About
A curated list of the top 200 most commercially successful films is presented, ranked by their worldwide theatrical box-office gross. This data offers insights into the highest-earning motion pictures, but it's important to note that these figures typically refer only to theatrical revenues. They do not include significant income from home video, television rights, or pay-per-view, which can substantially increase a film's total earnings. For instance, films like Avatar and Titanic have each earned over $3 billion when home entertainment revenue is included. This dataset is ideal for analysing financial trends and successes within the film industry over several decades.
