These movies brought in a lot of money

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 already visited cinemas to admire the science fiction film on the big screen.

5. Star Wars: Episode Vll: TheForce Awakens

However, this has a logical explanation; back in the day, the price of a movie ticket was lower, so the overall revenue is also lower.
