The Highest Grossing Movies of 2011 Worldwide

With the fact that it is nearly year end, we thought we’d take a look back at 2011′s most popular and highest grossing movies. In this league the book adaptations and sequels were big this year, with only two films on the top 10 list not falling in that category. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 take the gold with $1,328,111,219 to be exact, according to Box Office Mojo as of December 7, 2011.

Coming in second is Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon with just over $1.1 billion for the year and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides slides into third with slightly more than $1 billion. Rounding out the top 10 is a second Johnny Depp movie, Rio raking in $484 million.
