The Highest-Grossing Month Ever At The Box Office: Examining The Movies That Set The $1.4 Billion Record

The amount of money that films can rake in has skyrocketed during the 21st century, with movies grossing higher than ever. The growth of globalization and improved distribution networks has meant that movies are now able to reach a much larger audience than they once were, while technological advancements have allowed filmmakers to create works that were impossible only twenty years ago. Not only are visual effects and CGI much more sophisticated, but premium formats like IMAX, 3D and Dolby Cinema have enhanced the viewing experience and allowed studios and cinemas to raise ticket prices.
