( ... ) Syne grosses are nae leemitit tae original theatrical runs, a film's first-run gross is includit in brackets efter the tot if kent.

*Canada and U.S. gross only.

RDistributor rental.

TBATae be ascertained.

INNa contemporary soorces provide feegurs for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, awtho The Numbers provides a feegur o $8,000,000 for the North American box office gross.[9] Houiver, it is possible this feegur haes been mistaken for the gross o the 1954 remak that an aw earned $8,000,000 in North American rentals.[10]

FHSome soorces sic as The Numbers state that Aloma of the South Seas is the heichest grossin film o the year, earnin $3 million.[11] Hoiover, na contemporary soorces provide feegurs for Aloma of the South Seas, sae it is unclear whit the $3 million feegur relates tae. If it war the rental gross then that wad hae made it nae anerly the heichest-grossing film o the year, but ane o the heichest-grossin films o the seelent era, an if that is the case it wad be unuisual for baith International Motion Picture Almanac an Variety tae omit it frae thair leets.

SSIt is nae clear if the feegur for Sunny Side Up is for North Americae or warldwide. Ither soorces pit its earnins at $2 million,[12] that mey suggest the heicher feegur is the warldwide rental, gien the confusion ower internaitional feegurs in this period.[13]

ONThe feegur for It Happened One Night is nae truly representative o its success: it wis distributit as a package deal alang wi mair nor twa dizen ither Columbia films, an the tot earnins war averaged oot; the true gross wad hae been muckle heicher.

S7Snow White's $418 million global cume omits earnins ootside o North Americae frae 1987 onwart.

GWIt is nae absolutely clear hou muckle Gone with the Wind earned frae its ineetial release. Contemporary accoonts eften leet it as earnin $32 million in North American rentals an retrospective chairts hae eften duplicatit this claim; houiver, it is likely this wis the warldwide rental feegur. Tred jurnals wad collate the data bi aither obteenin it frae the distributors themsels, that war keen tae promote a successfu film, or bi surveyin theatres an constructin an estimate. Distributors wad eften report the warldwide rental syne the heicher feegur made the film appear mair successfu, while estimates war leemitit tae performance in North Americae; tharefore it wis nae unuisual for warldwide an North American rentals tae be mixed up. Follaein the ootbreak o Warld War II, mony o the furrin mercats war unavailable tae Hollywood sae it becam staundart practice tae juist report on North American box-office performance.[13] In keepin wi this new approach, the North American rental for Gone with the Wind wis revised tae $21 million in 1947 ($11 million lawer than the previous feegur),[14] an as o 1953—follaein the 1947 re-release—Variety was reportin earnins o $26 million.[15] Throu 1956, MGM reportit cumulative North American earnins o $30,015,000 an furrin earnins o $18,964,000, frae three releases.[16] Warldwide rentals o $32 million frae the ineetial release is conseestent wi the revised feegurs an later reportit warldwide feegurs: thay indicate that the film earned $21 million in North America an $11 million owerseas frae the ineetial release, an addit a further $9 million in North Americae an $8 million owerseas frae subsequent re-releases up tae 1956.

MDMom and Dad daes nae generally featur in 'heich-gross' leets sic as thae published bi Variety due tae its independent distribution. Essentially belangin tae the exploitation genre, it wis mercatit as an eddicational sex hygiene film in an effort tae circumvent censorship laws. Fawing foul o the Motion Picture Production Code, Mom and Dad wis preventit frae obtainin mainstream distribution an restrictit tae independent an drive-in theaters. It wis the biggest hit o its kynd, an remeened in conteenual distribution till the 1970s whan haurdcore pornografie eventually teuk ower. At the end o 1947 it haed earned $2 million, an bi 1949, $8 million; bi 1956 it haed earned $22 million in rentals, representin a gross o $80 million, an wad hae easily placed in the tap ten films in the late 1940s an early 1950s. Estimates o its tot earnins are as heich as $100 million.

UNChopra-Gant stipulates that the feegur given for Unconquered is for North American box-office, but as wis common at the time, the chairt confuises warldwide an North American grosses. Ither soorces state that the takkins for Forever Amber ($8 million) an Life with Father ($6.5 million)[17] war in fact warldwide rental grosses, so it is possible this is an aw true o Unconquered.

CIThe Cinerama feegurs represent gross amoonts. Syne the Cinerama corporation awned the theatres thare war na rental fees for the films, meanin the studio received 100% o the box-office gross, unlik the case wi maist ither films whaur the distributor teepically receives less than hauf the gross. Syne Variety at the time ranked films bi thair US rental, thay constructit a hypothetical rental feegur for the Cinerama films tae provide a basis for comparison tae ither films in thair chairt: in the case o This Is Cinerama, the $50 million warldwide gross wis reconfeegured as a $12.5 million US rental gross; this is exactly 25% o the amoont reportit bi Cinerama, so Variety's formula seeminly haufed the gross tae obteen an estimate for the US share, an haufed it again tae simulate a rental fee. Variety's 'rental' amoonts are eften repeatit, but hae na basis in the reality o whit the films actually earned—thay are hypothetical feegurs conceived for comparative analysis.[18] Aw five Cinerama featurs collectively generatit $120 million in warldwide box office receipts.[19]

GSVariety pit the warldwide rental for The Greatest Show on Earth at aroond $18.35 million (wi $12.8 million comin frae the Unitit States[10]) a year after its release; however, Birchard puts its earnings at just over $15 million up to 1962. It is likely that Birchard's figure is just the North American gross rental, and includes revenue from the 1954 and 1960 reissues.

