Spider-Man sinks Titanic: Inside the highest-grossing movies ever

As of September 2026, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' has surpassed James Cameron's 'Titanic' to become the fifth-highest-grossing film globally, marking the first time since 2010 that 'Titanic' has fallen outside the top five. This shift reflects the ongoing dominance of modern blockbuster films at the box office, though it does not account for inflation. 'Ne Zha 2,' a Chinese animated film, holds the number-five spot as the highest-grossing non-English-language film in history, achieving over $1.38 billion in revenue primarily within China. Its success was bolstered by patriotic sentiment and social media campaigns encouraging repeated viewings. 'Avatar: The Way of Water,' the sequel to James Cameron's 2009 film, remains in the top four, drawing audiences with its advanced visual effects and immersive experience.
