Box Office: $792.9 million
Much like The Sixth Sense and Forrest Gump, there shouldn't be much surprise that Stephen Spielberg's E.T. was a stonking box office hit, but the fact it made $619 million during its original 1982 theatrical run is nothing short of astonishing.
Subsequent re-releases have nudged its total close to $800 million, a staggering feat for a film that's almost 40 years old, ensuring it thoroughly tops Justice League without any adjustments for inflation.
Though just about everyone loves E.T., it's still hard to picture such a film released nowadays managing to compete with the insane money turned over by superhero cinema.
