Have you ever wondered how popular your favorite films are? I always wonder if the movies that I love are loved by other people as well. On www.imdb.com, you can see the list of All-Time Worldwide Box Office. This website will show you the highest selling movie of all time all the way to the lowest. The list consists of three hundred and twenty five different films. I looked at the list and counted one hundred and fifty nine movies that I have seen on that list.
It is really interesting to see how much money all of these different movies made at the box office. It should come at no surprise that the number one movie of all time at the box office is Titanic. I don’t know how many of you have seen this film, but it does not come as a shock to me that it made $1,835,300,000 (www.imdb.com).
The Top 10 on this list are (www.imdb.com):
1) Titanic
2) The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
3) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
4) Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
5) Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
6) Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix
7) Star Wars Episode I- The Phantom Menace
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
9) Jurassic Park
10) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
After looking at the list, it seems that the most popular films, are the first and sequals of a movie. I imagine this is because many people are so interested to see what will happen next. To check out more of the list go to www.imdb.com.
It is interesting that Titanic is the best selling movie. I don’t think that would have been my first guess. It’s also interesting because it is the only movie on the top ten list that was based on a true story.

That’s so interesting that you can go on there and see all the movies and how much money they have made. I would believe that Titanic would be first on the list because I can still remember when that movie came out and everyone was like going crazy over it. I know that I went and saw it as soon as I could and loved it.

Yeah that is suprsing that Titanic is on the top of the list. I never would of thought that it would be the best sold movie. It is pretty interesting that most of the movies on the list are all sequals of other movies too. I agree with you, because I feel like those movies are only on the list because simply want to see what will happen next.
