From a Spielberg classic to beloved franchises, here are the other 52 movies that have earned over a billion dollars at the box office.

Avatar (2009) - $2,923,706,026

James Cameron is no stranger to making hit movies, but his ambitious CGI project Avatar was a massive gamble when it was released in 2009 due to its whopping $237 million budget. But thanks to a lush world, great action, and excellent performances by Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver and Zoe Saldaña, the movie became a smash hit. It’s held the title of the highest-grossing movie of all time for 14 years and counting.

Avengers: Endgame (2019) - $2,799,439,100

Avengers: Endgame picked up a few days after the previous film, Avengers: Infinity War, when Thanos erased half of all life in the universe. Endgame was made as the finale of the Avengers series (for now) and was filled with a surprisingly heavy dose of emotion for a superhero movie — including a certain hero’s tragic death at the end, which set fans and the internet ablaze.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) - $2,320,250,281

After 13 years, the world finally got to see Cameron’s long-awaited Avatar sequel. With newer CGI technology and a much deeper story, it proved to be well worth the wait, and The Way of Water became a massive hit around the globe. The film’s success has also paved the way for more sequels.

“I know what I’m going to be doing for the next six or seven years,” Cameron jokingly told Variety in early 2023 after The Way of Water crossed the $2 billion mark.

Titanic (1997) - $2,264,743,305

1997’s Titanic was the highest-grossing movie of all time for over a decade until the release of Avatar in 2009. What’s more impressive is that both films were directed by Cameron, who has directed three of the top five highest-grossing movies of all time.

The director told PEOPLE in 2012 that Leonardo DiCaprio almost turned down the part in Titanic. “His character doesn't go through torment, and Leo previously and subsequently in his career was always looking for that dark cloud,” Cameron said. Luckily, the director was able to convince DiCaprio to take the part.

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) - $2,071,310,218

A decade after Episode III premiered, the Star Wars franchise returned once again with The Force Awakens. The movie received tons of publicity, not only because it was the first new Star Wars film in a decade but also because its three original stars — Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill — all reprised their roles. Fisher was even able to star alongside her daughter, actress Billie Lourd. It remains the only Star Wars film to cross the $2 billion milestone.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018) - $2,052,415,039

Infinity War followed Thanos as he gathered the six Infinity Stones and concluded with “the snap," where he eliminated half of all life in the universe. The movie was also noticeable for its large ensemble cast, bringing together characters from The Avengers, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy and Dr. Strange franchises.

After the film’s premiere in 2018, Mark Ruffalo said that he didn’t know if his character, The Hulk, would survive the snap, admitting they did two takes, one where he survives and one where he doesn’t. Ruffalo said he was unaware of what ending they used until the premiere.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) - $1,921,847,111

Not only was Spider-Man: No Way Home a massive hit, but it also went viral for recreating one of the internet’s greatest memes.

Jurassic World (2015) - $1,671,537,444

The Lion King (2019) - $1,663,075,401

The original The Lion King from 1994 was a box office smash itself, earning over $968 million.

The Avengers (2012) - $1,520,538,536

Furious 7 (2015) - $1,515,341,399

Cruise told PEOPLE he had the entire cast film their scenes in actual airplanes rather than using CGI in order to make the movie look and feel more real. “I had to teach them how to first fly in a single-engine Cessna,” the actor said. “Then I put them in an airplane where they could do some aerobatics. Then a jet where they could pull serious Gs and feel what it's like with an ejector seat. The first day they're in the F-18, they're filming.”

Frozen II (2019) - $1,453,683,476

Just a few months after Disney unleashed the blockbuster The Lion King remake in 2019, it scored another massive hit with Frozen II.

Iron Man 3 (2013) - $1,215,577,205

“In the majority of the Marvel films, it’s clear to understand who’s right, who’s wrong,” the actor said. “In the first Captain America, Nazis are bad. First Avengers, aliens are no good. This is the first movie where it’s a little more parallel to the arguments we have in life where nobody’s right, nobody’s wrong. It’s just a matter of opinion. Where do you fall in the situation.”

Aquaman (2018) - $1,148,528,393
