Gone with the Wind memegang rekor film berpenghasilan tertinggi selama 25 tahun. Apabila angkanya disesuaikan dengan inflasi, film ini juga merupakan film berpenghasilan tertinggi sepanjang masa.
Film meraup penghasilan dari berbagai media, antara lain bioskop, video rumahan (kaset), hak penyiarantelevisi, dan pernak-pernik. Namun, penghasilan box office bioskop merupakan acuan utama industri dalam menilai kesuksesan sebuah film. Alasannya, data bioskop lebih mudah diakses daripada data penjualan kaset dan hak siar. Selain itu, industri perfilman sudah biasa memakai data bioskop. Artikel ini berisi daftar film peraih box office tertinggi (berdasarkan nilai riil versus nominal penghasilannya), daftar film berpenghasilan tertinggi berdasarkan tahun kalender, urutan peralihan rekor film berpenghasilan tertinggi, dan daftar seri film berpenghasilan tertinggi. Semua daftar diurutkan berdasarkan penghasilan box office bioskop internasional (apabila ada datanya) tanpa menghitung hasil penjualan kaset, hak siar, dan pernak-pernik.
Meski prestasi sebagian besar film tahun 1960-an dan 1970-an terkikis oleh inflasi, masih ada seri film zaman itu yang dilanjutkan sampai sekarang. Selain seri Star Wars dan Superman, film-film James Bond dan Star Trek masih dirilis secara rutin; keempat judul tersebut merupakan seri-seri film berpenghasilan tertinggi. Beberapa film lama yang memegang rekor film berpenghasilan tertinggi masih mempertahankan rekornya menurut standar masa kini, tetapi secara nominal dikalahkan oleh film-film top masa kini yang mendulang hasil dari naiknya harga tiket penonton. Apabila disesuaikan dengan inflasi, secara komparatif, Gone with the Wind—pemegang rekor film berpenghasilan tertinggi selama 25 tahun—masih merupakan film berpenghasilan tertinggi sepanjang masa. Semua penghasilan di daftar ini memakai kurs dolar Amerika Serikat dalam nilai nominal, kecuali penghasilan yang diberi keterangan tambahan.
Film berpenghasilan tertinggi
Tiga dari empat film berpenghasilan tertinggi, termasuk Avatar di urutan teratas, ditulis dan disutradarai oleh James Cameron.
Dengan penghasilan box office global lebih dari $2,9 miliar, Avatar menjadi film "berpenghasilan tertinggi", tetapi klaim ini biasanya hanya mengacu kepada penghasilan dari bioskop tanpa menghitung hasil penjualan kaset dan hak siar televisi (porsinya cukup besar dalam total penghasilan film). Apabila hasil penjualan kaset juga dihitung, film mana yang paling sukses tidak bisa langsung ditentukan. Titanic meraup $1,2 miliar dari penjualan dan penyewaan video dan DVD,[1] ditambah $2,2 miliar dari hasil penjualan tiket. Meski total hasil penjualan Avatar belum diketahui, film ini mendapatkan $345 juta lewat penjualan 16 juta keping DVD dan Blu-ray di Amerika Utara[2] dengan total penjualan 30 juta keping DVD dan Blu-ray di seluruh dunia.[3] Apabila hasil penjualan kaset dihitung, dua film ini masing-masing meraup lebih dari $3 miliar. Hak penyiaran televisi juga berkontribusi besar terhadap penghasilan film. Penjualan hak siar televisi ditambah hasil sewa film (pay-per-view) biasanya setara dengan 20–25% penghasilan box office;[4]Titanic mendapatkan $55 juta dari hak siar NBC dan HBO,[1] setara dengan 9% penghasilan kotornya di Amerika Utara.
Apabila sebuah film sangat mudah dieksploitasi sebagai barang komersial, penghasilan tambahannya bisa mengalahkan hasil penjualan langsung.[5]The Lion King menghasilkan lebih dari $2 miliar lewat pemutaran bioskop dan penjualan kaset,[6] tetapi dikalahkan oleh $6 miliar yang dihasilkan lewat pemutaran adaptasi musikalnya di bioskop-bioskop di seluruh dunia.[7]Pernak-pernik juga sangat menguntungkan: The Lion King mendapatkan $3 miliar lewat penjualan pernak-pernik,[8] sedangkan Cars—$462 juta lewat pemutaran bioskop dan dianggap biasa saja bila dibandingkan dengan film Pixar lainnya[9]—meraup lebih dari $8 miliar lewat penjualan pernak-pernik di seluruh dunia lima tahun setelah dirilis tahun 2006.[10][11] Pixar mencetak rekor lagi melalui Toy Story 3, film yang menghasilkan hampir $10 miliar lewat penjualan pernak-pernik ditambah $1 miliar dari pemutaran bioskop.[12]
Di daftar ini, film diurutkan berdasarkan penghasilan dari pemutaran bioskop dalam nilai nominal dan peringkat tertinggi yang dicapai. Secara keseluruhan, 39 film meraup lebih dari $1 miliar di seluruh dunia, lima di antaranya meraup lebih dari $2 miliar, dipuncaki oleh Avatar. Semua film ditayangkan (dan ditayangkan ulang) di bioskop pada abad ke-21. Film-film yang tidak diputar pada abad tersebut tidak masuk daftar karena terkena inflasi harga tiket. Jumlah penduduk dan tren membeli tiket tidak dipertimbangkan.
† Latar berwarna berarti film masih diputar satu pekan sejak 12 Desember 2024 di bioskop di seluruh dunia.
TTotal yang diberikan untuk Titanic di Box Office Mojo dan The Numbers keduanya salah. Sebelum dirilis ulang pada tahun 2023, jumlah total di kedua pelacak meningkat di atas angka sebenarnya.
