1. Indiana Jones
2. Prince Caspian
3. Iron Man
4. The Dark Night (Batman)
5. Hancock
6. Wall-E
7. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon
8. Kung Fu Panda

10. Get Smart

Here are the results from Boxofficemojo.com
1. The Dark Night (Batman) - 504 Million
2. Iron Man - 317 Million
3. Indiana Jones - 315 Million
4. Hancock - 227 Million
5. Wall-E - 218 Million

9. The Incredible Hulk - 134 Million
10. Wanted - 134 Million
11. Mamma Mia - 132 Million
12. Get Smart - 128 Million

Well, I was close on a few, and far off on others. Who knew the power of female movies, Wanted and Mamma Mia.

World Wide Grosses are slightly different (from May-Sept).
1. Dark Night - 950 Million
2. Indiana Jones - 782 Million
3. Kung Fu Panda - 611 Million
4. Iron Man - 571 Million
5. Hancock - 560 Million
6. Mamma Mia - 418 Million
7. Sex and the City - 388 Million
8. Prince Caspian - 378 Million
9. The Mummy - 296 Million
10 Wall-E - 289 Million

This is why bad movies in the US get a sequel, because it made a lot of money overseas.
