During the last ten years, several action films have delivered solid box-office performances. The list includes the mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015), Fast X (2023), No Time to Die (2021), and Furious 7 (2015), among others. Last year, in 2025, Jurassic World: Rebirth and Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning crossed the $500 million worldwide milestone.
Until now, in 2026, no action-genre film has hit the $500 million worldwide target. The epic Chinese martial arts action film, Blades of the Guardians, is currently the top-grossing action movie of the year with a $215.4 million worldwide total.
On June 12, 2026, the Hong Kong action film The Furious was released in theaters. The martial arts movie currently holds a stellar 97% critics’ score and 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. But the question is: Can the highly positive critical reception translate into equally impressive ticket sales? With that in mind, let’s take a look at how much The Furious would need to earn to crack the current top five live-action, highest-grossing action films of 2026 globally.