Pada tahun 2019, Box Office Mojo dengan tepat mencatat bahwa Titanic telah meraup $1,843 miliar pada rilis aslinya, $344 juta dari penerbitan ulang 3D pada tahun 2012, dan tambahan $692.000 dari rilis terbatas pada tahun 2017 dengan total seumur hidup sebesar $2,187 miliar.[14] Setelah rilis ulang terbatas pada tahun 2020, Box Office Mojo secara keliru menambahkan $7 juta ke total rilis aslinya.[15] Pada akhir tahun 2021, Box Office Mojo telah mengoreksi total rilis aslinya, tetapi menambahkan angka $7 juta ke total rilis ulang tahun 2012 dan 2017, sehingga secara keliru meningkatkan total seumur hidup sebesar $14 juta menjadi $2,202 miliar.[16] Pada awal tahun 2023, Box Office Mojo mengoreksi total pendapatan kotor yang diterbitkan ulang pada tahun 2017, sehingga pendapatan kotor seumur hidup turun menjadi $2,195 miliar, tetapi tetap mempertahankan kesalahan pada penerbitan ulang tahun 2012.[17]
The Numbers tidak mencatat rilis individual, namun mencatat total seumur hidup sebesar $2,186 miliar pada bulan September 2014 (kira-kira setara dengan $1,843 miliar untuk rilis asli dan $343,6 juta untuk rilis ulang 3D).[18] Beberapa minggu kemudian, The Numbers meningkatkan pendapatan kotor seumur hidup menjadi $2,208 miliar, tanpa penjelasan.[19]
FBox Office Mojo tidak lagi memperbarui total penghasilan utama Frozen pada bulan Agustus 2014, padahal masih diputar. Total yang dicantumkan di sini mencakup penghasilan di Jepang, Nigeria, Spanyol, Britania Raya, dan Jerman hingga akhir 2015, tetapi tidak mencakup penghasilan di Turki, Islandia, Brasil, dan Australia (2016) yang mencapai sekian ratus ribu dolar. Film ini ditayangkan ulang di Britania Raya pada Desember 2017; Olaf's Frozen Adventure meraup $2,3 juta lagi di negara itu. Totalnya dibulatkan menjadi $1 juga karena memperhitungkan ketidakakuratan angka. F8Penghasilan kotor The Fate of the Furious diambil dari BoxOffice alih-alih sumber utama daftar ini, Box Office Mojo, karena ada anomali dalam jumlah Box Office Mojo. Penurunan total hasil mingguan di beberapa negara—paling parah di Argentina—memicu penurunan total global.[20] Karena ada dugaan anomali di sumber, daftar ini juga menyertakan angka alternatif. TS3Box Office Mojo merevisi penghasilan kotor film-film Pixar pada Agustus 2016. Karena itu, penghasilan kotor Toy Story 3 dikoreksi dari $1,063 miliar menjadi $1,067 miliar.[21][22] Artinya, film ini menempati posisi #4 pada akhir masa rilisnya, bukan #5, sesuai yang tercantum dalam sumber. PSAngka Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone adalah penghasilan box office dini yang pada tahun 2001 merupakan angka tertinggi kedua setelah Titanic. Angka Jurassic Park lebih tinggi daripada angka Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone karena ditambah hasil penayangan ulang 3-D tahun 2013. DM2Disney merilis perbaikan penghasilan kotor The Lion King dari $987,5 juta menjadi $968,5 juta.[23] Artinya, Despicable Me 2 naik satu tingkat pada akhir masa rilisnya.
Film berpenghasilan tertinggi sesuai inflasi
Tingkat inflasi di seluruh dunia bervariasi sehingga mempersulit penyesuaian inflasi.
Karena dampak inflasi berjangka panjang, terutama kenaikan pesat harga tiket bioskop, daftar yang tidak disesuaikan dengan inflasi lebih memihak kepada film-film baru.[24] Daftar yang belum disesuaikan, sering dijumpai di media massa, tidak berguna apabila ingin membandingkan film-film yang rentang tahunnya jauh. Karena itu, banyak film-film lama yang tidak muncul lagi di daftar modern yang belum disesuaikan, padahal pendapatan komersialnya lebih tinggi apabila disesuaikan dengan kenaikan harga tiket.[25] Untuk menutup penurunan nilai mata uang (devaluasi), beberapa tabel menyesuaikan datanya dengan inflasi. Namun, penyesuaian inflasi pun tidak sepenuhnya mengatasi masalah ini karena harga tiket dan inflasi tidak selalu sejalan. Contohnya, pada tahun 1970, harga tiket adalah $1,55, sekitar $6,68 menurut nilai dolar 2004 sesuai inflasi; pada tahun 1980, harganya naik menjadi $2,69, turun menjadi $5,50 menurut nilai dolar 2004 sesuai inflasi.[26] Harga tiket juga naik mengikuti variasi inflasi di berbagai negara sehingga mempersulit penyesuaian penghasilan kotor global.[24]
Hambatan lain adalah perilisan film dalam berbagai format dengan harga tiket yang berbeda. Contohnya, Avatar dirilis dalam format 3D dan IMAX: hampir dua per tiga tiket film ini berasal dari penayangan 3D dengan harga rata-rata $10, sedangkan seperenam lainnya berasal dari penayangan IMAX dengan harga rata-rata di atas $14.50, berbeda dengan harga rata-rata $7,61 untuk penayangan 2D tahun 2010.[27] Faktor sosial dan ekonomi seperti perubahan jumlah penduduk[28] dan pertumbuhan pasar internasional[29][30][31] turut memengaruhi jumlah orang yang membeli tiket bioskop, demografi penonton (beberapa film menjual lebih banyak tiket diskon untuk anak-anak), atau kelarisan/popularitas film di kota-kota besar yang harga tiketnya lebih mahal.[25]
Sistem pengukuran keberhasilan sebuah film didasarkan pada penghasilan kotor tanpa penyesuaian. Alasannya, sistemnya memang seperti ini dari dulu mengikuti praktik industri perfilman: hasil penjualan tiket dihitung per bioskop dan diteruskan ke distributor, kemudian distributor merilis totalnya ke media massa.[32] Beralih ke sistem yang lebih adil yang menghitung penjualan tiket alih-alih hitungan kotor belum tentu cocok karena satu-satunya data yang tersedia untuk film lama adalah total penjualan tiket.[28] Karena industri perfilman semakin mengutamakan pemasaran film-film yang baru dirilis, angka tanpa penyesuaian selalu dipakai di iklan-iklan supaya film blockbuster baru bisa meningkatkan penjualannya secara pesat dan merebut gelar "film top sepanjang masa".[26][33] Karena itu, sedikit sekali alasan untuk beralih ke sistem yang lebih ajeg dari sudut pandang pemasaran maupun pemberitaan.[32]
