9. Spider-Man: No Way Home

As one of the highest rated Spider-Man movies ever, it was no surprise that Spider-Man: No Way Home was the ninth most popular movie of 2022!

8. Thor: Love and Thunder

Well, it looks like Marvel did its job once again! Based on the Marvel comic, this film is the sequel to the popular 2017 movie Thor: Ragnarok. Chris Hemsworth does a phenomenal job playing the mighty, all-powerful Thor. And with a ton of action, thrills, and a little romance, there’s no question as to why it sold over 37 million tickets nationwide! 

7. The Batman

6. Minions: The Rise of Gru

We’ve had too many superhero movies in the top ten; it’s time to change things up a bit! This one tells the story of a wanna-be super villain who aspires to be truly despicable. With over 40 million tickets sold nationwide, this one is sure to get you laughing.

5. Jurassic World: Dominion

This is nothing more exciting than an adventure with dinosaurs! As the sequel to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, this film is the epic conclusion of the most recent Jurassic Park trilogy. You know an action-packed science fiction movie featuring Chris Pratt has to be worth the watch!

2.  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever falls just short of the top spot. It’s always hard for a sequel to live up to the original film, but Wakanda Forever didn’t fall short of that task at all.

1. Top Gun: Maverick
