Bing Blockbuster Movies Quiz – Box Office and Big Moments
Blockbusters are the films that fill cinemas around the world. They often launch franchises, set records and change how movies are made. Yet the story behind a blockbuster is often more surprising than its opening weekend.
Jaws in 1975 is often called the first summer blockbuster, and Star Wars in 1977 started one of the biggest franchises in history. Jurassic Park in 1993 showed what computer-generated effects could do, and Titanic and Avatar went on to break box office records.
Franchises dominate the modern era. Avengers: Endgame closed Marvel's Infinity Saga, the Harry Potter books became eight films and The Dark Knight earned Heath Ledger an Oscar for playing the Joker. Top Gun: Maverick showed that a sequel could arrive decades later and still be a hit.
New records keep appearing. Barbie was the highest-grossing film of 2023, and Ne Zha 2 from China became the highest-grossing animated movie ever in 2025. Avatar still holds the overall worldwide record.
