The highest grossing movie of all time is still Gone With the Wind that was released in 1939. In today’s money, the movie has earned $3.7 billion. It is interesting that before the beginning of the 21st century, dramas, action films, and musicals were leaders in terms of earning money. And in the new century, franchises are winning so far. By the way, do you know what film was the highest-grossing one the day you were born? If you don’t know, we will tell you!
We at Bright Side love movies and we think that good movies should earn a lot of money.
