The top Grossing thriller on IMDb is Jurassic World (2015). However the top grossing thriller on Box Office Mojo under the category of Psycho/Stalker/Blank from Hell, is Fatal Attraction (1987).
Jurassic World however is not classed as a proper thiller, it is more of an action/adventure film, with underlining thriller conventions. Jurassic World is number 3 on the top grossing movies of all time, just below Avatar and Titanic. Overall, on the opening weekends world wide it achived:
$524,418,134 (worldwide) (14 June 2015) (23,886 Screens)
Which proceds the budget which was $150,000,000 (estimated).
Fatal Attraction achived on its opening weekend in the USA only $7,602,740 (USA) (20 September 1987) (758 Screens). However it has now grossed to $320,145,693 (Worldwide).
This shows me that Thrillers are more popular when it is only used as a sub-genre, if it is paired up with other genres such as action/adventure then its more successful. Thrillers don't apeal to all audiences.
