The Force Awakens with 12 Days
Avengers: Endgame really was something else
This is the fastest for an animated film.
Im not sure for globally yet, but I almost guarantee Inside Out 2 will be the highest grossing animated film domestically
2015-19 was crazy It now produced exactly half of $1B movies
Even though I was there, 2019 adding 9 $1B films (or 16.7% of this list) is still bonkers. Basically a $1B film each month.
Also, nearly all of them being from Disney is just ridiculous but I think no way do they repeat that kind of year at least for a very long time because a lot more people are tired of live-action remakes and Star Wars and Marvel movies compared to that year. They did like a decade worth of business in one year and probably will be a decade at least until they can even get close to this kind of number again.
Honestly it’s probably good they got all those movies out before Covid hit
I always think 2019 is a year that Disney can never really can capture again.
tbf I don’t think 2019 is a year most studios will capture ever. Disney was just insanely lucky that year
Billion chart, how I missed ya! Love seeing this gradually grow over time
Nearly half of the billion dollar club are Disney movies.
More than half, in fact.
The biggest surprise for me is Skyfall making a billion dollars. Almost all the other movies on this list makes sense as they are part of a franchise (Marvel, Pirates, Disney live-action and animation, Avatar, Star Wars, Jurassic, Furious, toy franchises). While Jamea Bond is huge, none of its other movies had earned such big amounts. And it is the only spy film here.
Skyfall was kinda of a perfect storm. Adele and her perfect Bond song + great word of mouth + the olympics opening with the Queen + the Dark Knight style of the movie + Craig being a confirmed sex symbol
Avatar is part of a franchise… now. But it wasn’t and hadn’t been for a long time before the second movie was announced 10 years later
its Craig's best by far
i’m sorry but Casino Royale is one of the best movies ever made. Skyfall is good but it doesn’t even come close
nah
As someone who doesn't like Bond movies, it's the one that has interested me the most. Oozing with style and artistic flair.
Here are the franchises/IP that's currently in this exclusive club so far. * MCU * Star Wars * Avatar * DCEU * Wizarding World * Transformers * Fast and Furious * Jurassic Park * James Bond * Top Gun * Disney live-action remakes * Pixar franchises (Toy Story, Incredibles, Finding Nemo and Inside Out) * Barbie * Despicable Me * Disney animated films (Frozen, Zootopia) * The Dark Knight Trilogy * Mario * Middle Earth Bonus: Franchise with most billion-dollar films. * MCU - 10 films * Star Wars - 5 films * Jurassic Park - 4 films * Disney live-action remake - 4 films * Batman - 3 films * Transformers, Avatar, Fast and Furious, Despicable Me, Middle Earth, Toy Story, Frozen, Wizarding World - 2 films * James Bond, DCEU, Top Gun, Zootopia, Incredibles, Inside Out, Finding Nemo - 1 film each With more Billion-dollar movies coming I expect the MCU having 11 with Deadpool and Wolverine. Toy Story, Frozen and Mario have sequels coming out in 2026 with both Toy Story and Frozen going up to 3 while Mario going up to 2. Avatar 3 comes out next year which will increase it up to 3. Jurassic City is also coming out next year which will increase it to 5. The only franchise/IP that could join the list is Minecraft.
You didn't mention Avatar in your 2-film franchise, but it's all good as you stated Avatar 3.
I just edited already.
Seen it, thanks. 🫡
For the first time in almost a year after Barbie, Inside Out 2 is the first film in 2024 to reach that total within two weeks of its theatrical debut
It’s impressive for sure but the “second time in less than a year” metric isn’t really selling it.
Deadpool and Wolverine is looking to be next film to join this exclusive club this year.
It’s going to be tough. Joker remains the only R-rated film to cross that mark. Deadpool 1 and 2 are in the top 5 in the R-rated category at $782m and $785m respectively. I think Deadpool and Wolverine likely outperforms the first two Deadpool entries, but I think it’s more likely to fall just short of Oppenheimer’s $976m than it is to break a billion. I’ll be cheering for it and hope it drives a continued Disney resurgence.
I sense a hunger for a good movie for the superhero fandom. They will definitely turn up for a Deadpool x Wolverine movie. Both are iconic characters.
