I just looked at the list of top grossing movies in 2013. Interestingly five of the ten have some sort of connection to comics, graphic novels, animation or comic books.
| Rank | Title | 2013 Gross |
| 1 | Iron Man 3 | $408,992,272 |
| 2 | The Hunger Games: Catching Fire | $400,088,390 |
| 3 | Despicable Me $367,860,095 | |
| 4 | Man of Steel | $291,045,518 |
| 5 | Frozen | $277,116,204 |
| 6 | Monsters University | $268,488,329 |
| 7 | Gravity | $255,144,426 |
| 8 | Fast and Furious 6 | $238,679,850 |
| 9 | Oz the Great and Powerful | $234,770,996 |
| 10 | Star Trek Into Darkness | $228,778,661 |

Surprisingly I have only seen 3 of the movies on this list. It would have been more if I hadn’t start working on a comic strip last July. The one I am really disappointed I didn’t see in the theatres was Gravity.
