Grossing $1 billion at the box office is an incredibly impressive feat, with 10 movies making it even more impressive by hitting this major milestone the quickest. The vast majority of movies don't get anywhere near grossing $1 billion, with most of the films that do only scraping by after their entire theatrical runs. These 10 movies, however, crossed the $1 billion mark in the blink of an eye, with the movies not only being remembered for their popularity but for their lightning-fast dash toward immense box office success.

At the time of writing, only 51 movies have grossed $1 billion, with the short list of films that have attained this milestone ranging from Jurassic World: Dominion (which made $1.003 billion) to 2009's Avatar (which made $2.922 billion). The first movie to ever obtain this achievement was Titanic, whose billion-dollar box office gross was the first of its kind. Since Titanic, though, many movies have crossed the $1 billion mark, with 10 of these movies reaching the goal far faster than Titanic did. So, here are the 10 fastest movies to gross $1 billion at the box office, ranked from slowest to fastest.

10 Avatar

Although 2009's Avatar still holds the title of the highest-grossing movie of all time, James Cameron's epic didn't hit the $1 billion mark nearly as quickly as some of its contemporaries. However, the film still did make it to $1 billion really quickly, with the movie crossing the billion-dollar line after only 19 days in theaters. At the end of the 19th day of its initial theatrical run, Avatar had made $1.02 billion, with the film's box office revenue only increasing since then. Although it may not be the fastest-grossing movie, it's hard to take anything away from Avatar's all-time box office due to it eventually making $2.922 billion.

9 Star Wars: The Last Jedi

While critically controversial, Star Wars: The Last Jedi was clearly a huge box office success, with the film being the 9th fastest movie to gross $1 billion. Much like Avatar, Episode VIII crossed $1 billion after only 19 days in theaters, although it's considered faster due to it making a total of $1.04 billion by the end of the day compared to Avatar's $1.02 billion. While Star Wars: The Last Jedi isn't the highest-grossing Star Wars movie, especially when adjusting for inflation, it is one of the fastest-grossing movies from George Lucas' beloved sci-fi franchise.

8 The Fate of the Furious

The Fast & Furious movies have always been financial successes, even more so with the series' later entries. The Fate of the Furious, the eighth movie in the Fast & Furious franchise, is also the 8th fastest movie to make $1 billion at the box office. The Fate of the Furious' box office crossed the marker after only 18 days in theaters, having made $1.06 billion. By the end of the film's theatrical run, The Fate of the Furious made $1.236 billion, showing that the film's returns significantly slowed down after its third weekend.

7 Furious 7

While The Fate of the Furious was fast, its predecessor was even faster, with Furious 7 being the 7th fastest movie to gross $1 billion. Furious 7 reached this achievement 17 days after its release, only slightly outpacing its successor. By the end of its 17th day, Furious 7 had made $1.008 billion, showing the immense speed and success of the franchise's box office. With more Fast & Furious movies still upcoming, it's possible that this list can still be shaken up, with Fast X possibly even surpassing Furious 7's final gross of $1.516 billion.

The most recent film on this list, Avatar: The Way of Water came out swinging, with the film quickly becoming the 6th fastest movie to gross $1 billion at the box office. The long-awaited sequel to 2009's Avatar made $1 billion after only 14 days, ending its second week with $1.029 billion. Avatar: The Way of Water is still climbing its way up the box office charts, having become the third highest-grossing movie of all time with a total gross of $2.244 billion. With the film still in theaters and James Cameron's pattern of re-releasing movies, though, Avatar: The Way of Water will undoubtedly continue to grow its returns.

5 Jurassic World

All of the Jurassic World movies have been box office successes, but the first Jurassic World is the fastest of the trilogy to reach $1 billion. The original Jurassic World is the 5th fastest movie to cross the mark, although it just barely scraped by having made just over $1 billion after 13 days. At the time, Jurassic World was the fastest movie to hit this mark, having surpassed the previous record holder, Furious 7. Since the release of Jurassic World, though, several other films have passed it, making it number five on the list.

4 Spider-Man: No Way Home

Spider-Man: No Way Home made $1 billion at the box office incredibly fast, no doubt aided by the massive hype that surrounded the third film in the MCU's Spider-Man trilogy. Spider-Man: No Way Home crossed $1 billion at the box office after 12 days in theaters, having made a total of $1.0544 billion. This makes Spider-Man: No Way Home the 4th fastest movie to gross $1 billion of all time, with the box office successes only continuing due to the film's whopping total gross of $1.922 billion.

3 Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is not only the highest-grossing Star Wars movie of all time, but it is also the 3rd fastest movie to make $1 billion. Star Wars: The Force Awakens had made $1.09 billion by the end of its 12th day, meaning that it only slightly outdid Spider-Man: No Way Home. The film still sits as the 5th highest-grossing movie of all time, with Star Wars: The Force Awakens' box office totaling up to $2.068 billion.

Avengers: Infinity War only slightly missed the top spot on this list, with the first part of the MCU's two-part culmination to The Infinity Saga being the 2nd fastest movie to gross $1 billion. After 11 days, Avengers: Infinity War had made $1.02 billion, which only foreshadowed the film's immense box office success. By the end of its theatrical run, Avengers: Infinity War made $2.048 billion, making it the 6th highest-grossing film of all time.

1 Avengers: Endgame

Avengers: Infinity War was only outdone by its successor, Avengers: Endgame, which is the fastest film to ever gross $1 billion at the box office. Avengers: Endgame is one of the MCU's most impressive box office achievements, with the film making $1 billion in less than half the time that Avengers: Infinity War did. Avengers: Endgame made $1.224 billion by the end of its 5th day in theaters, which is an incredible feat. Avengers: Endgame was even briefly the highest-grossing movie of all time, showing just how impressive the film's box office success was.
