Top 5 SURPRISING Billion Dollar Movies


how did this make so much money
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
five movies you won’t believe made a
billion dollars before we begin we
publish new videos every day so be sure
to subscribe for more great content for
this list we’ll be examining the films
whose success at the box office
continues to perplex either due to the
movies weirdness poor divisive quality
or simply their unexpected turn out
resurrect rule the dead in span time
number 5 minions we all know that kids
in that one ant everyone has seemed to
love the minions but we just didn’t
think that said enthusiasm would lead to
their solo prequel movie becoming the
13th highest grossing movie ever while
the little yellow guys comedy is funny
in part the fact that they speak
entirely in gibberish and that most
physical gags tend to wear out their
welcome means the movies not exactly
Shakespeare respect then again its
success may lie in its simplicity as the
film’s message and comedy can easily
translate across language barriers
leading to easy success overseas number
four the fate of the Furious The Fast
and the Furious franchise is known for
being consistent popcorn entertainment
and it’s AP installment is more of the
series usual fare we were all rather
shocked with how well the fate of the
Furious did in the box office though the
series had lost one of its main lead
actors after Paul Walker’s death the
plot was criticized for being
inconsistent and most franchises don’t
remain as successful eight movies in yet
the series has managed to buck that
trend and make more with almost every
film Roman hold tight I’m on the way
while fate did make less than its
predecessor it still broke a billion
clearly the series is fated for
greatness sorry we can resist and buckle
up the fire here number three Pirates of
the Caribbean
on Stranger Tides you are Jack Sparrow
established brands can make big bucks at
the box office but we still have
difficulty believing that the fourth
parts of the Caribbean movie made over a
billion dollars a standalone story
starring Jack Sparrow facing off against
Blackbeard sounds fantastic and concept
but the execution consisted of a surplus
of action sequences goofy humor and a
surprisingly forgettable plot happy news
you think a movie seen by so many would
leave more of an impression still it’s a
good thing on Stranger Tides did so well
considering it’s the most expensive
movie ever made was that really
necessary
number two Alice in Wonderland speaking
of movie starring Johnny Depp in a zany
role I guess every other film he’s in
now this live-action adaptation of the
Lewis Carroll book and subsequent Disney
animated film is perplexing in all the
wrong ways while its art design has
director Tim Burton’s signature creative
creepiness the storyline was largely
criticized rather than being a strange
journey into an unpredictable world the
plot became a generic fantasy centered
on prophecy how so many strange creative
choices and off-putting performances
added up to over a billion dollar gross
and a sequel is a mystery to us
number one transformers age of
extinction two xmt bro
we didn’t think age of extinction could
make a billion dollars after its
predecessor dark up the moon did it too
but lo and behold the Transformers
movies still keep making money like
several of our earlier entries age of
extinction lost many of its lead
characters and is the fourth entry in
the franchise however all of the
hallmarks that made the previous films
critical Bombs
product placement excessive explosions
incomprehensible camerawork etc etc
remained and did nothing to dull its
final success pandering to China this
time probably helped bolster its profits
to welcome to China but Galvatron in
containment tell the text do not
activate him absolutely do you agree
