It's been a while since any movie has troubled the all-time top five at the worldwide box office, but Avatar: The Way of Water is making just as big of a box-office splash as the record-breaking first movie.

James Cameron's Avatar remains the biggest movie of all time, having retaken its crown from Avengers: Endgame with a re-release in 2021 in China after losing it in 2019. But where does his long-awaited sequel currently rank on the all-time list, and what other films are among the biggest movies ever?

Featuring the biggest franchises around from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Worlds of DC to Star Wars and Fast & Furious, here are the 25 highest-grossing movies at the box-office worldwide.

Note - Box-office data is accurate as of January 22, 2023. All figures are from Box Office Mojo and are not adjusted for inflation.
