John Carpenter is known as a horror master, but the list of his highest-grossing movies at the box office includes titles from several genres.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT John Carpenter is a legendary director and a master of horror, and his movies have made decent money over the years, though interestingly enough, his highest-grossing titles cover a variety of genres. Carpenter has been directing feature films since the mid-1970s, with his first being the sci-fi comedy Dark Star, so he has had more than enough time to dabble beyond horror.
9 Memoirs Of An Invisible Man - $14.4 million The most "un-Carpenter" movie among John Carpenter's top-grossing movies is Memoirs of an Invisible Man. This comedy-drama starring Chevy Chase and Daryl Hannah is based loosely on H.F. Saint's novel of the same name. It follows a stock analyst who turns invisible following a freak accident. He's then hunted by an unscrupulous CIA agent, played by Sam Neill.
4 Escape From New York - $25.3 million Escape from New York is a sci-fi action movie set in a then-near-future 1997. In the film, the United States is a crime-ridden dystopia and New York City's Manhattan Island has been converted into the country's only maximum security prison. The plot follows a prisoner and ex-Special Forces soldier who's promised a pardon if he can save the president from a hijack situation in 24 hours.
