Which films have earned the most at the box office worldwide? In this guessing game, true blockbusters go head to head – every film on the list has grossed more than one billion US dollars. The differences are often surprisingly small, so a good feel for successful films and big sequels can be more helpful than knowing exact figures.
Box office results are given in US dollars and are usually not adjusted for inflation. As a result, older films can fare worse in such comparisons, even though they reached a huge audience in their day.
Later re-releases can also increase the total earnings. That is why our figures are rounded approximations – perfect for putting your film knowledge to the test in the guessing game.
All values are rounded approximations (as of 2024/25) meant for fun, not as a factual source.
