Highest-Grossing Films of All Time
Eighty-six years of the all-time box office crown, from Gone with the Wind's quarter-century reign to Avatar's 2021 comeback past Avengers: Endgame. The top spot has changed hands only about ten times — usually to a film that rewrote what a hit could be, from Jaws' first summer blockbuster to Ne Zha 2's China-powered $2.2 billion.
