US Top 9 Grossing Films 1. Titanic (1997) As
well as making Celine Dion the most listened to woman in the
world for a short period. Titanic grossed $600.788 following
it's release in December 1997. Strange considering we all
knew how it was going to end. 2. Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope (1977) Despite
being called Episode IV this was actually the first
installment of the incredibly successful Star Wars series.
Still popular today. Has earned a total of $460.998 and this
figure will no doubt continue to rise. 3. Shrek 2 (2004) Cartoon
ogres with famous voices, a donkey sidekick and a twisted
fairytale all combined to net this film a massive $436.471
at the box office. 4.
E.T
- The Extra Terrestrial (1982) 5. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) The
first of the three long awaited prequels to the Star Wars
trilogy grossed $431.088 at the box office but was widely
criticised - mainly as it was crap! 6. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) The
second film in the 'Pirates' trilogy made even more money
than the first film. It grossed $423.416 at the box
office. 7. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) The
surprise summer hit of made $422.476 at the American box
office and resurrected the career of Johnny Depp. 8. Spiderman (2004) Comic
book geeks and those wanting to see Tobey Maguire in Lycra
helped this top the box office charts in the summer of 2004.
It went on to gross $407.681. 9. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) The last of the six Star
Wars films earned $380.271 at the box office. Despite
disappointment at the prequels fans flocked to watch this in
droves as it aimed to tie up all the lose ends between the
prequels and the 1977 film - not least Anakin turning into
Darth Vader. |
