2015 was quite the year in movies for Star Wars fans, dinosaurs, superheroes, and Pixar lovers. Star Wars: The Force Awakens broke all pre-sale ticket records and also grossed $529 million in its opening weekend, making it the highest-grossing worldwide opening of all time. 2015 also had the most films to be among the top ten highest-grossing films of all times with four out of the top ten films.
