What this ranking includes—and what it does not
This is a worldwide theatrical-gross ranking, not a domestic-only chart. Box Office Mojo lists domestic lifetime grosses for the films as a separate measure; domestic figures answer a different question and are not used here.

The totals are nominal database figures, not adjusted for inflation. They measure reported box-office receipts—not ticket sales, profitability, studio earnings, or popularity. Totals may differ between databases and can change following re-releases or later corrections.
The ranking covers the five released theatrical features with reported worldwide totals in The Numbers’ franchise table. It excludes The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild and television specials, which do not have comparable worldwide theatrical totals listed there. The official franchise site lists Ice Age: Boiling Point as upcoming, with an in-theaters date of February 5, 2027; it has no completed gross to rank, and release dates can change.
