The best way to get into the holiday spirit is with Christmas movies, so here are the highest earning ones!
5. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Earning $346,500,000 puts the classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, as the fifth highest earning Christmas movie ever. This movie is a live adaptation from the Dr. Seuss’ book, it’s about someone, the Grinch, who hates Christmas so badly that he tries to ruin it for everybody in the town near him. The Grinch is played by Jim Carrey, who gives an all-time legendary performance. This movie has won many awards like, Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Kids’ Choice Award for Favorite Movie.
4. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is the sequel to Home Alone. It has the same director and cast as the first. This movie also has a similar setup to the first where Kevin McCallister gets stranded from his family and ends up alone. He then finds out the people who terrorized him in the first Home Alone movie are out of jail. This movie had a $28,000,000 budget and ended up earning $358,994,850.
3. Alvin And The Chipmunks
Alvin And The Chipmunks is about three singing chipmunks who live in a tree together. But when their tree is cut down they have to find a new home and that’s when they meet songwriter Dave Seville. I remember watching this as a kid but I was still surprised to see that this movie made $365,352,546.
2. Home Alone
Home Alone is a personal favorite to me and a ton of other people. Every holiday season Home Alone will be played on television. So it comes as no surprise to me that this movie made $476,684,675.
1. The Grinch (2018)
The 2018 movie, The Grinch, made $538,920,602. This movie coming in first may come as a surprise to a lot of people because it’s not talked about often during the holiday season. But because of the love the live-action movie holds, this movie was hyped up, causing a major success in the box office.
