What are the highest-grossing comedy movies of all time?
According to box office sales as of 2009, the highest grossing comedy movie that uses actors (not an animated movie) is Home Alone, a comedy-drama about a boy who is accidentally left at home when his family leaves on a Christmas skiing vacation. However, there is an ample amount of comedy in movies boasting higher box office sales that are not in the comedy category. For instance, animated movies such as the Shrek series and several Disney animated movies have made more money than Home Alone. Also, Disney has produced higher grossing movies like the Pirates of the Caribbean series, considered to be in the action-adventure category, but with enough comedy to be considered an action-adventure-comedy classification by many critics. Online resources for box office sales can be found at sites like The Numbers.