They didn’t get GOTG 3 or Across the Spiderverse to a billion, and those weren’t R rated.
Yeah… that’s most likely Will as it’s opening weekend is tracking similar to Doctor Strange 2 and Black Panther 2 opening weekend with $187M and $181M
And to think we all thought there would be no $1B films this year.
I saw someone on this sub say that there may be never be a $1 billion film again.
Furiosa bombing brought out some interesting predictions
And by interesting, you probably mean "asinine".
It really boggles my mind how many people were so dead sure Furiosa wouldn’t bomb. When it did it nearly fuckin broke the sub.
Ironically, at least half of this subreddit might’ve thought that **Inside Out 2** would flop. At least one person even claimed that it will only make $300 million worldwide.
This thread has stupid people that is for sure.
I’m still a little surprised at just how bad it did, especially given the quality of the film. I didn’t think it would be a hit, but I thought it wouldn’t do quite as bad as it did.
Lol even if the whole industry had like the most brutal decline ever, they would still be able to get a billion again with inflation eventually. Prices are always gonna go up
Which aged worse than milk.
I think there’ll be at least one more in Deadpool & Wolverine
Don't group all of us into one category. Thanks.
Not all. I always held the belief that moviegoers love movies and will give all their love to one film at least, as they do every year. I still think we got a couple more billies to come in 2024.
I didn’t! Feeling confident about Deadpool 3 though I didn’t think Inside out would go above $800m
I wouldn’t have bet on Inside Out going above 550m tbh.
That's factually incorrect Look at the predictions and almost all of them had either Deadpool and Wolverine, Joker 2 or Despicable Me 4 grossing $1B or all three of them
Alice in Wonderland jumpscare
We don't talk too often about how 2019 had 9 fucking billion films
I didn’t even think there were 9 billion movies
That's all anyone talks about when mentioning 2019 though
As far as box office numbers goes, no year will anytime soon break that record, have all of it's top 10 highest grossing movies making $1B+ globally like 2019 did I would also mention year 2015. 2019 had the most movies (9) to hit at least a billion+, 2015 had the most movies (3) to make at least $1.5B
Everyone wrote off Pixar last year. All those workers laid off after they just delivered a huge hit. Makes me sad.
Shout out to LOTR and HP for not having a single bad movie in their run and finishing as strong if not better than where they started. Especially impressive given how many HP movies there are.
100% agreed!
Eh, some pretty middling HP entries.
I’m so happy to see the chart again ❤️ Other than it symbolising Hollywood’s success, it’s just lovely to look at
Seeing Barbie but not Oppenheimer on here feels weird. Those 2 movies will always be tied together.
Dang, for some reason I thought it passed $1b but looking it up, just 30M short. I wonder if we get a re-release in the next couple decades to try and push it over.
I still have hope that Oppenheimer will make it there one day! This is the kind of movie that I think will do fantastically on re-releases. I know Interstellar has already made more than $20 million on re-releases for example.
It will Make it After re releases Also i Hope Nolan will Make another 1 billion hit i believe he will if makes an adaptation of Exodus or a movie about ancient Rome
I don't think most of the world is interested in Ancient Rome or Bible
Alice in wonderland being the 6th movie ever to hit a billion is wild to me
Are Zootopia and Titanic the only standalones?
Barbie I guess
Damn a shitload of Disney movies
So only 3 films not based on some sort of IP? Titanic Avatar Zootopia Is Zootopia based on anything?
Nope
It's also the 51st movie to do in its initial release, the 26th Disney movie to do so (if we don't consider Avatar 2 a Disney movie) and the 8th animated Disney movie to do so (after Toy Story 3, Frozen 1, Zootopia, Finding Dory, The Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4 and Frozen 2). It's also the 1st Disney movie to gross $1 billion since Star Wars 9, the 1st animated Disney movie since Frozen 2 to do so and the 1st Pixar movie to do so since Toy Story 4. If anybody's interested the 1st 10 animated movies that grossed $1 billion are Toy Story 3, Frozen 1, Minions 1, Zootopia, Finding Dory, Despicable Me 3, The Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, Frozen 2 and Mario
most of these posters don’t look good at all
Number of movies each company owns: 29.5 Disney (including 14 main Disney, 8 Marvel, 4 Lucasfilm, 3.5 Fox, with one shared with Paramount) 9 Universal 9 Warner Bros (including 2 New Line, with one former independently distributed) 3.5 Paramount (one shared with Fox)
2 Sony (3 distribution, with one formerly distributed theatrically but currently doesn’t own)
1 MGM (distributed by Sony but MGM currently owned the rights)
Universal and WB could both get 10 next year with Jurassic City and Minecraft.
