Highest Grossing Movies excluding China

Recommended Posts

I created this thread because I noticed that in addition to being able to easily know the gross of a film excluding USA and Canada (overseas/international gross), we also have a thread dedicated to the highest grossing movies excluding USA and China, but not one excluding China only

 

I think it makes sense also because it isn't only a very big market, at this point equal to the US, but it has grown very quickly so even "recent" films from just 10 years ago couldn't benefit from this market as much as those released more recently, making comparisons much more difficult. Here is the list:

 

 

1) Avatar: $2.660 Billion

2) Avengers: Endgame: $2.168 Billion

3) Titanic: $2.104 Billion

4) Avatar: The Way of Water: $2.074 Billion

5) Star Wars: The Force Awakens: $1.944 Billion

6) Spider Man: No Way Home: $1.917 Billion

7) Avengers: Infinity War: $1.678 Billion

8)The Lion King: $1.537 Billion

9) Top Gun Maverick: $1.493 Billion

10) Jurassic World: $1.442 Billion

11) The Avengers: $1.433 Billion

12) Barbie: $1.410 Billion

13) Super Mario Bros: $1.337 Billion

14) Frozen II: $1.328 Billion

15) Star Wars: The Last Jedi: $1.290 Billion

16) Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows 2: $1.281 Billion

17) Black Panther: $1.242 Billion

18) Frozen: $1.233 Billion

19) The Incredibles 2: $1.192 Billion

20) Beauty and the Beast: $1.178 Billion

21) The Avengers: Age Of Ultron: $1.163 Billion

22) The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: $1.132 Billion

23) Furious 7: $1.124 Billion

24) Iron-Man 3: $1.094 Billion

25) Minions: $1.091 Billion

26) Joker: $1.074 Billion

27) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: $1.066 Billion

28) Toy Story 3: $1.057 Billion

29) Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker: $1.054 Billion

30) Skyfall: $1.049 Billion

31) Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom: $1.048 Billion

32) Toy Story 4: $1.044 Billion

33) The Dark Knight Rises: $1.028 Billion

34) Alice in Wonderland: $1.025 Billion

35) Star Wars: The Phantom Menace: $1.023 Billion

36) The Dark Knight: $1.005 Billion

Some interesting facts and stats about the list: 

 

- The number of movies over one billion dollars falls from 52 to 35

 

- The year that loses the most movies is 2019, with Far From Home, Captain Marvel and Aladdin dropping off the ranking

 

- The best placed movie to leave the chart is The Fate of The Furious, previously in 23th position with 1.236B

 

- Similarly to the previous case, the film that loses the most positions is Furious 7, from 11th to 22th

 

- The movie who gains the most positions (16) is The Dark Knight

 

- Age of Ultron loses an important part of its gross and surprisingly is now lower than both Black Panther and Incredibles 2

Good list. Can we maybe expand it to the Top 50?

Curious what could be added this year. Probably 3-5 films break into the top 50. 

 

Yeah I think I could do it, even if initially I only wanted to have movies over one billion

 

In the meantime I can give a little "preview", the 34th film is Aladdin at about 990M

I was recollecting from a post on reddit in 2019 when both TLKs had the same worldwide numbers at some point.

This is not true? Fate of the Furious is the one to lose the highest share of its worldwide gross, 32%, if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah I meant among the films that are still in the chart, Fate left it so I haven't considered it anymore  : )

The Lion King has never crossed $1bn ww. The new BoxOfficeMojo is full of bullshit numbers and have so many errors (last week their put over $1bn for King Richard (2021) LOL). TLK during it's original run was about $456m OS / $768m WW, not $545.7m OS. They've added every re-releases to its first run and later mentioned them again. Mojo isn't reliable source anymore.

BoxOfficeMojo and TheNumbers seem to have no intention to update the international gross of No Way Home (stuck at one month ago), I guess at this point it has passed the 1.9 Billion but I don't have the confirmation...

There's no official confirmation yet from the trades. Just a random tweet stating Sony claimed it passed 1.9B at the Cinemacon. But that could just be that source rounding off 1.89B to 1.9B and the tweet mistaking it as a confirmation. Or it could be an Endgame like situation, where I believe China corrected its numbers by 3M or so making it the first 2.8B movie but Disney didn't bother updating it.
