The Most Successful and Unsuccessful Oscar-Winning Films in Terms of Box Office Performance

The Academy Awards, commonly known as the Oscars, is an annual awards ceremony honoring outstanding achievements in the film industry. The awards are presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and are considered the most prestigious awards in the film industry. Among the categories recognized by the Oscars is the Best Picture award, which is given to the film that the Academy deems to be the best of the year.

When it comes to box office success, the films that win the Best Picture award don't always match up with the highest-grossing films of the year. However, there have been a number of Oscar-winning films that have also been incredibly successful at the box office. These films have not only received critical acclaim but also have made a significant amount of money, grossing billions of dollars worldwide.

The most successful Oscar-winning films of all time in terms of box office gross are:

  1. Titanic (1997) - $2.2 billion
  2. Avatar (2009) - $2.8 billion
  3. Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) - $2.07 billion
  4. Avengers: Endgame (2019) - $2.798 billion
  5. Jurassic World (2015) - $1.67 billion
  6. The Lion King (2019) - $1.65 billion
  7. The Avengers (2012) - $1.5 billion
  8. Frozen (2013) - $1.276 billion
  9. Avengers: Infinity War (2018) - $2.048 billion
  10. Incredibles 2 (2018) - $1.24 billion

Please note that box office numbers fluctuate based on the exchange rate and inflation, so this list is subject to change. Also, these films were not won all the Oscars but it is the most successful films in box office among the films that won an Oscar.

From a different perspective, here are some Oscar-winning films that did not perform well at the box office:

  1. The Artist (2011) - Made $44.8 million worldwide against its $15 million budget
  2. Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire (2009) - Made $47.5 million worldwide against its $10 million budget
  3. Crash (2004) - Made $98.4 million worldwide against its $6.5 million budget
  4. American Beauty (1999) - Made $356.3 million worldwide against its $15 million budget
  5. A Beautiful Mind (2001) - Made $313.5 million worldwide against its $58 million budget

It's worth noting that these films were critically acclaimed, and some of them won multiple Oscars, but their box office performance was not as successful as the other Oscar winning films.