Meski ada penyesuaian inflasi agak menyulitkan, sejumlah pihak berusaha melakukannya. Perkiraan bergantung kepada indeks harga yang dipakai untuk menyesuaikan penghasilan kotor,[33] lalu nilai tukar yang dipakai untuk menukarkan mata uang juga dapat memengaruhi penghitungan, keduanya dapat memengaruhi peringkat akhir dalam daftar yang sesuai inflasi. Gone with the Wind—pertama dirilis tahun 1939—diakui secara luas sebagai film tersukses sepanjang masa. Pada tahun 2014, Guinness World Records memeprkirakan penghasilan kotor globalnya sesuai inflasi mencapai $3,4 miliar. Perkiraan penghasilan kotor sesuai inflasi Gone with the Wind sangat bervariasi; pemiliknya, Turner Entertainment, memperkirakan penghasilan sesuai inflasinya $3,3 miliar pada 2007, beberapa tahun sebelum Guinness;[34] perkiraan lainnya mencantumkan antara dua angka tersebut, ada yang mencantumkan kurang dari $3 miliar tahun 2010,[35] dan ada yang mencantumkan $3,8 miliar tahun 2006.[36] Film pesaing Gone with the Wind bergantung kepada angka yang digunakan: Guinness meletakkan Avatar di peringkat kedua dengan penghasilan $3 miliar, sedangkan perkiraan lain meletakkan Titanic di peringkat kedua dengan penghasilan penayangan perdana global hampir $2,9 miliar menurut harga tahun 2010.[35]
Film berpenghasilan tertinggi hingga 2022[update] sesuai inflasi[37][Inf]
InfPenyesuaian inflasi menggunakan indeks harga konsumen negara-negara maju versi Dana Moneter Internasional.[38] Indeks ini digunakan secara seragam ke semua penghasilan kotor di daftar Guinness World Records tahun 2014, dimulai dengan indeks 2014. Angka di tabel di atas mempertimbangkan inflasi tahun 2014 dan seterusnya.
TTotal penghasilan sesuai inflasi Titanic menurut Guinness naik $102.000.000 antara edisi 2012 (terbit tahun 2011) dan edisi 2015, kenaikan sebesar 4,2% diterapkan ke total penghasilan sesuai inflasi lainnya di tabel di atas dan tidak menghitung penghasilan kotor dari penayangan ulang 3D tahun 2012.[37][39] Tabel ini menyertakan penghasilan kotor sebesar $343.550.770 dari penayangan ulang dan menyesuaikan inflasinya dari indeks tahun 2014.[40] Penghasilan Titanic bertambah $691.642 setelah penayangan ulang terbatas dalam rangka ulang tahun ke-20 tahun 2017, tetapi angkanya tidak dihitung dalam total penghasilan sesuai inflasi.[41]
AEKarena Avengers: Endgame dirilis tahun 2019, penghasilan kotornya tidak mengalami penyesuaian inflasi.
Film berpenghasilan tertinggi menurut tahun
Glosarium: Sewa distributor
Angka box office dilaporkan dalam bentuk penghasilan kotor atau sewa distributor (distributor rentals). Sewa distributor lumrah di film-film lama. Orang sering salah mengira sewa sebagai penghasilan kaset. Sewa adalah porsi distributor dari total penghasilan film di bioskop. Singkatnya, penghasilan kotor box office dikurangi porsi bioskop.[42][43] Harga sewa dari dulu berkisar 30–40% apabila distributornya memiliki jaringan bioskop, kurang lebih sepertiga penghasilan kotor yang dibayarkan ke distributor film.[44] Di pasar modern, harga sewa bisa bervariasi jauh—ada beberapa faktor—tetapi harga sewa film-film dari studio besar rata-rata 43%.[42]
Selera penonton cukup beragam pada abad ke-20, tetapi ada beberapa tren yang berkembang. Pada masa film bisu, film-film bertema perang sangat digemari penonton. The Birth of a Nation (Perang Saudara Amerika Serikat), The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, The Big Parade, dan Wings (tiga-tiganya Perang Dunia I) menjadi film tersukses pada masing-masing tahun rilisnya. Tren film perang ini ditutup oleh All Quiet on the Western Front tahun 1930. Seiring munculnya film bersuara tahun 1927, musikal—genre yang cocok untuk memamerkan teknologi baru ini—menjadi jenis film yang paling populer. 1928 dan 1929 dikuasai oleh film musikal. Genre ini terus bertahan pada 1930-an, tetapi Perang Dunia II kembali memopulerkan film-film bertema perang, dimulai oleh Gone with the Wind (Perang Saudara AS) tahun 1939 dan ditutup oleh The Best Years of Our Lives (Perang Dunia II) tahun 1946. Samson and Delilah (1949) merintis tren drama sejarahRomawi Kuno/Kristen pada 1950-an ketika bioskop dan televisi berlomba-lomba menarik perhatian penonton.[45]Quo Vadis, The Robe, The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, dan Spartacus menjadi film berpenghasilan tertinggi pada masanya saat penayangan perdana. Genre ini perlahan ditinggalkan setelah sejumlah film besar merugi.[46] Kesuksesan White Christmas dan South Pacific tahun 1950-an menjadi awal kebangkitan musikal pada tahun 1960-an. West Side Story, Mary Poppins, My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music, dan Funny Girl menjadi film tersukses dalam dekade itu. Tahun 1970-an, selera penonton beralih ke film-film konsep tinggi. Enam film besutan George Lucas atau Steven Spielberg menjadi film tersukses sepanjang 1980-an. Pada abad ke-21, industri perfilman semakin bergantung kepada seri dan adaptasi. Film-film box office didominasi oleh film yang diangkat dari kekayaan intelektual yang sudah terbit lebih dulu.[47]
Film-film yang disutradarai Steven Spielberg sudah enam kali menyandang gelar "film berpenghasilan tertinggi tahun ini" dan tiga kali memegang gelar "film berpenghasilan tertinggi sepanjang masa".
