Top Grossing Movies of 2010
I actually saw this list in EW. I think it's fascinating that more than half of these movies are family films (even if you don't count Harry Potter in that category, which is a tough call). Big, big money in movies for kids.
The list below shows shows domestic gross and release date (in parentheses). Harry Potter will probably move up the list, since it will make money over the holiday vacation.
Side note - the natural break in this data is probably between 9 and 10, since the rest of the top 20 grossed between $100K and $200K, and the difference is about $35M compared to about $15M between 8-9, 7-8, 6-7.
1 Toy Story 3 - $415,004,880 (6/18/10)
2 Alice in Wonderland (2010) - $334,191,110 (3/5/10)
3 Iron Man 2 - $312,128,345 (5/7/10)
4 The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - $300,531,751 (6/30/10)
5 Inception - $292,485,544 (7/16/10)
6 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 - $265,546,000 (11/19/10)
7 Despicable Me - $250,488,000 (7/9/10)
8 Shrek Forever After - $238,395,990 (5/21/10)
9 How to Train Your Dragon - $217,581,231 (3/26/10)
10 The Karate Kid - $176,591,618 (6/11/10)
Also interesting is that this list is somewhat different when it's ordered by worldwide gross, though the top 2 are the same and it's still 1/2 family films:
1 Toy Story 3 - $1,063,143,492
2 Alice in Wonderland - $1,024,299,722
3 Inception - $825,408,570
4 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 - $824,146,000
5 Shrek Forever After - $737,441,993
6 The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - $693,480,124
7 Iron Man 2 - $621,751,988
8 Despicable Me - $538,822,315
9 Clash of the Titans - $493,214,993
10 How to Train Your Dragon - $493,206,739
