ALL 54 BILLION-DOLLAR MOVIES, RANKED BY TOMATOMETER

We heard it in a Hollywood movie once: “A million dollars isn’t cool. You know
what’s cool? A billion dollars.”

And in this town, it’s true. A movie making that minimum seven figures isn’t
cool, it’s a box office bomb. But 10 figures? Now we’re talking. Cracking a
billion dollars globally requires a mighty recipe of the hottest stars, the
shiniest filmmaking technology, and an engaging plot with twists and turns that
never becomes super-duper complicated. And, of course, you’ll need an audience
willing to turn out in droves the world over, from America to Lebanon to Zambia.

Now we’ve compiled all of the movies that have achieved just that and ranked
them by Tomatometer. It’s a compelling window into our era of blockbusters and
inflation. The Transformers and Pirates of the Caribbean series each have
multiple entries, in the years before the franchises were run into the ground.
Alice in Wonderland showed the way for Disney and these newfangled live-action
remakes. The last Lord of the Rings was rewarded by fans with the highest gross
of the trilogy, goodwill that transferred into The Hobbit: An Unexpected
Journey, and then evaporated after that. The presence of the Jurassic and Star
Wars movies, along with Skyfall, shows you can still wring plenty of money out
of long-in-the-tooth franchise.

Then there’s the superheroes. The Dark Knight movies officially ushered in the
era of big business for those who take their comic-book moviemaking seriously.
Marvel took a lighter step, focusing on interconnected stories that create
serious FOMO for those who skip the multiplex line, in movies like Avengers,
Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, and Black Panther.

Re-releases of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was enough to get it over
the edge, while Spider-Man: No Way Home had no problem swinging over the line!
In 2022, Top Gun: Maverick landed in the billion zone, followed by Jurassic
World: Dominion‘s slow crawl to the finish line. And James Cameron had one last
stocking stuffer: Avatar: The Way of Water.

And in 2023, Super Mario Bros. went and foot-stomped the competition, hitting
the billion-dollar goal in just 26 days. Then Barbie painted the world pink,
reaching the milestone in just 17 days, and becoming the highest-grossing movie
directed by a woman.

With 2024, Inside Out 2 shook off the box office doldrums (and revitalized
Pixar’s reputation as a theatrical studio) with its 19-day sprint to the billion
line, the fastest ever for an animated movie.

And if you want to go more in-depth, check out our article on The 50
Highest-Grossing Movies Ever, which includes some of those lesser specimens that
couldn’t quite break a billion. —Alex Vo

THE LION KING (2019)
52%

#46
Adjusted Score: 75275%

royal destiny on the plains of Africa. But... [More]
