The final top 10 most profitable films of 2022 have been published, and only Tom Cruise is sad about its results (11 photos)
The Hollywood news portal has published the final list of the most profitable films of last year, calculating all the numerical indicators of all blockbusters in 2022.
Experts took into account both box office receipts around the world and streaming receipts, comparing them with the production budget of the films and all promotion costs.
As a result, the key indicator of the list was net profit. Let's see which of last year's hits had the highest amount.
As you already understand, Tom Cruise is unhappy.
10th place - Smile
Net profit: $101 million
The only horror on the list that had a very good marketing campaign.
9th place - Thor: Love and Thunder
Net profit: $103 million
The film embodies the failure of all Marvel projects in recent years.
8th place - Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish
Net profit: $120.2 million
7th place - Batman
Net profit: $177 million
This film was considered the most anticipated blockbuster of last year and turned out to be quite good, although it has already faded a little from memory.
6th place - Jurassic World: Domination
Net profit: $229.7 million
Audience ratings for films in this series are consistently low, but box office receipts are consistently high.
5th place - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Net profit: $259 million
4th place - Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness
Net profit: $284 million
Two more films from Marvel that made the studio a lot of money, but didn't bring much excitement to people.
3rd place - Minions: Gruvitation
Net profit: $382 million
The second on the list is a cartoon sequel, which, judging by the box office, attracted half the children on the planet.
2nd place - Top Gun: Maverick
Net profit: $391.1 million
Tom Cruise smiles, but this is clearly out of politeness, because his sudden masterpiece, which remained at the top box office all year, still lost to our winner. And with a large margin.
1st place - Avatar: The Way of Water
Net profit: $531.7 million
The film was released in mid-December, but is still considered a 2022 film (poor Tom Cruise!).
Having become the third film in history at the box office with a total of more than $2.3 billion, the second Avatar was ahead of all projects of the year in terms of net profit.
So, without a doubt, three more parts await us, as planned by James Cameron, who appeased the studio bosses by putting half a billion dollars into their office.
