Those rankings measure box-office dollars, not how many people watched. For streaming, the leaders depend on whether you count U.S. viewing minutes or Netflix’s global views. Here are the ten worldwide theatrical leaders, followed by three streaming recommendations selected by Tom’s Guide.
How “most popular” is measured
This list ranks movies released in 2025 by worldwide theatrical gross, using Box Office Mojo’s chart. Gross is the money earned at the box office, not an admission count: ticket prices, the number of markets where a film opened, and the mix of those markets all affect the total. A domestic ranking or a streaming ranking answers a different question.
The amounts below are the current worldwide chart figures for 2025 releases. They are not interchangeable with U.S. and Canada grosses, Nielsen viewing minutes, or Netflix views. See Box Office Mojo’s worldwide 2025 chart.
The 10 biggest movies worldwide by 2025 theatrical gross
| Rank | Movie | Worldwide gross |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ne Zha 2 | $2,270,700,370 |
| 2 | Zootopia 2 | $1,866,647,950 |
| 3 | Avatar: Fire and Ash | $1,485,999,890 |
| 4 | Lilo & Stitch | $1,038,027,526 |
| 5 | A Minecraft Movie | $960,387,780 |
| 6 | Jurassic World: Rebirth | $869,146,189 |
| 7 | Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle | $793,500,039 |
| 8 | How to Train Your Dragon | $636,596,299 |
| 9 | F1: The Movie | $634,142,436 |
| 10 | Superman | $618,723,803 |
Why a U.S. and Canada list looks different
On Box Office Mojo’s 2025 U.S. and Canada chart, A Minecraft Movie narrowly ranked first, ahead of Lilo & Stitch. The rest of the top ten also differs from the worldwide order: Wicked: For Good, Sinners, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps appear in the domestic top ten, while the worldwide list includes Ne Zha 2 and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle. These are U.S. and Canada gross figures for 2025 releases, not global totals. Check Box Office Mojo’s domestic chart.

Streaming leaders depend on the measure
Streaming rankings cannot simply be added to a theatrical-gross list. Nielsen counts viewing minutes for U.S. television viewing over its measurement period, December 30, 2024–December 28, 2025. Netflix’s engagement report instead gives global views for July–December 2025, calculating a view by dividing total hours watched by runtime. The territory, time window, audience grouping, and unit differ.
| Measure and scope | Leader | Reported result |
|---|---|---|
| Nielsen, U.S. television; kids movie category; Dec. 30, 2024–Dec. 28, 2025 | KPop Demon Hunters | 20.5 billion viewing minutes |
| Nielsen, U.S. television; general-audience movie category; Dec. 30, 2024–Dec. 28, 2025 | Happy Gilmore 2 | 7.1 billion viewing minutes |
| Nielsen, U.S. television; general-audience movie runner-up; Dec. 30, 2024–Dec. 28, 2025 | Wicked | 6.8 billion viewing minutes |
| Netflix, global engagement; July–December 2025, reported in 2026 | KPop Demon Hunters | 482 million views |
| Netflix, global engagement; July–December 2025, reported in 2026 | Happy Gilmore 2 | 135 million views |
Nielsen divides movie recognition into kids and general-audience categories because repeated viewing by children can change the totals. The Nielsen figures are not worldwide streaming totals, and Netflix’s views are not the same metric as minutes watched. Nielsen’s 2025 ARTEY Awards and measurement notes explain its categories and scope. Netflix’s second-half 2025 engagement report describes its views measure.

Three streaming picks worth considering
Tom’s Guide selected these three from its year-end Netflix chart. They are an editorial shortlist, not the three most popular films by any single ranking or an objective verdict on what everyone should watch. Their appeal is distinct: a fantasy musical, a gothic literary adaptation, and a political thriller.
KPop Demon Hunters: animated fantasy musical
The film follows a fictional K-pop group juggling arena performances with demon hunting. It is the strongest pick here if you want energetic animation and music. Its popularity is also backed by two differently scoped streaming measures: Nielsen named it the top kids movie of 2025 by U.S. viewing minutes, while Netflix reported 482 million global views for the second half of 2025.
Rank #3

- Fast and Reliable 85W Charging: Offers high-capacity, speedy charging for laptops up to 85W, so you spend less time tethered to an outlet and more time being productive.
- What You Get: Anker USB-C Hub (7-in-1), welcome guide, 18-month warranty, and our friendly customer service.
Frankenstein: a gothic adaptation
Guillermo del Toro’s film adapts Mary Shelley’s novel. Tom’s Guide praised its production design and Jacob Elordi’s creature performance; those are the outlet’s critical judgments, rather than measures of audience popularity. Shelley’s book makes a natural optional companion if you want to compare the adaptation with its source, but it is not a prerequisite for watching the film.
A House of Dynamite: a political thriller
Kathryn Bigelow’s thriller centers on the response to a nuclear missile launch. Tom’s Guide described it as tense and divisive. Choose it for political suspense rather than animation or gothic horror; the source’s assessment is a critic’s opinion, not a universal recommendation.
Rank #4

What the 2025 box office says about the year
In an Associated Press report published with three days remaining in 2025, Comscore estimated the domestic box office at $8.76 billion at that point, compared with $11.4 billion in 2019. That was an in-year estimate, not a final annual total. AP also reported Comscore figures of $2.87 billion for PG films and $2.78 billion for PG-13 films domestically, with PG movies ahead for a second consecutive year. Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian called it “a really solid end to a tumultuous year.” Read AP’s year-end box-office report.
