6. READY PLAYER ONE ($582 MILLION)
Despite lots of hand-wringing over its nostalgia-focused marketing strategy, Steven Spielberg's latest blockbuster adaptation of a novel ended up debuting to mostly positive reviews from both critics (74% on RT) and fans. Ready Player One has racked up $137 million domestically, along with a huge $445 million internationally.
5. DEADPOOL 2 ($734 MILLION)
Considering how just tremendously successful the original Deadpool film proved to be in 2016, it was never really in doubt that FOX's sequel Deadpool 2 would do well at the box office. While Deadpool 2 didn't quite succeed in breaking its predecessor's record for highest R-rated domestic opening weekend, the gore and profanity filled romp did succeed in outpacing the first movie worldwide, opening to over $300 million. While Wade Wilson is unlikely to make it any higher on this particular list, the Merc with a Mouth has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.
4. INCREDIBLES 2 ($1.14 BILLION)
After a nearly 15-year wait, Pixar's beloved superhero comedy The Incredibles has received a sequel. A hit with critics (94% on RT), Incredibles 2 is wasting no time climbing this list, as if it were leaping a tall building in a single bound. The Brad Bird-directed film has earned over $1 billion at the box office, easily outperforming many people's expectations. Incredibles 2 quickly vaulted past the first movie, both domestically and worldwide, vastly outdoing its predecessor's total gross of $633 million.
3. JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM ($1.30 BILLION)
2015's original Jurassic World film has become a bit of an odd case, drawing decent critical acclaim and making ridiculous amounts of cash at the box office, but being bashed nearly any time it's discussed online today. While sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom came up far short of fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 51% score, its financial prospects look almost as good as its predecessor's. With a $150 million domestic opening weekend in the books, Fallen Kingdom has banked a massive $1 billion-plus worldwide.
2. BLACK PANTHER ($1.35 BILLION)
At this point, industry prognosticators have learned not to bet against the success of an MCU film. Everyone knew Black Panther would be a seismic hit, but even so, few initially predicted just how insanely successful the Wakanda-set superhero adventure would become. Black Panther is now the highest-grossing comic book film of all-time in the U.S., and is gaining on that title worldwide. Critics also fell in love with T'Challa's solo debut, affording it a lofty 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes. When the inevitable sequel finally arrives, look for similar results.
