10 Movies That Shockingly Destroyed Justice League At The Box Office
8. Forrest Gump
Box Office: $677.9 million
The Best Picture-winning Forrest Gump is another crazy box office anomaly, considering how incredibly rare it is for a pure drama movie to gross, well, blockbuster figures.
For instance, the highest-grossing Best Picture winner of the last decade is The King's Speech ($414.2 million), and it's totally routine for the movies that win The Big One to gross less than $200 million worldwide.
Gump is the highest-grossing drama of all time, and while its enduring reverence in general pop-culture doesn't make that terribly surprising, the fact that it soared north of $500 million remains absolutely mind-boggling.
Even as a testament to Tom Hanks' peak-era popularity as America's favourite actor, the fact he could topple some of the world's most iconic superheroes over two decades later is nothing short of jaw-dropping.
