The 60 Movies That Have Made More Than $1 Billion At The Global Box Office
The Walt Disney Studios reached a major milestone today as 20th Century Studios’ Avatar: Fire and Ash officially crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office. James Cameron continues to redefine commercial success; with this latest entry, the Avatar series becomes one of the rarest triple-threat franchises in history, with every installment having surpassed $1 billion.
This achievement marks the third Disney-led release to hit the billion-dollar ceiling in 2025, following the success of Zootopia 2 and Lilo & Stitch, starring Maia Kealoha, Sydney Agudong, and Chris Sanders, which previously reached the billion-dollar mark, alongside the 2024 hits, Disney’s animated Inside Out 2 and Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
