10 BILLION DOLLAR MOVIES IN 2025

The movie industry has recently produced movies that have smashed past the billion dollar mark and this year might just be biggest year of them all with major franchises set to release their biggest movie yet 2025 might just be a historic year when it comes to the success of the movie industry but first we must acknowledge some of that barely did not qualify for the top 10. 

Honourable mentions:

F1:

One of the movies that barely did not qualify for the top 10 was The new F1 Movie that is starring Major Actors such as Brad Pitt and Damson Idris this movie is said to have one of the highest budget of a movie ever surpassing $300 Million this movies is targeting an massive Global audience that is expanding rapidly in major Markets like the South America and Asia due to the wildly popular Netflix Series Drive to survive. 


Mission: Impossible-The Final Reckoning:

With the Major movie Franchise coming to an end Mission: Impossible-The Final Reckoning Starring Major Movie star Tom Cruise has the possibility to make a Billion Dollars however No Mission Impossible movie has ever made 1 Billion dollars with Mission Impossible Fallout grossing $791 Million worldwide making it the highest grossing movie in the Franchise,



Karate Kids: Legends:

The Karate Kid movies are iconic movies and apart of movie history, with this movie starring Major actor's Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio and the recent smashing performance of the Netflix Produced spin series Cobra Kai this Movie may be able to hit 1 Billion dollars due to all of these factors. That being said I highly doubt this Movie reaching the 1 Billion Dollar Mark but there is still a chance and deserves to be mentioned.



Wicked Part 2:

Wicked Part 2 a sequel to the Wicked movie has cultivated a massive fan base and after the success of the movie doing well in the box office and the popularity of the Musical play and its star filled cast it does have the potential to make 1 billion dollars.



Top 10:

10.How to train your dragon:

 With live action remakes of animated movies performing well in the box office, the how train your dragons franchise has been wildly successful in the movie and tv industry and so a live action remake that contains movie that is nostalgia filled and Dragons will definitely do well in the box office because it has dragons that's all I have to say. The VFX works appear to be great in the trailer and the soundtrack is one of the most iconic soundtracks ever produced. I do believe this movie has the ability to hit the 1 billion dollar mark as long as it is a good movie, if this movie is not received well by the audience this dramatically affect its chance of performing as well in the Box Office


9.Thunderbolts:

A movie that is being produced by Marvel Studios automatically increases its odds of being able to make 1 billion dollars, however the Thunderbolts are not a popular superhero group now this clearly hasn't stopped Marvel from turning unknown groups into massively success Movies as we have seen with the Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy and the Avengers. With the recent reception of the by the general audience and Critics Marvel movies have not been accepted well generally creating a wave of mistrust by the general public in Marvel Studios and the Projects they have released recently. I do believe this New mistrust in Marvel Studios could have an affect in if the Movie is not received well, however the Promotion of this movie has been Amazing with a great trailer show in the Superbowl.


8.Minecraft:

Studios have realized that making movies based on Games are easy money pumps and what Game turned Movie will Produce more Money then the highest selling Video Game ever. The cast is filled with major Actors such as Jack Black and Jason Momoa and this movie is most likely to lead to a bunch of sequel movies and increase Minecraft product sales. Their has been franchises like the Sonic the Hedgehog Movies, The Super Mario Movies, The Tomb Raiders Movies and the Angry Birds Movie that have set a Precedent that the return on investment on making Movies based on Video Games are extremely high and I do believe it is very likely to do well, however the promotion of this movie has dramatically affected it's stock by the general audience. 


7.Snow white:

The Snow White movie is one of the most iconic Films in Film History and so the first Live action Remake of Snow White will be extremely Successful especially in the International market. We have seen movies like Maleficent do extremely well and so a more Iconic Character will do extremally well especially with the cast being filled with major A list actors, however the recent controversy surrounding the main actor Rachel Zegler has had a negative affect in the eyes of the public but I do believe this will not affect the overall box office as the average consumer is not aware of the controversy surrounding actress of Snow White. 



