But everything that has a beginning has an ending for sure. And so was for Harry Potter. The farewell to Mr. Potter was a grand success and the movie collected US$ 1.342 billion on Box Office. However looking at its collection at Box office; its budget of 250 million US$ look rather small now.
7. Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
It looks like sequels have their way of making it big on the box office. Mostly it is because since the first addition has already made a good impact on the fans; they hope to see the magic recreated in the second movie too. And a movie is a sure shot recipe of success when you have included superheroes like Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Hulk and Black Widow.

Not just as a tribute to the Walker; this movie can also be remembered for its high octane action sequences as is popular with films of this franchise.

This 2012 release action movie had everything that was needed for the success of a movie.
When the target enemy of all these superheroes in the movie is one; let us pity that poor villain.
