The 10 Biggest Box Office Hits of 2026 So Far, Ranked

2026 has been a monster year at the movies — billion-dollar club members, record-shattering horror, and a few surprises nobody saw coming. Here are the 10 biggest box office stories of the year so far, ranked.

10. Digger

Tom Cruise and Alejandro Iñárritu's $160 million satire is the season's biggest swing — a wildly divisive, wildly ambitious gamble that has the entire industry watching its opening weekend. Love it or hate it, Digger is the conversation.

9. Heart of the Beast

Brad Pitt's survival thriller roared out of the gate with a $20 million opening, proving the movie star is not dead yet. Heart of the Beast is old-school star power meeting new-school spectacle — and audiences showed up.

8. Practical Magic 2

The witches are back, and the spell worked: the long-awaited sequel is nearing $92 million worldwide and counting. Practical Magic 2 is proof that nostalgia, done right, is box office magic.

7. KPop Demon Hunters

The animated phenomenon that refused to quit. KPop Demon Hunters turned a streaming sensation into a genuine theatrical force, with sing-along screenings packing houses months after release. A new blueprint for animated hits.

6. Coyote vs. Acme

The movie Warner Bros. tried to delete — and audiences refused to let die. Coyote vs. Acme crossed $100 million worldwide on the back of pure goodwill, becoming the year's best underdog story both on and off screen.

5. Resident Evil

Zach Cregger's franchise reboot opened to a massive $108.3 million, instantly becoming horror's biggest story of the year. Resident Evil proved that with the right filmmaker, even the most rebooted franchise on Earth can feel brand new.

4. Obsession

Curry Barker's thriller became a genuine phenomenon with roughly $519 million worldwide — the kind of original-film breakout the industry keeps insisting is impossible. Obsession is the year's biggest "told you so."

3. Toy Story 5

Pixar's toys took on the tablet age and won: Toy Story 5 sailed past the billion-dollar mark, cementing the franchise as animation's most bulletproof brand. Woody and Buzz remain box office royalty.

2. The Odyssey

Christopher Nolan's mythic epic sailed past roughly $1.75 billion worldwide, becoming Universal's highest-grossing film ever. The Odyssey is the rare event film that is also a genuine artistic triumph — and the box office crown it nearly wore says everything.

1. Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Nothing else was close. The web-slinger's latest soared to roughly $2.45 billion worldwide, making it the biggest hit of 2026 by a mile. Brand New Day did not just win the year — it reminded everyone why Spider-Man is the most bankable hero on the planet.

With awards season approaching, the only question is whether anything can catch the year's runaway leaders. Place your bets.
