Rank credits, production companies, years, decades, and genres by total budget, box office, and revenue.
Who is actually the biggest movie star of all time — by money, not vibes? Tops answers questions like that with hard box office data. Pick a category (credits — actors, directors, and everyone behind the camera — production companies, genres, years, decades, or franchise collections), pick a metric (total budget, total revenue, or net profit), and get a ranked leaderboard built from the combined numbers of every movie in our database. Every figure is summed across a person's or company's entire filmography, so one lucky blockbuster won't crown a one-hit wonder over a decades-long career.
The results hold surprises: directors you'd never guess out-gross household names, studios quietly dominating whole decades, and genres whose profit margins embarrass their bigger-budget rivals. Use the search box to jump straight to a name, click any row to expand their full movie list ordered by the current metric, and switch metrics to see how a ranking reshuffles when you count what was spent instead of what was earned. Box office data refreshes daily as new numbers report.
