‘The Matrix Reloaded’ (2003)
Domestic Gross: $281.6 million
The long-awaited sequel to 1999’s “The Matrix” was launched to eager viewers in 2003, breaking box office records and earning more than $100 million more than the film. “The Matrix Reloaded” eventually surpassed “Beverly Hills Cop” as the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. It wouldn’t last long, but it will be the most successful R-rated sequel in 15 years. “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” “Finding Nemo,” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” were both huge hits in 2003, but “The Matrix Reloaded” had the best opening weekend.