Steven Spielberg adalah sutradara yang paling banyak terwakili di tabel ini (6 film) dan menempati peringkat pertama tahun 1975, 1981, 1982, 1984, 1989, dan 1993. Cecil B. DeMille (1932, 1947, 1949, 1952, dan 1956) dan William Wyler (1942, 1946, 1959, dan 1968) masing-masing menempati peringkat kedua (5 film) dan ketiga (4 film), sedangkan D. W. Griffith (1915, 1916, dan 1920), George Roy Hill (1966, 1969, dan 1973), James Cameron (1991, 1997, dan 2009), dan Russo Brothers (2016, 2018, dan 2019) masing-masing diwakili oleh 3 film. George Lucas menyutradarai dua film di tabel ini tahun 1977 dan 1999, tetapi juga menjabat sebagai produser dan penulis naskah untuk film tahun 1980, 1981, 1983, 1984, dan 1989. Sutradara berikut ini juga menyutradarai dua film di tabel ini: Frank Lloyd, King Vidor, Frank Capra, Michael Curtiz, Leo McCarey, Alfred Hitchcock, David Lean, Stanley Kubrick, Guy Hamilton, Mike Nichols, William Friedkin, Peter Jackson, Gore Verbinski, dan Michael Bay; Mervyn LeRoy, Ken Annakin, dan Robert Wise masing-masing diwakili oleh satu film solo dan satu film bersama, sedangkan John Ford menyutradarai dua film. Film-film Disney biasanya disutradarai beberapa orang. Sejumlah sutradara pernah terlibat dalam produksi film berpenghasilan tertinggi: Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske, Clyde Geronimi, David Hand, Ben Sharpsteen, Wolfgang Reitherman, dan Bill Roberts menyutradarai sedikitnya dua film dalam tabel ini. Hanya tujuh sutradara yang berturut-turut memegang gelar film berpenghasilan tertinggi: McCarey (1944 dan 1945), Nichols (1966 dan 1967), Spielberg (1981 dan 1982), Jackson (2002 dan 2003) Verbinski (2006 dan 2007), dan Russo Brothers (2018 dan 2019).
Karena ada beberapa jadwal rilis—apalagi ketika filmnya dirilis menjelang akhir tahun—dan pola rilis di seluruh dunia, banyak film yang masa rilisnya merentang selama dua tahun kalender atau lebih. Lantas, penghasilan kotor yang dicantumkan di sini tidak terbatas kepada tahun rilisnya. Penghasilan kotor juga tidak terbatas kepada penayangan perdananya di bioskop. Film lama biasanya dirilis ulang secara rutin sehingga angka di tabel mencakup seluruh masa rilis film sejak penayangan perdana; penghasilan kotor perdana film dicantumkan dalam kurung setelah totalnya (jika diketahui). Karena datanya tidak lengkap, jumlah uang yang dihasilkan dan masa penghasilan beberapa film tidak bisa dipastikan. Namun, tabel ini secara umum merunut film-film yang meraup penghasilan tertinggi setiap tahun. Apabila perkiraannya saling berseberangan, kedua film akan dicantumkan. Apabila sebuah film masuk peringkat pertama karena dirilis ulang, pemegang rekor sebelumnya juga dicantumkan.
film masih diputar di bioskop di seluruh dunia satu pekan sejak 12 Desember 2024.

*Penghasilan kotor Kanada dan Amerika Serikat saja.
RSewa distributor.
INTidak ada sumber waktu itu yang mencantumkan penghasilan 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, tetapi The Numbers memperkirakan penghasilan kotor box office di Amerika Utara mencapai $8.000.000.[51] Namun, angka ini bisa jadi salah diambil dari penghasilan kotor film versi baru tahun 1954 yang juga meraup $8.000.000 sebagai hasil sewa di Amerika Utara.[52]
FHSejumlah sumebr seperti The Numbers menyatakan bahwa Aloma of the South Seas adalah film berpenghasilan tertinggi tahun itu dengan total $3 juta.[53] Akan tetapi, tidak ada sumber waktu itu yang mencantumkan penghasilan Aloma of the South Seas. Jadi, tidak jelas dari mana $3 juta itu. Kalau itu penghasilan kotor sewa, maka film ini bukan saja film berpenghasilan tertinggi tahun itu, tetapi juga salah satu film berpenghasilan tertinggi sepanjang zaman film bisu. Apabila benar demikian, ini tidak lazim karena International Motion Picture Almanac dan Variety tidak mencantumkannya di daftar mereka.
SSBelum jelas apakah angka Sunny Side Up untuk Amerika Utara saja atau global. Sumber lain mencantumkan $2 juta.[54] Artinya, angka yang lebih tinggi ini mungkin merupakan hasil sewa global karena penghitungan hasil internasional waktu itu masih belum mapan.[55]
ONAngka It Happened One Night tidak benar-benar mencerminkan kesuksesannya: film ini didistribusikan dengan cara dipaketkan dengan lebih dari dua puluhan film Columbia lainnya dan total penghasilannya dirata-ratakan; penghasilan kotor sejatinya bisa jadi lebih tinggi.
S7Penghasilan kumulatif global sebesar $418 juta yang diterima Snow White tidak mencakup penghasilan di luar Amerika Utara sejak 1987 sampai seterusnya.
