Top 10 Highest Grossing Hollywood Movies of 2016

It is the beginning of a new year and I decided to put up this list of the top grossing/top selling movies of last year, 2016. The number one the list is well deserved, and is my very best movie of the year. It is also interesting to know that there are three animated movies on the list.

Please note that the numbers in bracket below represent the amount the movies made worldwide, and not domestic sales alone.



10.Suicide Squad (745 million worldwide)

9.  Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (778 million worldwide)

8.  Deadpool (783 million worldwide)

7.  Rogue One (838 million worldwide)

6.  Batman Versus Superman: Dawn of Justice (873 million worldwide)

Top 6 Biggest Selling Movies of 2016 So Far

We have crossed the half-mark of the year, and I thought it would be cool to list the top 6 biggest selling movies of 2016 so far. By the way, when I say biggest selling, I mean highest grossing at the box office. The figures I used to rank them are based on global sales, and not American sales alone. Okay, let's kick off with number 6 on the list.




6.  Finding Dory ($644 million)
Coincidentally, I just watched this movie last night. It made me really long for its prequel, Finding Nemo, which is one of my best animation movies of all time. Dory played a major part in helping Nemo's Dad find Nemo in Finding Nemo, and in this movie, she is on a quest to find her own parents. A very funny and emotional movie. Ellen Degeneres is the one behind Dory's voice in the movie (and in Finding Nemow too). I think this (along with other elements) helped with the movie do so well. By the way, Finding Nemo is the 35th biggest selling movie of all time, with  a global gross of 936 million in ticket sales.

Okay, back to Finding Dory. The movie was released on the 17th of June, just about four weeks ago. It is barely one month old and it has already sold so many tickets. It has currently grossed 644 million in ticket sales globally, and would definitely hit the 700 million mark in a few weeks.
