Some of you CBMers feel 2013 wasn't a particularly good year for our beloved comic book films, and obviously in terms of overall quality that's a debate worth having...but one thing is for sure, they certainly made quite a bit of coin! The Times has released a list of the top 10 highest grossing films of 2013, and with a whopping $1,215,439,994 worldwide box office gross,
Iron Man 3 takes the top spot. The rest of the list is, predictably enough, made up of big budget sci-fi/action movies and animated adventures. At 2 there's
Despicable Me 2, 3)
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, 4)
Man of Steel, 5)
Monsters University, 6)
Gravity, 7)
Fast & Furious 6, 8)
Oz the Great and Powerful, 9)
Star Trek Into Darkness and at 10 we have
World War Z.
NOTE: Although Iron Man 3 is sure to be safe at the top, the likes of Thor: The Dark World and The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug will likely impact this list in some way come December 31st, so we'll have an update around then.