GWPenghasilan Gone with the Wind dari penayangan perdananya tidak bisa dipastikan. Rata-rata catatan masa itu mencantumkan hasil sewa $32 juta di Amerika Utara. Catatan modern mengulang klaim tersebut; namun, angka tersebut bisa jadi angka hasil sewa global. Catatan dagang mengolah data dengan mendapatkannya dari distributor yang ingin memasarkan film sukses atau menyurvei bioskop dan membuat perkiraan. Distributor biasanya melaporkan harga sewa global karena angka yang lebih tinggi membuat film ini seolah sukses, sedangkan perkiraan hanya terbatas pada penghasilan di Amerika Utara; karena itu, sudah biasa apabila hasil sewa global dan Amerika Utara bercampur. Pada awal Perang Dunia II, banyak pasar asing tertutup bagi Hollywood sehingga industri perfilman mulai melaporkan penghasilan box office Amerika Utara saja.[55] Sesuai pendekatan baru ini, harga sewa Gone with the Wind di Amerika Utara direvisi menjadi $21 juta tahun 1947 ($11 juta lebih sedikit daripada angka sebelumnya),[56] dan pada 1953—usai penayangan ulang 1947—Variety melaporkan penghasilan $26 juta.[57] Pada 1956, MGM melaporkan penghasilan kumulatif Amerika Utara sebesar $30.015.000 dan penghasilan luar negeri sebesar $18.964.000 dari tiga film.[58] Hasil sewa global senilai $32 juta dari penayangan perdananya cocok dengan angka yang direvisi dan angka global yang dilaporkan: angka-angka ini menunjukkan bahwa film ini meraup $21 juta di Amerika Utara dan $11 juta di luar negeri lewat penayangan perdana, ditambah $9 juta di Amerika Utara dan $8 juta di luar negeri lewat serangkaian penayangan ulang hingga tahun 1956.
MDMom and Dad umumnya tidak masuk daftar 'film berpenghasilan tinggi' seperti daftarnya Variety karena distribusinya independen. Film ini pada dasarnya tergolong film eksploitasi dan dipasarkan sebagai film pendidikan seks untuk mengakali sensor film. Karena berselisih dengan Motion Picture Production Code, Mom and Dad dilarang beredar besar-besaran dan dibatasi untuk tayang di bioskop independen dan bioskop mobil. Ini adalah film tersukses di genrenya dan masih beredar hingga 1970-an ketika pornografi radikal mulai berkembang. Pada penghujung 1947, film ini meraup $2 juta. Tahun 1949, $8 juta. Tahun 1956, film ini mendapat $22 juta dari hasil sewa dengan penghasilan kotor $80 juta dan seharusnya bisa masuk sepuluh film tersukses pada akhir 1940-an dan awal 1950-an. Penghasilan totalnya diperkirakan mencapai $100 juta.
UNChopra-Gant menyatakan bahwa angka Unconquered adalah penghasilan box office Amerika Utara, tetapi tabel yang mereka gunakan tidak memisahkan penghasilan kotor global dan Amerika Utara. Sumber lain menyatakan bahwa angka Forever Amber ($8 juta) dan Life with Father ($6,5 juta)[59] sebenarnya merupakan penghasilan kotor sewa global. Jadi, angka Unconquered bisa jadi berarti itu.
CIAngka Cinerama mencerminkan penghasilan kotor. Karena Cinerama memiliki bioskop, tidak ada harga sewa untuk film. Artinya, studio menerima 100% penghasilan kotor box office, berbeda dengan rata-rata film lain yang pendapatan distributornya tidak sampai separuh penghasilan kotor. Karena Variety waktu itu memeringkatkan film berdasarkan hasil sewa AS, mereka membuat perkiraan hasil sewa untuk film-film Cinerama supaya bisa dibandingkan dengan film-film lain di tabel mereka. Dalam This Is Cinerama, penghasilan kotor global $50 juta diperbaiki menjadi penghasilan kotor sewa AS $12.5 juta; angka ini 25% dari jumlah yang dilaporkan Cinerama. Rumus Variety tampaknya memangkas separuh penghasilan kotor untuk mengetahui perkiraan AS, lalu memangkasnya lagi separuh untuk menyimulasikan harga sewa. Angka sewa Variety sering diulang, tetapi tidak ada dasarnya—angka ini dikarang-karang untuk keperluan analisis perbandingan.[60] Kelima film Cinerama secara keseluruhan meraup penghasilan box office global sebesar $120 juta.[61]
GSVariety menyatakan hasil sewa global The Greatest Show on Earth sekitar $18,35 juta ($12,8 juta di antaranya berasal dari Amerika Serikat[52]) satu tahun usai dirilis. Namun, Birchard mencantumkan angka di atas $15 juta hingga 1962. Angka Birchard bisa jadi hasil sewa kotor Amerika Utara saja dan mencakup penghasilan dari penayangan ulang tahun 1954 dan 1960.
SWPenghasilan kotor "penayangan perdana" Star Wars tidak mencakup penghasilan dari penayangan edisi khusus tahun 1997. Akan tetapi, angka ini tidak mencakup penghasilan dari penayangan ulang sebelum edisi khusus.
HPBiaya produksi dibagi dengan Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.
Garis waktu film berpenghasilan tertinggi
The Birth of a Nation adalah pelopor berbagai teknik pembuatan film yang masih dipakai hingga sekarang dan merupakan film tersukses sepanjang masa ketika pertama kali dirilis.
Sedikitnya sebelas film memegang rekor 'film berpenghasilan tertinggi' sejak The Birth of a Nation menempati peringkat pertama pada tahun 1915. The Birth of a Nation dan Gone with the Wind masing-masing bertahan sebagai film berpenghasilan tertinggi selama 25 tahun berturut-turut. Rekor ini juga dipegang tiga kali oleh film-film Steven Spielberg dan dua kali oleh film-film James Cameron. Spielberg menjadi sutradara pertama yang memecahkan rekornya sendiri ketika Jurassic Park mengalahkan E.T.. Cameron mengulangi hal yang sama ketika Avatar mengalahkan rekor Titanic. Saat merebut peringkat pertama tahun 2019, Avengers: Endgame menjadi film sekuel pertama yang memegang rekor film berpenghasilan tertinggi. Dengan demikian, berakhir pula dominasi Spielberg/Cameron selama 36 tahun.
