Behind every movie that has ever crossed the 1 billion dollar mark at the box office, there is a handful of films that nearly clinched the milestone.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While over 50 movies have crossed the billion-dollar mark with their lifetime box office grosses, a handful has agonizingly fallen short of achieving that feat by crossing $950 million but not reaching ten figures. In the unpredictable world of box office economics, several movies have defied expectations and set impressive records by rising well above their initial projections.
8 The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Following Bilbo Baggins and Thorin Oakenshield's quest to get back the Lonely Mountain from Smaug, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug not only earned critical acclaim but also did exceptionally well at the box office. With a budget between $217–225 million, the J.R.R. Tolkien adaptation grossed $959 million at the international box office, nearly touching the $1 billion mark.
6 The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Although The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies could not match The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug's critical success, it surpassed its prequel with impressive box office numbers. By raking in $962.
4 The Lion King The Jungle Book's box office success in 2016 proved that there was a massive market for live-action remakes of classic animated films. Using this insight as leverage, Disney greenlit a live-action remake of The Lion King, which, like Jungle Book, was directed by Jon Favreau. Compared to The Jungle Book, The Lion King's critical response was slightly underwhelming, but the movie went on to earn $968.5 million internationally against a hefty budget of $260 million.
