The Avatar film, The Way of Water, has knocked classic Titanic out of the top three most successful films in history. In the Netherlands, more than 1.5 million people have already visited the cinema to admire the science fiction film on the silver screen. Due to the great popularity, the top five films that made the most money are also being rearranged. Which are these? MASTERS lists them.
When a new threat to the galaxy arises from the evil Kylo Ren and the First Order, Rey and Finn, an ex-stormtrooper, must join Han Solo and Chewbacca to restore peace. This will sound familiar to many people, but it may surprise you that hard Star Wars fans are also concerned that this is the only film from this series in the top five. However, this has a logical explanation; The price for a cinema ticket used to be lower, which means the total revenue is also lower. In total, Star Wars: Episode Vll: TheForce Awakens earned $2.071.310.218 – at current rates – €1.94 billion.

On December 19, it was exactly 25 years ago that viewers were able to enjoy the dramatic love story for the first time. The film will soon return to celebrate this anniversary and will be released in 4K and 3D.
Jake Sully and Ney'tiri have formed a family and are doing everything they can to stay together. They explore the mysteries of Pandora after having to leave their home.

Avengers Endgame is the most successful film ever with a worldwide gross of € 2.6 billion. A lot of profit was made, because the production costs amounted to € 331 million. As the title suggests, Avengers Endgame is the final film in the Avengers series. In the finale, the audience got to see whether the Avengers, together with Captain Marvel and Ant-Man, will succeed in definitively defeating Thanos. The film was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo.
