As we’ve now ended July and moved onto August, the summer box office is starting to wind down. Don’t get me wrong; there’s still plenty of great movies coming out the rest of the year, but for the most part, the heavy hitters have all been released.

With that in mind, we wanted to see how the biggest movies of the year were performing in theaters. Here are 2025’s highest-grossing movies at the box office so far, in ascending order, at the domestic box office according to Box Office Mojo.

Karate Kid: Legends

Domestic Box Office: $52 million.

That’s right, the Karate Kid franchise is still going on.

While Cobra Kai entertained viewers on Netflix, the movie franchise continued by starring both Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio.

Ballerina

Domestic Box Office: $58 million.

After four John Wick movies, it wasn’t too surprising to see a spin-off, especially one starring Ana de Armas.

It’s not as popular as the main franchise, but it’s still a John Wick movie, which means it’s still great.

The King of Kings

Domestic Box Office: $60 million.

The animated film is inspired by Charles Dickens’ The Life of Our Lord and features an ensemble cast with Kenneth Branagh, Uma Thurman, Mark Hamill, Pierce Brosnan, and Oscar Isaac.

The Accountant 2

Domestic Box Office: $65 million.

The sequel to Ben Affleck’s 2016 action thriller was better received by critics, but had a worse performance at the box office.

28 Years Later

Domestic Box Office: $70 million.

A sequel nearly 20 years in the making, Danny Boyle finally delivers the third entry in his zombie series, with a fourth set to release in January 2026.

Elio

Domestic Box Office: $73 million.

One day, they’ll study Pixar’s fall from grace, and one of the biggest reasons will be a severe lack of marketing.

Elio isn’t a bad movie, but you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who’s heard of it.

Snow White

Domestic Box Office: $87 million.

The poor performance of Snow White may finally have Disney questioning their long-term plans with live-action adaptations.

Then again, another live action adaptation we’ll talk about later is already getting a sequel, so I guess we’d better get ready for more of these.

Dog Man

Domestic Box Office: $98 million.

Based on the children’s graphic novel series, Dog Man is a delightful adaptation that outperformed the two previous Disney movies with critics and at the box office.

Except for, again, that other live-action Disney movie we’ll talk about later. Yes, it’s Lilo & Stitch.

Final Destination: Bloodlines

Domestic Box Office: $138 million.

The horror genre continues to become more and more bankable at the box office, especially when they’re as smart and clever as the Final Destination series.

Bloodlines is the latest hit in the long-running franchise.

F1: The Movie

Domestic Box Office: $178 million.

What happens when the director of Top Gun: Maverick collaborates with Jerry Bruckheimer and Brad Pitt?

You get one heck of a thrilling movie about an F1 driver, capitalizing on the popularity of the sport.

Thunderbolts*

Domestic Box Office: $190 million.

I’m not sure what’s more surprising about Thunderbolts*: the fact that it’s a great movie that should set the future MCU up for success, or the fact that it was a disappointment at the box office.

Its worldwide gross of $382 million is more respectable, but still ultimately disappointing.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

Domestic Box Office: $197 million.

Speaking of disappointing, one of the biggest surprises of the year thus far is the underperformance of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.

With the exception of MI:2, they’re all incredible movies, but Final Reckoning proves that maybe they should have kept the finale as one film instead of two.

Captain America: Brave New World

Domestic Box Office: $200 million.

Until recently, your highest-grossing Marvel movie of 2025 was Captain America: Brave New World.

It proved that audiences are hungry for a good Marvel movie, Anthony Mackie is a worthy Captain America, but the MCU isn’t a sure thing anymore.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps

Domestic Box Office: $230 million.

On the plus side, The Fantastic Four: First Steps proves that Marvel is starting to find their groove again with great movies.

On the downside, it also proves that the MCU is no longer guaranteed to approach billions of dollars in box office revenue.

How to Train Your Dragon

Domestic Box Office: $261 million.

So maybe the problem with these live-action Disney adaptations is that they fail to capture the imagination of the source material.

How to Train Your Dragon, on the other hand, understood the assignment. It’s not a perfect movie by any means, but it’s a faithful adaptation whose changes only improve the story.

Sinners

Domestic Box Office: $278 million.

In a year dominated by blockbuster franchises, one of the best-reviewed and highest-grossing films is the original vampire period piece Sinners.

It’s hard to believe that this is Ryan Coogler’s first original film; the director’s prior work was the two Black Panther movies, the Rocky reboot Creed, and Fruitvale Station, based on the real-life story of Oscar Grant.

Jurassic World: Rebirth

Domestic Box Office: $327 million.

Another decade, another attempt at reviving the Jurassic Park franchise.

Despite the mixed reviews, it’s still a dinosaur movie with bankable stars and enough action to entertain at the summer box office. Its performance over some of the other high-profile movies on the list is no doubt impressive, though.

Superman

Domestic Box Office: $331 million.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman thriving at the box office ahead of the rest of its superhero competition.

James Gunn’s DC debut is a smashing success that has us more excited for the future of DC movies over the MCU for the first time, well, ever.

Lilo & Stitch

Domestic Box Office: $421 million.

I hinted at it several times, so you knew it was coming.

Lilo & Stitch is in no way a faithful adaptation of the beloved animated Disney film, but Stitch is one of Walt Disney’s most popular characters. At the time of writing, it’s made over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, and is just under the next movie for the highest-grossing film domestically of 2025.

A Minecraft Movie

Domestic Box Office: $424 million.

One day, history books will tell the story of how A Minecraft Movie took the world by storm.

Was it as good a video game movie as Super Mario Bros.? No, not even close. I’m convinced that most people saw the movie for the memes. Minecraft fans ate it up, though.
