Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation is Adam Sandler’s biggest reported worldwide box-office hit, with $527.4 million, followed by Hotel Transylvania 2 at $474.8 million. The ranking below uses nominal worldwide theatrical grosses reported by Box Office Watch, includes Sandler’s voice performances, and excludes films without a reported worldwide total.
How the ranking is measured
Figures are reported nominal worldwide theatrical grosses, not inflation-adjusted totals, domestic-only grosses, budgets, or studio profit. Box Office Watch compiles figures from public sources, trade and studio reporting, and public industry reporting; totals can differ among trackers or be revised. The ranking is an ordering of the reported figures, not a claim that the studios audited them.

Voice performances count: that is why the Hotel Transylvania films appear. A missing worldwide figure is not the same as zero, so titles without a reported value are not ranked. The Numbers describes its worldwide chart as ranking movies by worldwide box-office earnings, but this list uses the Sandler filmography and figures reported by Box Office Watch.
Adam Sandler’s highest-grossing films worldwide
| Rank | Film | Worldwide gross |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation | $527.4 million |
| 2 | Hotel Transylvania 2 | $474.8 million |
| 3 | Grown Ups | $271.0 million |
| 4 | Click | $241.0 million |
| 5 | Big Daddy | $228.6 million |
| 6 | Just Go with It | $215.0 million |
All figures in the table are Box Office Watch reported worldwide totals, accessed in 2026. The list includes the leading reported figures surfaced for this filmography; it should not be read as a studio-certified accounting of every Sandler credit.

Why the animated films lead
The two top entries are animated films in which Sandler performs the voice of Dracula. Sony Pictures Animation’s official synopsis for Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation describes the monster family taking a cruise so Drac can take a break from running the hotel. Sony announced more than $425 million in theatrical grosses in an August 27, 2018 home-video release notice; that was an interim figure at that date, not the current final tracker total shown above.
Sony’s official Hotel Transylvania 3 page lists Digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD availability. That format information is separate from the box-office ranking.

What a worldwide gross does—and does not—tell you
A worldwide gross is the reported amount generated by theatrical ticket sales across markets, potentially including later theatrical re-releases. It is not the amount a studio keeps. Theaters retain a share of ticket revenue, and a film’s distribution, marketing, production, and other costs affect its financial result. Box Office Watch explicitly cautions that a gross-to-budget ratio is not studio profit because marketing costs are excluded from budgets.
For that reason, these figures answer which films have the largest reported theatrical grosses, not which were most profitable, most popular after release, or most successful on home video and streaming. They also do not adjust for inflation, which means older releases are not being compared in the purchasing power of today’s dollars.
