It's official! The Marvel Cinematic Universe is now the highest-grossing film franchise in domestic history -- yep, even bigger than Harry Potter.
With the huge success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the MCU's total gross is now up to a whopping $2.46 billion dollars, topping Harry Potter's $2.39 billion and Star Wars' $1.91 billion.
MARVELLOUS news...
Had to randomly post this, couldn't help it. I love Marvel.
(NOTE: Marvel Studios have only made Iron Man 1-3, Thor 1 and 2, Cap 1 and 2, Avengers and 1 crappy Hulk movie. So far. Spiderman, X-men etc. aren't made by Marvel on screen. Just the comics.)

Captain America: Winter Soldier was amazing to me honestly. Cap:[i]I'm your friend![/i] Bucky:[i]You're my mission![/i] Cap:[i]Then finish it![/i] [i]Cuz I'm with you till the end of the line.[/i] :''''( Feels!

Harry Potter was #1?
-
And people said Disney couldn't do it
-
Take away Iron Man 1 and The Avengers and they probably wouldn't even be in the top ten.
-
It also made more movies than Harry Potter or Star Wars, so that really isn't very surprising. That being said, the movies are all pretty bad and stale to appeal to a teenage audience. Can't say I'm very interested in them.

Hate all the movies. But I never liked super hero movies, so enjoy all of you.
-
It is not really that impressive since they have made like 20 movies, while Harry Potter is at eight and Star Wars is at six.
-
Well, for a franchise that releases movies annually, that's not surprising.
