It is a well-known fact that superhero movies are money-making machines for the studios. There is such a big fan following of superhero movies that studios have to just bring together a bunch of great CGI artists, a decent director at the helm, throw some marketing money, and lo behold, a blockbuster is born. The formula is so simple — even though expensive — that studios just keep milking it. Not every time they succeed. But more often than not they do, as this list will show. We have already ranked superhero movies based on their merit (read it here).
Today we are going to rank them as per their box office collections. Please remember that this is overall worldwide box office collections. That necessarily doesn’t reflect how profitable the film was.