Beberapa sumber mengklaim The Big Parade mengalahkan The Birth of a Nation sebagai film berpenghasilan tertinggi, lalu digantikan oleh Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs yang tidak lama kemudian digeser oleh Gone with the Wind.[62] Penghasilan pasti The Birth of a Nation tidak diketahui, tetapi penghasilan globalnya diperkirakan mencapai $5,2 juta tahun 1919 menurut perkiraan modern.[63] Penayangan luar negerinya tertunda akibat Perang Dunia I. Film ini baru dirilis di luar negeri tahun 1920-an; dengan menghitung penayangan perdana beruntun di Amerika Serikat, penghasilan $10 juta yang dilaporkan Variety tahun 1932 cocok dengan perkiraan di atas.[64] Waktu itu, Variety mencantumkan The Birth of a Nation di atas The Big Parade ($6.400.000) menurut hasil sewa distributor dan—jika perkiraannya betul—Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ($8.500.000)[65] tidak meraup penghasilan yang cukup dalam satu pekan pertamanya untuk menyandang gelar ini;[66] tetapi film ini berpotensi menjadi film bersuara (talkie) berpenghasilan tertinggi dan[67] menggeser The Singing Fool ($5.900.000).[68] Meski publik yakin The Birth of a Nation tidak mungkin dikalahkan oleh film bisu,[69] rekornya akan jatuh ke tangan Ben-Hur keluaran 1925 ($9.386.000) jika penghasilan The Birth of a Nation jauh lebih sedikit daripada perkiraan penghasilan kotornya.[70] Selain penghasilan sewa kotor lewat penayangan publik, The Birth of a Nation diputar di sejumlah acara pribadi, klub, dan organisasi yang hasil penjualannya tidak diketahui.[71] Film ini sangat populer di kalangan anggota Ku Klux Klan yang memanfaatkannya sebagai sarana perekrutan.[72]Variety pernah memperkirakan total penghasilan film ini kurang lebih $50 juta.[73] Walaupun klaimnya sudah dicabut, angka ini masih dilaporkan oleh media massa sekalipun tidak ada buktinya.[63] Meski publik mengakui Gone with the Wind sebagai film berpenghasilan tertinggi saat penayangan perdananya—benar dalam konteks penayangan publik—total penghasilannya mungkin tidak melampaui The Birth of a Nation sampai beberapa tahun berikutnya; film ini masih dinyatakan sebagai film berpenghasilan tertinggi sampai 1960-an.[71]Gone with the Wind sendiri mungkin sempat dikalahkan oleh The Ten Commandments (1956) yang terakhir tayang pada akhir 1960 dengan pendapatan sewa global $58–60 juta[74][75] berbeda dengan Gone with the Wind yang mendapatkan $59 juta;[76] apabila benar menduduki posisi pertama, The Ten Commandments tidak bertahan lama karena Gone with the Wind dirilis lagi tahun berikutnya dan menambah penghasilannya menjadi $67 juta. Tergantung keakuratan perkiraannya, Ben-Hur versi baru tahun 1959 mungkin juga menyabet rekor ini dari Gone with the Wind: pada akhir 1961, film ini meraup $47 juta di seluruh dunia,[77] dan pada 1963, film ini berada di posisi kedua setelah Gone with the Wind dengan selisih $2 juta dan penghasilan internasional $65 juta,[78] pada akhirnya meraup $66 juta dari penayangan perdananya.[79]
Film pornografi Deep Throat (1972) kabarnya meraup $600 juta, angka yang diduga dilebih-lebihkan oleh mafia dalam skema pencucian uang.
Film lain yang diklaim sebagai film berpenghasilan tertinggi adalah film pornografiDeep Throat (1972). Pada tahun 1984, Linda Lovelace bersaksi di hadapan Subkomite Kehakiman Senat Amerika Serikat Bidang Hukum Di Bawah Umur bahwa film ini meraup $600 juta;[80] angka ini menuai banyak perdebatan karena apabila benar, penghasilan film ini melampaui Star Wars sehingga Deep Throat menjadi film berpenghasilan tertinggi sampai akhir 1970-an. Pendapat utama yang membantah angka tersebut adalah film ini tidak dirilis secara luas sehingga penghasilan kotor sebesar itu tidak mungkin terwujud.[81] Angka pastinya tidak diketahui, tetapi kesaksian dalam persidangan federal tahun 1976—empat tahun setelah film dirilis—menunjukkan film ini menghasilkan lebih dari $25 juta.[82]Roger Ebert mengira film ini mungkin menghasilkan $600 juta di atas kertas karena mafia memegang kepemilikan bioskop dewasa waktu itu dan akan mencuci uang obat-obatan terlarang dan prostitusi di bioskop. Mafia mungkin saja melebih-lebihkan pendapatan box office film ini.[83]
The Birth of a Nation, Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, Jaws, Star Wars, E.T., dan Avatar menaikkan rekor penghasilan kotornya lewat penayangan ulang. Penghasilan kotor dari penayangan perdananya dihitung di tabel ini ditambah total penghasilan dari penayangan ulang hingga rekornya tergeser; karena itu, total penghasilan The Birth of a Nation mencakup penayangan ulang akhir 1970-an dan awal 1980-an, kecuali edisi khusus tahun 1997; total penghasilan E.T. mencakup penayangan ulang tahun 1985, kecuali tahun 2002; total penghasilan Avatar mencakup edisi khusus tahun 2010 yang mewakili seluruh penghasilannya hingga rekornya tergeser. Gone with the Wind tercantum dua kali di tabel ini: total untuk tahun 1940 mencakup penayangan tahun 1939–1942 (keliling/besar-besaran/bertarif murah)[84] ditambah semua penghasilannya hingga penayangan ulang tahun 1961 sebelum rekornya direbut oleh The Sound of Music tahun 1966; angka tahun 1971—setelah merebut kembali rekornya—meliputi penghasilan dari penayangan ulang tahun 1967 dan 1971, tetapi tidak meliputi penayangan ulang setelahnya. The Godfather dirilis lagi tahun 1973 setelah memenangi penghargaan di Academy Awards ke-45, sedangkan Jaws dirilis lagi tahun 1976. Penghasilan kotor keduanya mungkin mencakup penghasilan dari penayangan ulang. The Sound of Music, The Godfather, Jaws, Jurassic Park, dan Titanic menambah penghasilannya masing-masing lewat penayangan tahun 1973, 1997, 1979, 2013, dan 2012, tetapi tidak disertakan dalam angka total karena rekornya sudah tergeser sebelum dirilis ulang.