6.Superman:

The most Iconic Superhero ever is Superman and a superhero movie being directed by James Gunn a man who has produced 3 extremely successful superhero movies and so this automatically promotes this movie to being highly likely to achieve 1 billion dollars worldwide. However the recent history with The DC Universe and the lack of consumers confidence in that Franchise due to the dark tones applied by Zac Synder in the Movies such as Man of Steel was not greatly received by the general audience very well and this has led to massive mistrust in the DC Universe and all it's assets. However the trailer for Superman broke many records showing that their is a desire for a Superman movie and their is major confidence that James Gunn can deliver this. If this movies does make 1 Billion Dollars it will be the first Superman Movie that does generate 1 Billion ever .


5.The Fantastic Four: First Steps:

Now Marvel has done an amazing Job with making the Avengers an household name, however when we look at the more successful superhero groups the Avengers were viewed as B Tier group and the Fantastic Four were A-tier prior to the production of the movies. We can clearly see that it is quite easy for Marvel to gross over 1 Billion Dollars with recent films Like Deadpool and Wolverine passing that mark and so I do believe that an Iconic group such as The Fantastic Four will be able to generate over a Billion Dollars especially with the narrative that the future of The MCU ( Marvel Cinematic Universe ) is dependant on the success of this movie, I do believe that will drive people to go on watch the Movie. That being said previous Fantastic Four movies have not done that well in the box office which clearly shows that there isn't the biggest hunger for a Fantastic Four movie, but the cast is filled with A list actors and it is a movie produced by Marvel Studios raising the movies Stock in the eyes in the public.


4.Jurassic World: Rebirth:

The Jurassic World Franchise is a staple when we talk about Franchise that grosses over 1 billion per movie as their past 3 Jurassic world movie grossing over 1 billion each that being said each movie their has been significant drop in the box office showing their was clearly a significant drop in viewers interested in this franchise. Now that being said the Jurassic World movies are spectacles that will always attract viewers and with an amazing cast containing a 2 time Oscar winning Actor Mahershala Ali and one of the biggest Box Office pulls Scarlett Johansson being the leads of this movie will definitely produce the hype needed to pull a massive audience and help surpass that 1 Billion Dollar mark. The Jurassic World Franchise is a staple in Hollywood and makes it very easy for it gross over 1 Billion in the box office.


3.Lilo and Stich:


Another Live action remake of an iconic animated movie is something that this year is covered with and I do believe that this will be the highest grossing box office movie for an live action remake this year and one reason for this is that this movie's demographic is not limited any singular group with this movie appealing the older demographic due to pure nostalgia whilst also attracting the younger demographic allowing families to take their kids to the Theatres. In addition the Superbowl trailer did a really good job at giving the general audience something to be hooked at whilst also making them aware of the movies release. This movie looked extremely visually pleasing in the trailer and the overall of affect could in turn to lead to massive increase in sale of Lilo and Stich merchandise making them more money that the movie itself.


2.Zootopia 2:


With the previous movie doing over 1 billion in the box office Disney has clearly seen the amount of money Animated sequel can generate with Moana 2 generating over 1 Billion. This movie is extremely anticipated by it's younger fan base and with its star filled cast it is almost inevitable to smash past the billion dollar mark in the box office. When the trailer is released I do expect it to exceptionally well and Disney did do well with merchandising and the original Zootopia film doing well on Disney's streaming service Disney Plus this movie sequel will do well.


 1.Avatar: Fire and Ash:


With its exceptional visual the Avatar Franchise is a guaranteed box office hit with the first Avatar Movie Grossing $2.923 Billion and the second Avatar movie grossing $2.32 Billion, Avatar: Fire and Ash is GUARNTEED to surpass 1 billion dollars in the box office and almost guaranteed to make over 2 Billion Dollars in the box office. The cast is filled with stars and is definitely the most anticipated movie of the year with Avtar: Way of Water being a better movie than the original maybe this movie can be better than Way of Water. The Avtar Franchise is as close you can get to making a money printing machine as you can get when it comes to the movie industry and so for this movie to be in first place on this list is a guarantee and the real question is can Avtar: Fire and Ash be the first film to reach 3 BILLION DOLLARS?
