Why the worldwide figure for Endgame changed
Disney reported on October 4, 2026 that Avengers: Endgame had reached an estimated $2.9255 billion worldwide after its Avengers Endgame: Encore theatrical re-release, reclaiming the all-time worldwide box-office record. The estimate is from Disney’s announcement. Box Office Mojo’s figure and The Numbers’ $2,926,503,363, both checked October 8, 2026, are not identical. These publishers do not explain the difference on the cited pages, so the figures should be treated as separate reported totals, not combined or presented as a single exact count.
Worldwide gross is not domestic gross
Worldwide gross combines a film’s domestic and international theatrical receipts. For instance, Box Office Mojo reports Infinity War at $678,815,482 domestic and $1,373,599,557 foreign, for $2,052,415,039 worldwide. Its No Way Home chart shows $814,866,759 domestic and $1,106,559,314 foreign, totaling $1,921,426,073.

Be careful when using Box Office Mojo’s separate Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise chart: it shows domestic figures, not worldwide totals. For Doctor Strange, that domestic amount is $232,641,920; its worldwide lifetime gross is $677,796,833. The chart’s domestic number is not an alternative worldwide ranking value.
How the box-office sources differ
Box Office Mojo and The Numbers report slightly different totals for some films. For example, The Numbers lists Infinity War at $2,048,158,241, compared with Box Office Mojo’s $2,052,415,039. A ranking is easier to interpret when it consistently uses one tracker rather than mixing figures. The table therefore uses Box Office Mojo’s worldwide chart for its comparable figures and identifies Disney separately for its dated post-rerelease estimate for Endgame.

The sources establish a solid set of high-grossing Cumberbatch films, but they do not support calling these four a definitive top four across his entire filmography. A fully exhaustive order would require checking every candidate credit, including brief appearances and voice roles, against authoritative cast records and a consistent worldwide-gross database. The list is therefore limited to the titles and connections established by the cited sources.
