How to read these box-office figures
Worldwide theatrical gross, not profit
The ranking uses worldwide theatrical gross: the amount reported across domestic and international theatrical markets. It is not the studio’s take-home revenue, which is not calculated comparably in the sources used for this list. It also excludes non-theatrical measures such as streaming performance.
Rank #4
Nominal dollars, not adjusted for inflation
The amounts are not adjusted for inflation. As a result, the ranking compares reported grosses from releases as far apart as 2000 and 2022 in nominal dollars; it does not compare their purchasing power or estimate which film would lead after inflation adjustment.
Why trackers disagree
Filmography aggregators can differ because they may include different acting credits, reflect gross revisions at different times, or handle rereleases differently. The figures here are rounded estimates from secondary trackers, not reconciled studio statements. A precise all-time total would require checking each film’s individual tracker entry and its treatment of rereleases.

The top two are both franchise films released in the 2010s or later: Thor: Love and Thunder and Man of Steel. Yet Gladiator, released in 2000, remains among Crowe’s three biggest theatrical successes by nominal worldwide gross. The order describes box-office scale, not critical standing or the quality of Crowe’s performances.
