Transformers: Age Of Extinction Tops 2014’s Global Box Office – But Which Movies Made The Top 10?

As it's the very last day of 2014, we thought we'd take a look back at the year and see which movies topped box offices all around the world!

Thanks to an official listed compiled by Box Office Mojo, we can now reveal that Transformers: Age Of Extinction was globally the best selling movie of 2014. It was the one and only film to generate a revenue over $1 billion this year and it follows in the footsteps of Iron Man 3 which made the most money worldwide in 2013.

With the help of robotic dinosaurs and some seriously awesome special effects, Transformers: Age of Extinction has also now earned its title as the 10th highest grossing film of all time. Pretty incredible right?

You can see which films made the top 10 and find out how much money they made below.

  • 1. Transformers: Age of Extinction - $1,087,404,500
  • 2. Guardians of the Galaxy - $772,462,030
  • 3. Maleficent - $757,752,378
  • 4. X-Men: Days of Future Past - $746,045,700
  • 5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier - $714,083,572
  • 6. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - $708,982,323
  • 7. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - $708,299,389
  • 8. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay (Part 1) - $671,939,828
  • 9. Interstellar - $648,780,502
  • 10. How to Train Your Dragon 2 - $618,909,935

Whilst we haven't yet watched all of the movies in the top 10, we're definitely going to give them all a chance at some point and can't wait to see if they live up to the hype. Guardians of the Galaxy, The Amazing Spider-man 2 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 were some of our personal favourites here at OnePopz this year.

Box Office Mojo's list contains over 300 movies and you can view it in its entirety here. We're surprised that 'The Fault In Our Stars' only made it to number 24 but perhaps it wasn't quite as popular in other countries.

2014 was a great year for the film industry and there's already lots of movies that we literally can't wait to see on the big screen in 2015. Some of the films that we're most excited about include: Jurassic World, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay (Part 2), Taken 3, Insurgent and 50 Shades Of Grey.
