Methods
This site is a student-built catalogue that groups films by lifetime worldwide box-office. Totals can shift over time due to re-releases, currency changes, and updated studio reporting. The aim here is clarity and consistency. I have attempted to adjust for all of these things when ranking films using websites listed below. This is a simple snapshot, not a live tracker.
Box Office Websites
Websites like The Numbers and Box Office Mojo are popular tools for monitoring movie receipts. IMDb-owned Box Office Mojo offers thorough analyses of domestic and foreign grosses, release dates, and studio comparisons. The Numbers focuses on financial research, covering everything from movie production expenditures to box office data and home media sales. These websites offer fans, critics, and filmmakers information about how well films do at the box office and compare to their rivals.
