Who could avoid the story of Middle-earth?
Fantasy has long won the hearts of viewers all over the world: it is an ideal genre to escape from the routine at least for a short time and into the worlds of sword and sorcery. Many films in this genre became box office hits and attracted millions of viewers to the cinemas.
It’s no exaggeration to say that The Lord of the Rings was one of those hits, but if you thought it had a strong hold on the top spot, you’re in for a surprise. Despite its cult status, the trilogy didn’t even crack the top 5 highest-grossing fantasy films of all time. So who came in? Check out our list of the top 10 highest-grossing fantasy films in history and find out.
Of course, it would be strange to expect another popular magical franchise not to be on this list, right? “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2”, the final film in the series, deservedly finished in the top three: the fans’ love for this film is still very strong, and when it first hit theaters, it was such an emotional and important event for everyone.
But the undisputed leader of the selection were the animated films of the Frozen franchise. Yes, the first part could not beat ‘Deathly Hallows’, but the sequel turned out to be a real triumph. Nearly one and a half billion receipts and even more toys and merchandise sold guaranteed Disney an incredible income and viewers a new chapter of their favorite story.
