There have been a lot of fantastic movies that have come out since the year 2000. Some of the biggest blockbusters of all-time have wowed audiences and taken home a ton of money. Read on to learn what the highest-grossing movies are since 2000. You might know some of them already due to how recent they are, but some might surprise you.
Avengers: Endgame
Avengers: Endgame was definitely one of the most anticipated movies of all-time. After the ending of Avengers: Infinity War, audiences were clamoring to see what was going to happen to their favorite on-screen superheroes. The film wound up grossing 2.791 billion dollars before all was said and done. It’s certainly going to be one of the highest-grossing films of all-time for a while with numbers like that.
Avatar
James Cameron definitely made waves when he released Avatar back in 2009. You might remember this being a huge hit, but a lot of people don’t talk about this movie today despite many sequels still being in development. Whether you remember it fondly or not, this movie did gross 2.782 billion dollars, and that makes it the second highest-grossing movie of all-time right now behind Avengers: Endgame.
Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens
Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens was met with quite a bit of excitement when it came out. This was to be the first new Star Wars movie that took place after the original trilogy of films that took the world by storm. It was a movie that tugged at the heartstrings and called back to the glory days of the franchise. Audiences ate it up to the tune of 2.068 billion dollars.
Avengers: Infinity War
To the surprise of no one, Avengers: Infinity War has also made this list due to making 2.048 billion dollars. It is still the fourth highest-grossing movie of all-time as of the time of writing. It set things up for Avengers: Endgame and is one of the most dramatic endings to a mainstream movie since Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. This one had everybody talking back in 2018, and along with Endgame, it felt like the culmination of so many years of great Marvel movies.
Jurassic World
Finally, Jurassic World takes the fifth spot on this list having earned 1.670 billion dollars. This was the return of the blockbuster Jurassic Park franchise, and it took things in a slightly new direction with star Chris Pratt as a professional raptor trainer. It’s a good film that has all of the summer blockbuster action that you could hope for. The Jurassic World series continues to push forward, and fans look forward to seeing the next film where favorite actors such as Jeff Goldblum will return.
