Highest Grossing Movies of All Time

About This Dataset

Highest Grossing Movies of All Time
Films ranked by their worldwide box office gross revenue, not adjusted for inflation. Avatar (2009) holds the all-time record, having reclaimed the top spot from Avengers: Endgame after a 2022 re-release pushed its total past $2.9 billion.
Analysis

The gap between the top two films, 'Avatar' and 'Avengers: Endgame', is significant, with 'Avatar' leading by $124 million. This reflects not only the enduring popularity of James Cameron's work but also the impact of re-releases in boosting box office figures. Interestingly, 'Avatar: The Way of Water' has already secured its place among the top three, demonstrating the franchise's continued relevance. Meanwhile, newer entries like 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' and 'Inside Out 2' indicate a strong ongoing interest in cinematic experiences, though they still trail behind the established giants. The trend suggests that franchises with loyal fanbases and innovative marketing strategies are likely to dominate future box office rankings.

How the figures are calculated
  • Values are shown as reported by the source. Nothing is rescaled, rebased or converted — the only changes are thousand separators and decimals shown to two places.
  • Missing years are left empty rather than estimated — no interpolation, no carrying a previous year forward.
  • Change is measured between the first and last year in which an entity actually reported a value, so a series that starts late is not penalised for the years before it existed.
  • The compound annual rate is (last ÷ first)^(1 ÷ years) − 1, using those same two reported years.
  • Entities are ranked highest-first on their value in 2024.
  • An entity that reported nothing in the latest year is still listed — it follows the ranked entities in the table rather than being dropped.
