Top 100 Box Office Movies Of All Time  list of the highest top grossing films of all time

The highest-grossing films of all time include action films, superhero films, animation films, and more. The majority, though, have one thing in common: they’re all part of a larger brand.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe, James Bond, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, Middle-Earth, Harry Potter, Transformers, and any other famous pop-culture series are all beloved worldwide.

That makes the top two films on the list, which are both original films that aren’t yet part of a series, all the more shocking. However, the lesson here is to put your faith in James Cameron.

From “Black Panther” to “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” the highest-grossing films of all time include a mix of both acclaimed and critically derided films. The list demonstrates that, regardless of what critics say, viewers will see a film, and that excellent films may still make a lot of money.

Based on international box office figures from Box Office Mojo, we’ve compiled a list of the 100 most popular films of all . We’ve also included the films’ Rotten Tomatoes critic scores, as well as how much they made in the United States before and after inflation. Because the global figures aren’t adjusted for inflation, the list is skewed toward newer films and away from classics like “Gone with the Wind,” which are still popular.

The following list is the highest grossing films and the top 100 grossing films  box  office of all time:
