It was a huge year for movies to enter this year's Guinness World Records book as Transformers, The Artist, and Twilight dominated the cinema records.
The Twilight Saga added more records to its already massive influence, including the highest grossing vampire film with The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009), which had grossed $710m (£440m) worldwide by April 2010.
The most successful feature film spin-off from a TV show was Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011), which by the start of 2012 had accumulated over $1 billion worldwide. The film also holds the record for most vehicles destroyed in the making of a movie with 532 automobiles totaled.
The Artist (2011) racked up a few records as well, including the first French winner of the Best Actor Oscar and the highest box office gross for a silent film.
In terms of animated movies, Toy Story 3 (2010) took the title as the highest grossing animated feature. The critically acclaimed third part of the Toy Story series had grossed over $1063 million (£732m) by the end of 2010.
Now officially the most successful movie in history - at least in terms of box-office takings - James Cameron's Avatar (2009) grossed a global total of $2,768,463,014 as of 23 September 2010. This made it the first movie to gross over $2 billion.
All these records and many, many more feature in the new Guinness World Records 2013 edition - available worldwide on 13th September 2012!
