The Highest-Grossing Films In History

‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows’ Part 2 became a record holder which madethe largest single day box office in history gaining $92.1 million during Friday on July 15. It also replace ‘The Dark Knight’ – the previous leader of the movies which made the biggest opening weekend box office of all time. Over the three-day weekend, ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows’ Part 2 made $168.55 million! The movie does its best to occupy a rightful place among the highest-grossing films in history. It has already trumped ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’. The next “victim” of ‘Harry Potter’ will be ‘Toy Story 3’. Will the cartoon constrain the pressure, or ‘Harry Potter’ will take a chance to enter the top three highest-grossing movies?

Interesting facts:

• George Cameron is the only director whose two movies, ‘Avatar’ and ‘Titanik’, take the first and the second positions in the top highest-grossing films in history.
• ’Avatar’ is the only movie which made more than $2 billion
• Johnny Depp is the only actor played in three movies which made more than $1 billion.
• ’Toy Story 3’ is an absolute record holder among cartoons making more than $1 billion.
