Top 10 Highest Grossing Non-Sequel, Non-Remake, Non-Adapted Movies of All Time

For your edification, these are the ten highest grossing movies worldwide of all time that are not a sequel, not a remake, not a franchise tie-in, not a spin off, and not adapted from any novel, comic book, videogame, or any other pre-existing fictional media (not adjusted for inflation):

1.  Avatar (2009, $2,845,899,541) 2.  Titanic (1997, $2,207,986,545) 3.  Zootopia (2016, $1,004,629,935) 4.  The Lion King (1994, $986,214,868) 5.  Finding Nemo (2003, $936,094,852) 6.  Bohemian Rhapsody (2018, $887,875,864) 7.  The Secret Life of Pets (2016, $885,302,500) 8.  The Battle of Lake Changjin (2021, $863,290,000) 9.  Inside Out (2015, $853,641,066) 10.  Hi, Mom (2021, $841,674,419)

NOTE:  Yes, everyone knows The Lion King is “Hamlet with Lions”, but I’m giving it a pass and considering it merely “heavily inspired” rather than an adaptation considering how different the story is.  It’s not literally “Hamlet with Lions”!  If you choose to exclude it, the new #10 becomes Independence Day (1996).

For those who may be skeptical of my list, look below the break for all the movies I didn’t count and why.