Termasuk penghasilan dari penayangan ulang. Apabila sebuah film menambah penghasilan kotornya lewat penayangan ulang sambil memegang rekor, tahun penghasilan kotor tertingginya dimiringkan.
Seri James Bond adalah seri film pertama dengan penghasilan kotor lebih dari $1 miliar.
Sebelum 2000, hanya tujuh seri film yang berpenghasilan kotor di atas $1 miliar di box office: James Bond,[96]Star Wars,[97]Indiana Jones,[98]Rocky,[99][100][101]Batman,[102]Jurassic Park,[103] dan Star Trek.[104] Sejak pergantian abad ke-21, jumlahnya naik menjadi lebih dari 50 (tidak termasuk film top tunggal seperti Avatar, Titanic, dan Frozen).[105] Ini dipicu oleh inflasi dan pertumbuhan pasar serta penerapan model berseri oleh Hollywood: film-film yang temanya sudah dikenal duluan oleh publik, misalnya diangkat dari karya sastra ternama atau tokoh yang sudah lengkap kisahnya. Metodologinya berlandaskan pandangan bahwa film-film yang berkaitan dengan sesuatu yang familier di mata publik akan lebih mudah dipasarkan. Karena itu, film-film seperti ini diberi julukan "pre-sold" (film yang sudah terjual duluan) oleh kalangan industri perfilman.[106]
Seri film sedikitnya terdiri atas dua karya yang berasal dari satu kekayaan intelektual (produk). Biasanya, karya tersebut sejalan dengan produknya, tetapi tidak selalu harus seperti itu. Konsep yang masih bertahan dalam model seri ini adalah crossover (percampuran lintas cerita). Crossover bisa diartikan "cerita yang mempertemukan tokoh atau konsep dari dua teks/seri teks atau lebih".[107]Crossover memungkinkan suatu produk dimanfaatkan oleh lebih dari satu seri film. Misalnya, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice tidak semata-mata bagian dari seri Batman dan Superman, tetapi juga bagian dari DC Extended Universe, sebuah jagat bersama (shared universe). Jagat bersama adalah jenis crossover yang memungkinkan beberapa karakter dari berbagai macam karya fiksi menghuni dunia fiksi yang sama.[108] Jagat bersama yang paling sukses dalam perfilman adalah Marvel Cinematic Universe, percampuran beberapa produk pahlawan super milik Marvel Comics. Marvel Cinematic Universe juga merupakan seri film berpenghasilan tertinggi dengan total lebih dari $22 miliar di box office.
Film-film Star Wars adalah seri berpenghasilan tertinggi yang diangkat dari satu kekayaan intelektual/produk dengan total penghasilan lebih dari $9 miliar di box office (tetapi film-film James Bond produksi Eon meraup lebih dari $18 miliar apabila disesuaikan dengan harga saat ini[110]). Apabila penghasilan tambahan dari pernak-pernik juga dihitung, maka Star Wars adalah kekayaan intelektual paling benilai;[111]Star Wars memegang rekor dunia Guinness sebagai "seri pernak-pernik film tersukses" dengan nilai £19,51 miliar pada tahun 2012 (sekitar $30 miliar).[112][113] Marvel Cinematic Universe adalah seri dengan jumlah film berpenghasilan kotor >$1 miliar terbanyak (8 film). Empat film Avengers merangkai satu-satunya seri yang setiap filmnya berpenghasilan kotor lebih dari $1 miliar. Avengers juga merupakan satu-satunya seri yang penghasilan rata-ratanya lebih dari $1 miliar per film. Namun, penghasilan rata-rata seri Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic Park, dan Finding Nemo, film-film Harry Potter, dan adaptasi Middle-earth oleh Peter Jackson mencapai lebih dari $1 miliar sesuai inflasi.[106][114]
sedikitnya satu film dalam seri ini masih diputar satu pekan sejak 12 Desember 2024.

ISBN978-0-8093-2082-0. Distributor rentals: It is also important to know and recognize the difference between the distributor's gross receipts and the gross rentals. The term "rentals" refers to the aggregate amount of the film distributor's share of monies paid at theatre box offices computed on the basis of negotiated agreements between the distributor and the exhibitor. Note that gross receipts refers to amounts actually received and from all markets and media, whereas gross rentals refers to amounts earned from theatrical exhibition only, regardless of whether received by the distributor. Thus, gross receipts is the much broader term and includes distributor rentals. The issue of film rentals (i.e., what percentage of a film's box office gross comes back to the distributor) is of key importance...More current numbers suggest that distributor rentals for the major studio/distributor released films average in the neighborhood of 43% of box office gross. Again, however, such an average is based on widely divergent distributor rental ratios on individual films.

Moviegoing became a special event for most people, creating the phenomenon of the big picture.
