2012 was a huge year for movies and the top 10 movies of that year are all huge franchises. Scary to think that it wasn’t until position 11 that there was an original single movie.
The top 3 in 2012 are three iconic movies that on there own are amazing princes of cinema, that defined each of the franchises they were a part of.
Each of them made over 1 Billion dollars at the box office and deservedly so.
The Avengers was a feat of cinematic brilliance that paved the way for Marvel to take over the world.
Skyfall could be the greatest Bond film of all time and after a lac lustre previous entry, got 007 back on track.
The Dark Knight Rises closed out what could be described as the greatest super hero trilogy of all time.
A great year for cinema and an even better year for studios that reaped in the cash.