SWThe "first run" Star Wars grosses dinna include revenue frae the 1997 special-edeetion releases; houiver, the feegur daes include revenue frae the re-releases prior tae the special edeetions.

HPProduction costs war shared wi Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.

  13. ↑ a b Hall & Neale 2010, pp. 6–7. "For similar reasons of accountability, Variety has typically used figures for domestic (U.S. and Canadian) rather than worldwide revenue. This became its standard policy in 1940, when the advent of war in Europe persuaded the American film industry (temporarily, as it turned out) that it should be wholly reliant on the home market for profitability. Where specific rentals data are reported in Variety before this (which tended to be only sporadically) they were often for worldwide rather domestic performance. This was also the case with other trade sources, such as Quigley's annual Motion Picture Almanac, which published its own all-time hits lists from the early 1930s onward. The subsequent confusion of domestic and worldwide figures, and of rental and box-office figures, has plagued many published accounts of Hollywood history (sometimes including those in Variety itself), and we have attempted to be diligant in clarifying the differences between them."

The Birth of a Nation, costing an unprecedented and, many believed, thoroughly foolhardy $110,000, eventually returned $20 million and more. The actual figure is hard to calculate because the film was distributed on a "states' rights" basis in which licenses to show the film were sold outright. The actual cash generated by The Birth of a Nation may have been as much as $50 million to $100 million, an almost inconceivable amount for such an early film.

Various accounts have cited $15 to $18 million profits during the first few years of release, while in a letter to a potential investor in the proposed sound version, Aitken noted that a $15 to $18 million box-office gross was a 'conservative estimate'. For years Variety has listed The Birth of a Nation's total rental at $50 million. (This reflects the total amount paid to the distributor, not box-office gross.) This 'trade legend' has finally been acknowledged by Variety as a 'whopper myth', and the amount has been revised to $5 million. That figure seems far more feasible, as reports of earnings in the Griffith collection list gross receipts for 1915–1919 at slightly more than $5.2 million (including foreign distribution) and total earnings after deducting general office expenses, but not royalties, at about $2 million.

Variety, for example, reported that Hell's Angels cost $3.2 million to make, and by July, 1931, eight months after its release, the production cost had nearly been paid off. Keats claimed the picture cost $4 million to make and that it earned twice that much within twenty years. The production cost estimate is probably correct. Hughes worked on the picture for over two years, shooting it first as a silent and then as a talkie. Lewis Milestone said that in between Hughes experimented with shooting it in color as well. But Variety's earnings report must be the fabrication of a delirious publicity agent, and Keats' the working of a myth maker. During the seven years it was in United Artists distribution, Hell's Angels grossed $1.6 million in the domestic market, of which Hughes' share was $1.2 million. Whatever the foreign gross was, it seems unlikely that it was great enough to earn a profit for the picture.

It was the most popular film of the year (from any studio) in both North America and Britain, and its foreign earnings were three times higher than those of any other MGM film released in the 1941–42 season. The production cost ($1,344,000) was one of the highest of the season, indicating the studio never thought of the film as a potential loss-maker. When the film earned a worldwide gross of $8,878,000, MGM had the highest profit ($4,831,000) in its history. Random Harvest nearly matched the success of Mrs Miniver with worldwide earnings of $8,147,000 yielding the second-highest profit in MGM's history ($4,384,000). Random Harvest was also the most popular film of the year in Britain, where it proved to be even more popular than Britain's most acclaimed war film, In Which We Serve.

Leading the pack of postwar sex hygiene films was Mom and Dad (1944), which would become not only the most successful sex hygiene film in history but the biggest pre-1960 exploitation film of any kind. At the end of 1947, the Los Angeles Times reported that Mom and Dad had grossed $2 million. By 1949 Time had estimated that Mom and Dad had taken in $8 million from twenty million moviegoers. And publicity issuing from Mom and Dad's production company indicated that by the end of 1956 it had grossed over $80 million worldwide. Net rentals of around $22 million by 1956 would easily place it in the top ten films of the late 1940s and early 1950s had it appeared on conventional lists. Some estimates have placed its total gross over the years at up to $100 million, and it was still playing drive-in dates into 1975...The film was made for around $65,000 with a crew of Hollywood veterans including director William "One Shot" Beaudine, cinematographer Marcel LePicard, and a cast that sported old stalwarts Hardie Albright, Francis Ford, and John Hamilton.
