If you’re wondering, the biggest grosser among movies Spielberg directed and produced remains E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial with $435 million domestic and $792 million worldwide. Say what you will about Spielberg’s more prestigious pictures of late (The Post, Bridge of Spies, War Hor, but if anything he may well knock one of those out while he’s editing the next Indy or the West Side Story movie. and having posted his biggest non-sequel hits a generation, signing on for the kind of film he might direct that just happens to be based on a DC Comics comic book. This is Spielberg, apparently having had a solid experience with Warner Bros. This isn’t Spielberg stepping up to direct Jurassic World 3 or a Gremlins remake because his last few films flopped. Speaking of which, whatever you might think about Steven Spielberg signing on for a DC Comics movie, it has to be said that A) Blackhawk seems explicitly in his wheelhouse and B) he’s arriving into the world of comic book flicks from a position of strength, not weakness. ![]() That’s to say nothing of Paramount/Viacom Inc.'s Indiana Jones 5, the West Side Story remake or DC Films’ Blackhawk, presuming any of those films ever get made. ![]() Ready Player One should quickly push that figure over the $24 billion mark, and Universal/Comcast Corp.'s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom should push it over $25 billion. Now throw in the unadjusted global totals of the 32 movies he has directed (including reissues) and their $10.475 billion total, and you get an obscene and presumably untouchable $23.866 billion worldwide over 82 movies over 44 years. So if you take those 14 movies and add it to the global totals of the movies Spielberg produced but did not direct and you get $13.391 billion worldwide. The 14 film that Spielberg produced or executive produced but did not direct with just domestic grosses have earned an unadjusted total of $520.665 million in North America. And if you then add the 50 movies that he produced but did not direct (yes, that includes Poltergeist), there are 14 (including both Gremlins movies and Arachnophobia) that don’ t have an official overseas gross on Box Office Mojo. Again, all of Spielberg’s directorial efforts have earned around $10.236 billion worldwide. Worldwide is a little trickier, but let’s see what we can do. If you add up all of the films Spielberg has directed and produced, you get $10.475 billion over 82 movies between 19. Now it should be noted that some of Spielberg’s biggest hits ( Jaws, Jurassic Park, the Indiana Jones series, etc. Henson-led psychological thriller earned an estimated $17.1 million in its domestic debut.And, with inflation accounted for, those movies have earned, and this is including 20 films that Spielberg also directed, a total of $13.2 billion domestic. Placing second was Tyler Perry's Acrimony. For our thoughts on the film, read IGN's Pacific Rim Uprising review. ![]() After ten days of release, the film has made a domestic total of $45.7 million. The action-packed sequel, which placed first at the domestic box office last weekend, slipped all the way to fifth with $9.2 million. Meanwhile, Pacific Rim: Uprising suffered a 67 percent drop in its second weekend. Read IGN's Ready Player One review for our thoughts on why the film is "far more than just a reference-fest." Ready Player One's total international debut amounts to $128 million, making for a worldwide total of $181.2 million. Fortunately for Warner Bros., the film enjoyed a strong debut in China, earning an estimated $61.7 million and eclipsing Batman v Superman's $57 million record to become the studio's biggest opening ever in the county.
