How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000): $345 million

Shazam! (2019): $364 million

It was released in April 2019, but this reboot of the Captain Marvel character is set during the festive period.

Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern all returned for a rematch in this seasonal sequel.



Home Alone (1990): $477 million

Macaulay Culkin is left to fend for himself at Christmas while keeping burglars Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern at bay.



The Grinch (2018): $511 million

Last year's animated hit, based on the classic story book by Dr Seuss and starring the vocal talents of Benedict Cumberbatch and Rashida Jones.



Iron Man 3 (2013): $1.2 billion

'Fraid so - the superhero actioner starring Robert Downey Jr and Gwyneth Paltrow is set during the festive period - and, according to Marvel themselves, is a Christmas film!
