Marvel Comics is one of the biggest production companies in the film industry at the moment, and with its new release of Black Panther, it is only going to continue to make more money — and rightfully so. Black Panther is already making history at the US box office, raking in $242 million domestically over the three-day weekend. That total puts it in second place for the highest four-day opening of all time, behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which took in $288 million.

When you look at worldwide numbers, Black Panther is even more impressive. The movie has already earned $426.6 million across the globe! That gigantic number got us wondering just how much money all of the Marvel films have made over the years. There are so many films to choose from, and a lot of them have been popular, but when all is said and done, how much money have they actually earned?

To keep it simple, we've organized the Marvel films based on the highest-grossing numbers to the lowest earner from all movies released up to January 2018. These numbers include domestic and overseas earnings, bringing each film's gross numbers to its worldwide high.
