The highest-grossing Warner Bros. movie of all time, measured by worldwide cumulative theatrical gross, is Barbie (2023). The Numbers reports it at $1,447,685,476 worldwide, a figure retrieved in 2026. The next two films on the ranking the sources support are Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011) and Aquaman (2018). Those totals are nominal, meaning they are not adjusted for inflation, and they measure box-office receipts, not studio profit.
The top three on the worldwide chart
The order below comes from a secondary reproduction of Warner Bros.’ filmography. Only Barbie’s grosses were checked against a database that breaks totals down by territory, so the table shows figures only where a source states them.
| Rank | Film | Release year | Worldwide gross | Domestic (North America) | International |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Barbie | 2023 | $1,447,685,476 | $636,785,476 | $810,900,000 |
| 2 | Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 | 2011 | Not stated in the source reviewed | Not stated in the source reviewed | Not stated in the source reviewed |
| 3 | Aquaman | 2018 | Not stated in the source reviewed | Not stated in the source reviewed | Not stated in the source reviewed |
Barbie figures are from The Numbers, retrieved in 2026. Totals are cumulative theatrical grosses and change as films are re-released or as databases update their reporting.
How Barbie’s gross splits by territory
Barbie’s worldwide total is made up of two parts of roughly equal weight:
#1 Best Overall
- OFFICIALLY LICENSED BY IMDb - Based on millions of IMDb user ratings and the only top 100 movies scratch off poster licensed by IMDb - The most official and complete movie list of all time!
- WORK OF ART - Friends and family will appreciate the professional illustration and detail that went into all 100 original "mini movie poster" designs. Perfect gift for movie lovers!
- SUPERIOR QUALITY - With the high level of satisfied custumers, you can trust us to provide the best possible print quality and scratch-off experience. A great addition to your movie room accessories!
- INVESTING IN LOCAL QUALITY: We designed this poster in Madison, WI and printed it down the highway Vernon Hills, Illinois with one of the best scratch-off printers in the USA.
- STANDARD A2 POSTER SIZE - (16.5"x23.4") - Fits standard frame sizes. Frame the poster once all the movies are scratched-off and add it to your home movie theater room decor.
- North America: about 44% of the worldwide total.
- International markets: about 56% of the worldwide total.
This split matters for reading any ranking. A film that does strongly overseas can lead a worldwide chart while ranking lower on a domestic-only chart, so a title’s worldwide position says little about its North American performance alone.
How to read these numbers
Worldwide and domestic rankings are different lists
Worldwide charts add North American and international receipts together. Domestic charts count only the United States and Canada. Do not mix figures from the two scopes in one table, and do not assume a worldwide leader is also the domestic leader. The sources reviewed here establish the worldwide answer for Barbie and do not establish a Warner-only domestic ranking.
Rank #2

Gross is not profit
Theatrical gross is the money ticket buyers pay to cinemas. It is not what the studio keeps. Exhibitors take a share, and marketing, distribution costs and other expenses come out of the rest. A high gross is not evidence of a high profit, and a lower gross can still be a profitable film.
Nominal and inflation-adjusted totals
The figures above are nominal. Older films earned their money at lower ticket prices and in different markets, so an inflation-adjusted chart would reorder the list. Check which version a chart uses before comparing a 2011 release with a 2023 release.
Rank #3
- 80's Favorite Movies - Back To The Future - Movie Poster (Regular Style) - Unframed
- Regular Style
- Release Year: 1985
- LARGE 24" x 36" WALL SIZE UNFRAMED POSTER: Eye-catching design fills your wall with inspiration and color. Perfect for creating a bold visual centerpiece on any wall
- VIBRANT, HIGH-RESOLUTION PRINT: Printed on high-quality paper with bold colors and sharp detail that pop in any lighting - creating a professional, premium look.
Re-releases and attribution
Some charts add re-release earnings to a film’s total, and others show only the original run. Charts also differ on whether they credit the distributor, the production company or a franchise owner. The sources reviewed do not spell out how a Warner-filtered chart treats these cases, so treat any ranking that does not state its rules with caution.
What the available sources do not establish
Box Office Mojo’s Top Lifetime Grosses chart and The Numbers’ All-Time Top-Grossing Movies Worldwide chart both rank films across all studios. Neither, on its own, answers the question of which Warner Bros. film is first. The Numbers’ film page for Barbie does give the territory split and production context. The complete list of Warner Bros. titles in order, with grosses for every film, rests on one secondary reproduction. The distributor’s own worldwide chart was not reviewed, so the positions below the top spot should be read as the best available ordering rather than an official studio figure.
Rank #4
- THIS TRENDS 24X36 STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH - ONE SHEET uses high-resolution artwork and is printed on premium FSC-Certified Gloss Poster Paper

Home video
The Numbers lists Barbie’s home-video release as Warner Home Video on September 12, 2023, and includes estimated DVD and Blu-ray sales. Those disc figures are estimates from the database, not reported studio receipts, and they are separate from the theatrical totals above.
