10 Highest-Grossing Movies of All Time at Worldwide Box Office
- “Avatar” reclaimed last year its title as the biggest movie of all time with a re-release in China.
- “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is now the sixth biggest movie ever at the worldwide box office.
- Disney dominates the list of the top 10 highest-grossing movies ever.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” can’t be slowed down.
The Sony release became the No. 6 biggest movie of all time at the worldwide box office over the weekend. Its global box-office total is now $1.69 billion.
It still has a long way to go though if it wants to catch the movies in front of it, which have all made more than $2 billion.
“Avatar” took back last year its crown as the biggest movie in the world, topping Marvel’s “Avengers: Endgame,” over a decade after it was released.
The 2009 James Cameron-directed sci-fi film earned an additional $57.5 million when it was re-released in China in March 2021.
It’s still good news for Disney, though. The company, which owns Marvel, inherited the “Avatar” franchise when it acquired the Fox film studio in 2019.
Other Disney releases that are among the world’s biggest movies of all time include 2019’s “Lion King” remake and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
