Here are the biggest box office hits of the 2010s. With streaming services rising in prominence this decade, it's apparent people's movie viewing habits have drastically changed from 10 years ago. At the same time, audiences have shown they're still more than willing to make the trek to the theater to catch a new film - especially if it's from one of Hollywood's most popular franchises. This decade saw the Marvel Cinematic Universe establish itself as the industry's premier powerhouse, the return of Star Wars, and much more.

As of this writing, 43 movies in history have grossed $1 billion or more globally. When the 2010s started, that number was only at 7. That means the films on this list aren't just the biggest smashes of the past decade; they're some of the highest-grossing films of all-time. Without further ado, here are the 15 biggest box office hits of the 2010s (and yes, Disney will be quite prevalent in this space).

15. INCREDIBLES 2



Box office: $1.242 billion ($608.5 million domestic)

In the 2000s, Pixar was widely known for crafting heartfelt original stories, but they frequently visited the sequel pool in the 2010s. After years of clamoring, the highly-anticipated Incredibles 2 arrived in summer 2018, and it did not disappoint. While it may not have been as fresh as its groundbreaking predecessor, many felt it was a strong followup that made the wait well worth it. Viewers were certainly glad to see the superhero family back in action. Its opening weekend of $182.6 million was a record for animated films, and larger than some live-action comic book films. If Pixar ever decides to make an Incredibles 3, there's guaranteed interest.

14. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST



Box office: $1.263 billion ($504 million domestic)

As if the Mouse House didn't make enough money from their various subsidiaries, they struck another goldmine by producing remakes of some of their most beloved animated classics. There will come a time when this well dries up, but for now they're reaping the benefits. Beauty and the Beast is by far one of the most successful of the bunch, overcoming a lukewarm critical reception to illustrate nostalgia is a powerful box office force. In the United States, this was the second highest-grossing movie of 2017, ahead of Wonder Woman, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and others.

13. FROZEN



Box office: $1.274 billion ($400.7 million domestic)

Before Frozen came out, Disney's in-house animation department was struggling to keep up with Pixar, which was an unstoppable behemoth at this point. Even a critical darling like the original Wreck-it Ralph could only muster $186.8 million domestically during its run in 2012. Of course, Frozen was the smash hit Disney Animation needed, becoming their biggest title yet. The film absolutely seized the zeitgeist when it came out, thanks in large part to its omnipresent soundtrack. The upcoming sequel is expected to be just as big of a draw.

12. JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM



Box office: $1.308 billion ($417.7 million domestic)

When the first Jurassic World (more on that film in a bit) went on its record-breaking run in the summer of 2015, it was obvious the new trilogy Universal was planning would see the light of day. Last summer, Fallen Kingdom came out, and though it didn't receive the best reviews, audiences showed they still crave dinosaur action. In 2018, it ranked among the four highest-grossing films worldwide and domestically, being the rare non-Disney film to position at the top of the charts.
