It’s official: Family films are box-office gold in 2025. Comscore data has found that PG-rated films have collectively grossed US$1.72 billion in North America over the first six months of the year. And furthermore, they appear to account for 41.5% of box-office revenue over the past year.

This is all part of a broader PG renaissance that kicked off last year, when top performers like Inside Out 2 and Moana 2 entered the highly exclusive PG-rated billion-dollar club, beating out the typically dominant PG-13 category. (Online database The Numbers estimated that PG-rated pics accounted for roughly 34% of all US box-office ticket sales in 2024—the first time they crossed the 30% mark in the website’s 30-year-old record-keeping history.)

By Box Office Mojo data, two PG live-actioners—WB Pictures’ A Minecraft Movie (pictured, US$423 million) and Disney’s Lilo & Stitch (US$409 million)—are the top grossers of the year so far domestically. And coming in fourth after the R-rated Sinners is another PG pic, Universal’s How to Train Your Dragon live-action remake (US$225 million). Last year’s holiday season release Mufasa: The Lion King from Disney is also sitting in number-10 with a US$126-million haul this year.

That said, there have also been some PG-rated underperformers in 2025, including Disney’s live-action Snow White remake and Pixar’s sci-fi original Elio, with each racking up less than US$100 million domestically. No Hollywood film has made a billion worldwide yet this year, although Lilo & Stitch is very close, with a total global take of US$975 million so far. A Minecraft Movie wasn’t too far off, either, at US$955 million worldwide, thanks in part to the chicken jockey craze.

As we head further into the summer, tentpole PG-13 films like Jurassic World Rebirth, Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps are expected to climb the US rankings soon. But there’s also some major PG-rated competition planned for the fall and holiday season, when family moviegoing tends to ramp back up. Keep an eye out for potential blockbusters like Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie (September 26), Wicked: For Good (November 21), Zootopia 2 (November 26) and The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (December 12).
