Box Office Quiz
Which of these two films earned more worldwide?
Box office totals reward recency as much as quality. Ticket prices rise every year, so a modern sequel routinely out-grosses an older classic in raw dollars even when far fewer people saw it. These are lifetime worldwide grosses, unadjusted for inflation.
One film's total is revealed; the other is hidden behind a question mark. You decide whether it earned more or less.
The very top of the list is a tight race between Avatar, Avengers: Endgame and the biggest recent releases, but the middle of the table is where it gets genuinely difficult — a beloved classic can be comfortably out-earned by a sequel almost nobody remembers.
Things worth knowing
- Figures are lifetime worldwide grosses
- Not adjusted for inflation
- Recent releases are heavily favoured by ticket prices
How it works
You are shown two items side by side. One reveals its number; the other hides it behind a question mark. Decide whether the hidden value is higher or lower, and every correct call extends your streak. One wrong guess ends the run. If the two values are equal the answer counts as correct either way, so a tie never costs you anything. The game is free, runs entirely in your browser, and needs no account.
