The 2025 box office has already delivered some massive hits, with A Minecraft Movie and Lilo and Stitch captivating global audiences. But one movie towers above them all. Let’s break down the top-grossing films of 2025 (so far), from fifth place to the current box office queen:
#5. Captain America: Brave New World — $415 Million
Anthony Mackie’s first solo outing as Captain America brought plenty of action and star power to the MCU. While not breaking records, it still managed to pull in a solid $415 million worldwide, keeping Marvel’s momentum alive.
#4. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning — $454 Million
Tom Cruise returned to his spy franchise, delivering action-packed scenes and massive special effects. Though it earned $454 million globally, it landed lower on the list compared to previous installments, but still proved Ethan Hunt has loyal fans.
#3. Lilo and Stitch — $781 Million
Disney’s live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch turned into a box office phenomenon, earning around $781 million since its May release. After a strong Memorial Day debut, it now holds the record for the highest-grossing live-action and animation hybrid ever.
#2. A Minecraft Movie — $951 Million
Who knew a pixelated video game could dominate theaters? A Minecraft Movie turned its virtual world into big-screen money, earning $951 million worldwide since April and setting a record for the biggest U.S. opening weekend for a video game adaptation.
#1. Ne Zha 2 — $1.89 Billion
The biggest box office hit of 2025 so far is Ne Zha 2, a Chinese animated fantasy that has raked in just under $1.9 billion globally. With 98.9% of its revenue coming from outside the U.S. — mostly China — it’s not only the top-grossing film of the year but the highest-earning animated film ever.
