Avengers: Endgame is the strongest-supported answer to the question of which Dave Bautista film earned the most at the worldwide theatrical box office. The Numbers credits Bautista as Drax and lists the film at $2,717,503,922 worldwide—but its separate Avengers franchise page gives a different total: $2,885,373,000. The ranking below uses one source per group of figures and makes that discrepancy explicit.
Reported worldwide box office for Dave Bautista films
The table separates The Numbers’ figure for Avengers: Endgame from the rounded figures on NetflixMovies.com’s actor page. Those sources do not provide a consistent, complete all-credits ranking, so the films after Endgame are a reported selection—not a definitive top ten.
| Film | Year | Reported worldwide gross | Source and qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avengers: Endgame | 2019 | $2,717,503,922 | The Numbers’ individual film page; it credits Bautista as Drax. The Numbers’ Avengers franchise page instead lists $2,885,373,000 for the film. |
| Spectre | 2015 | $881 million | NetflixMovies.com actor page; highest in that page’s reported list. |
| Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 | 2017 | $864 million | NetflixMovies.com actor page. The Numbers’ MCU franchise history lists $869,087,963, illustrating that tracker totals differ. |
| Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 | 2023 | $846 million | NetflixMovies.com actor page. |
| Guardians of the Galaxy | 2014 | $773 million | NetflixMovies.com actor page. |
| Thor: Love and Thunder | 2022 | $761 million | NetflixMovies.com actor page. |
| Dune: Part Two | 2024 | $715 million | NetflixMovies.com actor page. |
| Dune | 2021 | $411 million | NetflixMovies.com actor page. |
| Blade Runner 2049 | 2017 | $259 million | NetflixMovies.com actor page. |
NetflixMovies.com reports worldwide figures for 25 of the 41 films on its actor page. Its list does not include Avengers: Endgame, which The Numbers does credit to Bautista, so it should not be treated as an exhaustive filmography ranking.
Why the totals and rankings can differ
Box-office trackers may report different totals
The Numbers’ individual Endgame page and its Avengers franchise history give materially different worldwide figures for the same film. The table uses the individual title-page amount for the lead entry and flags the franchise-page amount rather than combining the two. For Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, NetflixMovies.com rounds its total to $864 million, while The Numbers’ MCU franchise history lists $869,087,963. A ranking should keep each source’s figures together instead of mixing totals as if they were measured identically.

“Bautista movies” depends on which credits count
The Numbers’ actor chart is a leading-performer chart, not a list of every appearance. It includes films led by ensembles and counts a film’s full gross for every listed leading performer. Its reported career aggregate for Bautista is $9,050,028,097 across 34 movies, but that is a sum across credited films—not the gross of one movie and not an individual-film ranking. Cameos and supporting appearances may be handled differently across actor databases.
Worldwide gross is not the same as domestic gross or success after costs
This comparison uses reported worldwide theatrical grosses, not domestic-only totals. Box Office Mojo tracks domestic and international grosses as well as multiple reporting periods, according to IMDb Help; those measures should not be substituted for a worldwide lifetime total without saying so. The figures here are nominal box-office totals: they do not adjust for inflation, count tickets sold, or show whether a film was profitable after costs.

How to read the ranking
- Top candidate: Avengers: Endgame is the best-supported highest-grossing Bautista film in the cited material, with its source-specific total clearly identified.
- Not a complete top ten: The subsequent titles are drawn from a partial actor page and are not proof that no omitted Bautista film earned more.
- Use figures with their source: A database total is a reported figure, not a universal or immutable number; rereleases and later tracker revisions can change published totals.
