25. "300: Rise of an Empire"
Domestic: $106.5 million
International: $224.5 million
Worldwide: $331.5 million
Lowdown: A Warner Bros. success very few people noted or
expected
24. "Mr. Peabody & Sherman"
Domestic: $111.5 million
International: $161.4 million
Worldwide: $272.9 million
Lowdown: With a reported production budget of $145 million
it will be a while before this DreamWorks Animation film even breaks even.
23. "The Fault in Our Stars"
Domestic: $124.8 million
International: $179.3 million
Worldwide: $304.1 million
Lowdown: At a cost of just $12 million, "Fault"
was hands down one of the most profitable films of the year.
22. "Lucy"
Domestic: $126.6 million
International: $332.2 million
Worldwide: $458.8 million
Lowdown: The right movie at the right time to perfectly
capitalize on Scarlett Johansson's growing worldwide fame.
21. "Rio 2"
Domestic: $131.5 million
International: $367.2 million
Worldwide: $498.7 million
Lowdown: An animated hit the U.S. media barely covered but
it's quickly turning into a mini-"Ice Age" franchise for 20th Century
Fox.
20. "Ride Along"
Domestic: $134.9 million
International: $19 million
Worldwide: $153.9 million
Lowdown: The movie that proved Kevin Hart is a legitimate
movie star.
19. "Neighbors"
Domestic: $150.1 million
International: $118 million
Worldwide: $268.1 million
Lowdown: The most successful live action film to date for
both Seth Rogen and Zac Efron.
Domestic: $150.9 million
International: $137.8 million
Worldwide: $288.7 million
Lowdown: A rare blockbuster launch for a new Young Adult
franchise. It's not "Twilight" or "The Hunger Games," but
its success is significant.
Domestic: $166.1 million
International: $190.5 million
Worldwide: $356.6 million
Lowdown: Not only did it live up to the hype, "Gone
Girl" became David Fincher's highest grossing film so far.
16. "How To Train Your Dragon 2"
Domestic: $177 million
International: $441.9 million
Worldwide: $618.9 million
Lowdown: While the critically acclaimed sequel made less
domestically than the first "Dragon," it earned over $120 million
more globally.
Domestic: $178.8 million
International: $470.7 million
Worldwide: $650 million
Lowdown: Did Christopher Nolan's latest suffer from too
much hype stateside? Many would have put down money in Vegas that the epic
would have reached $200 million domestic which it clearly did not. For
comparison's sake, "Gravity" grossed almost $100 million more in the
U.S.
14. "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies"
Domestic: $189.5 million
International $439 million
Worldwide: $628.8 million
Lowdown: A nice rebound from the last series' last chapter,
"The Desolation of Smaug," and it still has an excellent shot of
earning $1 billion globally.
Domestic: $191.2 million
International: $286 million
Worldwide: $477.2 million
Lowdown: A cowabunga summer surprise which just gave
Paramount Pictures a new franchise they were desperately searching for.
12. "22 Jump Street"
Domestic: $191.7 million
International: $139.6 million
Worldwide: $331.6 million
Lowdown: With this sort of performance how do they avoid
"23 Jump Street"? Guess everyone should forget about those end
credits, huh?
11. "Godzilla"
Domestic: $200.6 million
International: $324.3 million
Worldwide: $524.9 million
Lowdown: Not the kingmaker many thought its would be, but a
major success for Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. anyway.
Domestic: $202.8 million
International: $506.1 million
Worldwide: $708.9 million
Lowdown: How can a movie that earns $708 million be deemed
a game changing disappointment? When it barely breaks even in theaters, barely
hits the $200 million mark domestically and has even casual fans speaking out
on social media for something different.
9. "Big Hero 6"
Domestic: $204.7 million
International $120.9 million
Worldwide: $325.4 million
Lowdown: A nice hit for Walt Disney Animation that will
have a big run overseas in 2015.
8. "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes"
Domestic: $208.5 million
International $499.7 million
Worldwide: $708.2 million
Lowdown: A big player for 20th Century Fox who built upon
the success of 2011's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" by an eyebrow
raising $206 million worldwide.
7. "X-Men: Days of Future Past"
Domestic: $233.9 million
International $512.1 million
Worldwide: $746 million
Lowdown: Reboot complete. Fox, Simon Kinberg and Bryan
Singer make the "X-Men" a relevant franchise once more.
Domestic: $241.1 million
International $516.3 million
Worldwide: $757.7 million
Lowdown: Considering the reshoots and the delays, a perfect
example of how true star power (thank you Angelina Jolie) and the right concept
can click with moviegoers.
5. "Transformers: Age of Extinction"
Domestic: $245.4 million
International $841.9 million
Worldwide: $1.08 billion
Lowdown: Needless to say, Paramount Pictures focus on this
franchise is much more international these days. U.S. performance is almost an
afterthought.
Domestic: $259.7 million
International: $210.3 million
Worldwide: $468 million
Lowdown: A great February surprise for Warner Bros. and
provides them with an animated franchise they have sorely been lacking.
3. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
Domestic: $259.7 million
International $454.3 million
Worldwide: $714 million
Lowdown: The success of "The Avengers" rubbed off
on "Winter Soldier" more than "Thor: The Dark World," but
great reviews, word of mouth and Scarlett Johansson didn't hurt either.
2. "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Pt. 1"
Domestic: $313.2 million
International $363 million
Worldwide: $679.3 million
Lowdown: Has a shot at surprising the no. 1 movie for the
highest grossing film released in 2014. Still, a big disappointment compared to
the first two "Hunger Games" movies which earned over $400 million
each in the U.S.
1. "Guardians of the Galaxy" (review-guardians-of-galaxy)
Domestic: $332.8 million
International $439.6 million
Worldwide: $772.4 million
Lowdown: Simply a triumph for Marvel Studios and Walt
Disney Studios on every level. An entertaining new series for moviegoers who
aren't that into superheroes could easily embrace.
