The Greatest Movie Hits of All Time
The film "Avatar" tops the list of the greatest movie hits of all time, having generated billion U.S. dollars in box office revenue since its release in December 2009. "Avatar" is an adventure and science fiction film. James Cameron, the film's director, has two other films in the top 10, including "Titanic," which ranks third, and the second installment of Avatar released at the end of 2022. The list also includes other well-known films such as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part )"; "Frozen"; and "The Lion King." Although comedy is the most effective and most popular genre in North America between 1995 and 2012, there are few comedies in the ranking of the biggest movie hits of all time.
The films listed above are ranked based on the box office revenue generated. Box office revenue is one of the most important measures in the film industry to evaluate a film's commercial success—it corresponds to the money generated from ticket sales during the film's theatrical run. The global film industry generated billion U.S. dollars in revenue in 2012, while the American film industry generated billion U.S. dollars, making the American film market the most profitable in the world. That year, nearly million U.S. dollars were collected from ticket sales in North America.
