Over the past decade, Marvel movies have completely dominated the box office, bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars every time a new film hits theaters. In fact, one of Marvel’s recent flicks has become the highest-grossing movie of all time, bringing in $2.8 billion, and making more money on its opening day than any other movie in history. And with MCU films regularly reaching the billion-dollar mark, it’s safe to say Marvel films are here to stay — and will be making an incredible amount of money along the way!
