Average: $35,822,719NOTE:
"Fantasy" refers to movies about a quest set in a fantastical world,
be it this one with supernatural tendencies or another one a la Middle-earth. Technically speaking, the Star Wars
movies are fantasy, but it's (falsely) perceived as sci-fi. Hence, its inclusion
on this list would not be illuminating in how this genre fares at the box
office.
