: A global leader in box office revenue, Universal relies on reliable "blockbuster machines" like the Jurassic World , Fast & Furious , and Minions franchises.

: Following its massive 2025 release, James Cameron’s latest epic from 20th Century Studios has already surpassed the $1 billion mark worldwide by early 2026.
