How to read this ranking
It compares reported worldwide theatrical grosses
A worldwide gross is ticket revenue reported across markets, not a measure of a film’s profit or of the amount ultimately retained by a studio. Production and marketing costs, distribution arrangements and exhibitors’ shares are not accounted for in this ranking.
The figures are nominal, not inflation-adjusted
The totals are not adjusted for inflation, so a dollar from an older release is counted at its reported value rather than converted to today’s purchasing power. That particularly affects comparisons between older titles such as Out of Africa and recent releases.

One database keeps the ranking internally consistent
Box-office databases can give different lifetime totals. For example, The Numbers lists Mamma Mia! at $580,807,527 worldwide, rather than Box Office Watch’s rounded $610.0 million. The Numbers reports The Devil Wears Prada 2 at $693,255,456 worldwide; its original-film figure is $326,073,155, while Box Office Mojo reports $326,590,782 for the original across all releases. These are database-reported figures, not a single universal accounting total. The ranking uses one source’s values throughout rather than combining databases.