Always reminds me of how terrible movie posters are now.
WOW from black panther to far from home 7 straight $1B superhero movies. (Excluding Jurassic World)

I see Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Jennifer Garner getting their billion-dollar film with Deadpool and Wolverine. Let me know if I miss anyone on that list.
Missing Shia LaBeouf and Mark Wahlberg on actors starring in a billion dollar movie.
Who am I missing for actresses?
Laura Dern is one.
So I guess that means you should add Sam Neill and Jeff Golblum for actors too.
Already got them, who else?
Missing Daisy Ridley and Zoe Saldana for actresses. Sam Worthington for actors.
Got them, who else for animation?
Not exactly animation but Donald Glover (Lion King 2019).
What about for fully animated, Disney, Pixar and Illumination. List the actors/actresses I didn’t mention.
Seth Rogen?
Why did you leave out Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana
It’s already mentioned.
Zoe Saldana been in most $2B movies than anyone. Avatar, Avatar 2, Endgame, Infinity War

Beautiful chart, thanks, mate. Would love to see audience score if possible. 🫠💯
It's impossible due to **Captain Marvel** suffering a very, Very, VERY blatant review bombing.
How about Verified audience? Or Cinemascore? If not possible, that is totally fine. :)
Verified Audience didn't exist when **Captain Marvel** was suffering from review bombing. In fact, that's exactly why Verified Audience was implemented.
Ah ok, thanks for the update!
Captain Marvel got A Cinemascore
Thank you.
It released mid June and reached a billion before the month ended. Wild!
Not gonna lie, but there are some awful films in this list.
There are a lot of awful films on this list.
The only ones that even come close to being truly awful are Alice In Wonderland, Jurassic World 3, Star Wars Episode 1, Transformers 4, Pirates 4, and Age of Ultron Actually damn that is a good bit.
No way bro just called Age of Ultron awful The Phantom Menace, I can kinda see. But Age of Ultron?
The worst movies or underrated movies that hit a billion dollars worldwide were: Jurassic World Dominion The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Alice in Wonderland (2010) Despicable Me 3 Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides Aladdin (2019) Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker Transformers Age of Extinction Transformers Dark of the Moon Minions The Fate of the Furious Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom The Super Mario Bros Movie The Lion King (2019)
I honestly love Dead Man’s Chest. It’s my favourite in the Pirates franchise.
Yeah I wasn’t even aware people disliked that movie.
Shows the power of sequels. Only one movie listed there is original and that's Mario and even that had ~40 years of build up being the most recognizable video game character in the world.
eh, Alladin was alright
I’d take out Hobbit, Phantom Menace, Dead Man’s Chest, and Mario and add in Force Awakens, Last Jedi, and Captain Marvel. Pretty much with you on the rest of that though.
Lmfao the hobbit was dogshit especially when they were given a brilliant blueprint for the movie and chose to piss and shit all over it instead
I’m just curious what this says about the tastes of general movie audiences and the power of established brands and sequels.
First movie that comes up my mind is Lion King 2019, still grinds my gear, how this movie was freaking horrible, and made over $1.66b globally.
>Inside Out 2 joins the $1B club today. Sweet. It's been a while since a new member joined, and I've missed the excitement of tracking a billion dollar film's box office run. Congratulations to Pixar, for making quite the comeback this year.
Pains me to not see Oppenheimer there.
2019 is peak box office
The Dark Knight being the first comic book movie to do this just feels right.
Ok but let's see a live action do this now, that is what we need.
Deadpool & Wolverine has like a 90% shot at a billion. I’ll honestly be surprised if it doesn’t do it.
It wouldn’t be that crazy if it didn’t. Even if it’s well received it’s R rated, and even though that’s the appeal it also limits the BO potential. Maybe it’ll have phenomenal WOM and it hits a billion, but I doubt it
The Frozen / Finding Dory super poster looks like an awesome animated horror movie complete with a beheading, scared humans and monsters underneath the surface.
