We all know that Hollywood is a money-making business. With the glitz and glamor, celebrities, and red-carpet events, movies are nothing short of picturesque and flashy. Movie characters are every kid’s idol: just walk around the toy section at any department store for proof. From Jurassic World to Minions, we uncover the movies that made over a billion dollars in revenue. Can you even imagine what that kind of money looks like?!

Jurassic World - $1,671,537,444
Set 22 years after the initial story of Jurassic Park (1993), Jurassic World follows the "What if Jurassic Park reopened?" plot. Box office sales suggest that this film was a roaring success, but the whole movie gives off an "I've seen this before and it was better the first time" vibe.

Even with a cast with dreamy Chris Pratt as Owen Grady, Jurassic World felt like a reboot of the classic Jurassic Park franchise. This movie shows off impressive CGI that makes up for the mediocre plotline, though.
