Marvel Studios has the highest grossing superhero movie for the 8th consecutive year

Marvel Studios is on a roll. The studio released three films this year, all of which have grossed over $800 million worldwide and also happen to be the three highest grossing superhero movies of the year. With DC Films’ Justice League struggling (relatively) at the box office, there is no challenger left to any of Marvel’s 2017 offerings. That means the studio has produced the world’s highest grossing superhero movie for the eighth consecutive year.

Thor: Ragnarok brought in another $6.3M at the domestic box office this weekend, bringing its global total to $833.2M. It may not reach Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 ($863.6M) or the year’s current box office champ, Spider-Man: Homecoming ($880.2M), but regardless, Marvel Studios will have produced 2017’s highest grossing superhero film.
