Stan Lee Is Now The Highest-Grossing Movie Producer Of All Time At Domestic Box Office

[KingsOfKings]

While most people might have expected names like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, or even Michael Bay to be atop the highest-grossing movie producers list, Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee stands above them all.

With the success of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Stan Lee has become the highest-grossing movie producer of all time at the domestic box office. Avengers: Age of Ultron has grossed $413 million at the domestic box office, pushing the total domestic gross of films where Stan Lee has served as a producer to $6.8 billion.

To take the top spot, Lee passed by Steven Spielberg, who has been a producer on movies with a total gross of $6.76 billion. Lee also ranks above Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy ($5.4 billion), Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige (5.3 billion), and Legendary Pictures’ Thomas Tull ($4.7 billion).

If Lee will finish the year atop the highest-grossing producers list remains to be seen, as Jurassic World will likely push Spielberg back on top in June. However, Lee could retake the lead again when Ant-Man gets released in July.

Is he exclusive to marvel studios now? I noticed he hasn't been in the last few x men movies like he was in the original trilogy in the early 00s

to be honest, I'm not sure what his talent is. I think every time a character at marvel was created, his swooped in and took 1/2 the credit. and it's not like he can write or draw either.

Literally too because his 'Executive Producer' credit is just in name only.

Why'd all these writers, creators and 'real' artists let him do that to them?

I think cuz he was the editor in charge at marvel.

There's a lesson for all artists, make sure you're in charge.
Stan still teaching.

Isn't it made clear to artists/ writers that characters they create working on these titles belong to the company? I'm pretty sure that's standard procedure

'The Image Revolution' is a doc that deals with that issue - MacFarlane, Jim Lee, Silvestri, Rob Liefeld and them basically said 'fukk That Noise' and started their own company.

That was during my heyday of collecting to. Besides Spawn though the comics were kinda meh IMO. Love Jim Lee art but I don't even remember the comic he created for Image.

Yet he had 1st 2nd or/and third hand creation in absolutely everything. No idea escaped the house of ideas without stan the mans approval.