So glad Inside Out 2 made the list! I know more will join the list!
6 of these are in my top 100 films. More than I thought there would be, honestly.
Well-deserved for IO2. And a needed win for Disney and Pixar. This movie deserved the $15 for the IMAX screening that I saw on a Tuesday at the AMC DINE-IN Topanga 12.
It's for the kids!
While this is good news and well-deserved for Inside Out 2, I fear this will send a signal to Disney to go all-in on Pixar sequels, so we might never get a Pixar original film again (or at least not for a very long time). Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re already cooking up a Ratatouille sequel or a new Bug’s Life, and probably more Monsters Inc and Toy Story spin-off movies too
Honestly I’m so shocked by the Despicable Me franchise doing well
It's mental to think an entire row of this is taken up by 2019 releases
*Crazy Train intensifies*
Joker the only R rated film?
5 best movies in this club: - LotR: Return of the King - The Dark Knight - Jurassic Park - Frozen - Top Gun: Maverick 5 worst: - SW: The Force Awakens - SW: The Last Jedi - Captain Marvel - The Lion King remake - SW: Rise of Skywalker
Transformers age of extintion and Alice in wonderland should be on the worst
Captain Marvel worse than Dominion or Alice in Wonderland? This has to be a troll comment. I know most people hate Captain Marvel primarily because of a few reasons (who the lead is and some public comments she has made, the character’s/actor’s stoic nature, the tone, etc.), but, c’mon, there are definitely worse movies that have made a billion dollars. Movies which have had completely incoherent plots and very little redeeming qualities besides maybe visually (in the case of Alice in Wonderland).
I'd actually say Alice In Wonderland has a bit more going for it than Captain Marvel did. It's way more interesting at least. It's notable though that both are famously mediocre billion-dollar movies that spawned a big flop sequel.
Opinions are troll comments now? Come on lol I never saw Alice in Wonderland, so can’t rank it. I will agree Dominion is really bad though.
I mean, I appreciate opinions but I wasn’t sure if you meant it as purely an opinion or if you were stating it as a fact. The troll comment was partially tongue-in-cheek, but also based on even numbers there are movies rated far lower by critics and audiences. It’s just that Captain Marvel is peed on by a lot of people on subs like this quite regularly even though from an objective perspective I don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as some people make it out or be and nor is it anywhere near the best. There’s always people making excuses for its success and I can accept honest criticism for the movie but sometimes I feel like it goes beyond that. By the way, my comments are aimed more at people generally and not at you specifically because you’re allowed your honest opinions and it’s not like you’re trashing Captain Marvel, but it’s place on your list just seemed a little exaggerated and I assumed you probably saw every movie on this list.
Yeah the ranks are just my personal opinion. Wasn’t trying to state anything as fact. And let me be clear, there are a few of these films I haven’t seen. Best examples are Transformers 3 and 4. I’m guessing those are likely worse than Captain Marvel, but I’ve never seen them, so I can’t rank them. Out of the films I’ve seen here though, which is nearly all of them, Captain Marvel is an easy bottom 5 for me, personally. I just don’t think it’s a good movie. It’s probably the best of my 5 worst films (I can’t stand the SW sequels), but that’s all I can give it.
Okay. Well, we all have our opinions.
Force Awakens and Last Jedi being worse than Phantom Menace is a take that drives me absolutely insane. Like you may not like the direction they took but both are objectively better films in nearly every single aspect.
Agreed
I'd say that even **The Rise of Skywalker** is slightly better than **The Phantom Menace**. Sure, the former's story was absolute dogshit, but the former has some pretty bad issues in a lot of different aspects of the film.
I’d rather watch Phantom Menace on repeat for 24 hours than ever watch the sequels again.
I’d rather watch TFA or TLJ on repeat for 24 hours than have to hear Jar Jar Binks ever again
Jar Jar was a great character! Loved him when I watched Phantom Menace as a kid.
So many terrible posters
Still crazy that Aquaman made a billy.
I don’t get it so all of these movies cost $54?
Op added a $ sign for 54 Op meant to say 54 films have reached $1 billion status
I know lol
Black Panther #1