^Hall & Neale 2010, hlm. 179. "Later epics proved far more disastrous for the backers. Samuel Bronston's The Fall of the Roman Empire, filmed in Spain, cost $17,816,876 and grossed only $1.9 million in America. George Stevens's long-gestating life of Christ, The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965), which had been in planning since 1954 and in production since 1962, earned domestic rentals of $6,962,715 on a $21,481,745 negative cost, the largest amount yet spent on a production made entirely within the United States. The Bible—in the Beginning... (1966) was financed by the Italian producer Dino De Laurentiis from private investors and Swiss banks. He then sold distribution rights outside Italy jointly to Fox and Seven Arts for $15 million (70 percent of which came from Fox), thereby recouping the bulk of his $18 million investment. Although The Bible returned a respectable world rental of $25.3 million, Fox was still left with a net loss of just over $1.5 million. It was the last biblical epic to be released by any major Hollywood studio for nearly twenty years."

^ abHall & Neale 2010, hlm. 6–7. "For similar reasons of accountability, Variety has typically used figures for domestic (U.S. and Canadian) rather than worldwide revenue. This became its standard policy in 1940, when the advent of war in Europe persuaded the American film industry (temporarily, as it turned out) that it should be wholly reliant on the home market for profitability. Where specific rentals data are reported in Variety before this (which tended to be only sporadically) they were often for worldwide rather domestic performance. This was also the case with other trade sources, such as Quigley's annual Motion Picture Almanac, which published its own all-time hits lists from the early 1930s onward. The subsequent confusion of domestic and worldwide figures, and of rental and box-office figures, has plagued many published accounts of Hollywood history (sometimes including those in Variety itself), and we have attempted to be diligant in clarifying the differences between them."

Various accounts have cited $15 to $18 million profits during the first few years of release, while in a letter to a potential investor in the proposed sound version, Aitken noted that a $15 to $18 million box-office gross was a 'conservative estimate'. For years Variety has listed The Birth of a Nation's total rental at $50 million. (This reflects the total amount paid to the distributor, not box-office gross.) This 'trade legend' has finally been acknowledged by Variety as a 'whopper myth', and the amount has been revised to $5 million. That figure seems far more feasible, as reports of earnings in the Griffith collection list gross receipts for 1915–1919 at slightly more than $5.2 million (including foreign distribution) and total earnings after deducting general office expenses, but not royalties, at about $2 million.

^Barrios, Richard (1995). A Song in the Dark: The Birth of the Musical Film. Oxford University Press. hlm. 49. ISBN9780195088113. Since it's rarely seen today, The Singing Fool is frequently confused with The Jazz Singer; although besides Jolson and a pervasively maudlin air the two have little in common. In the earlier film Jolson was inordinately attached to his mother and sang "Mammy"; here the fixation was on his young son, and "Sonny Boy" became an enormous hit. So did the film, which amassed a stunning world-wide gross of $5.9 million...Some sources give it as the highest gross of any film in its initial release prior to Gone with the Wind. This is probably overstating it—MGM's records show that Ben-Hur and The Big Parade grossed more, and no one knows just how much The Birth of a Nation brought in. Still, by the standards of the time it's an amazing amount.
^Everson, William K. (1998) [First published 1978]. American silent film. Da Capo Press. hlm. 374. ISBN978-0-306-80876-0. Putting The Birth of a Nation in fifth place is open to question, since it is generally conceded to be the top-grossing film of all time. However, it has always been difficult to obtain reliable box-office figures for this film, and it may have been even more difficult in the mid-1930's. After listing it until the mid-1970's as the top-grosser, though finding it impossible to quote exact figures, Variety, the trade journal, suddenly repudiated the claim but without giving specific details or reasons. On the basis of the number of paid admissions, and continuous exhibition, its number one position seems justified.
^Hall & Neale 2010, hlm. 163. "MGM's silent Ben-Hur, which opened at the end of 1925, had out-grossed all the other pictures released by the company in 1926 combined.

"Produced by Sam Goldwyn at a cost of $1 million, the picture was an adaptation of a smash musical comedy built around Eddie Cantor...A personality-centered musical, Whoopee! made little attempt to integrate the comedy routines, songs, and story. Nonetheless, Cantor's feature-film debut grossed over $2.6 million worldwide and started a popular series that included Palmy Days (1931), The Kid from Spain (1932), and Roman Scandals (1933)."
Balio, Tino (1976). United Artists: The Company Built by the Stars. University of Wisconsin Press. hlm. 110. Hughes did not have the "Midas touch" the trade press so often attributed to him. Variety, for example, reported that Hell's Angels cost $3.2 million to make, and by July, 1931, eight months after its release, the production cost had nearly been paid off. Keats claimed the picture cost $4 million to make and that it earned twice that much within twenty years. The production cost estimate is probably correct. Hughes worked on the picture for over two years, shooting it first as a silent and then as a talkie. Lewis Milestone said that in between Hughes experimented with shooting it in color as well. But Variety's earnings report must be the fabrication of a delirious publicity agent, and Keats' the working of a myth maker. During the seven years it was in United Artists distribution, Hell's Angels grossed $1.6 million in the domestic market, of which Hughes' share was $1.2 million. Whatever the foreign gross was, it seems unlikely that it was great enough to earn a profit for the picture.

It was the most popular film of the year (from any studio) in both North America and Britain, and its foreign earnings were three times higher than those of any other MGM film released in the 1941–42 season. The production cost ($1,344,000) was one of the highest of the season, indicating the studio never thought of the film as a potential loss-maker. When the film earned a worldwide gross of $8,878,000, MGM had the highest profit ($4,831,000) in its history. Random Harvest nearly matched the success of Mrs Miniver with worldwide earnings of $8,147,000 yielding the second-highest profit in MGM's history ($4,384,000).

Leading the pack of postwar sex hygiene films was Mom and Dad (1944), which would become not only the most successful sex hygiene film in history but the biggest pre-1960 exploitation film of any kind. At the end of 1947, the Los Angeles Times reported that Mom and Dad had grossed $2 million. By 1949 Time had estimated that Mom and Dad had taken in $8 million from twenty million moviegoers. And publicity issuing from Mom and Dad's production company indicated that by the end of 1956 it had grossed over $80 million worldwide.

The Longest Day: "Darryl's most ambitious independent production was The Longest Day (1962), a three-hour reconstruction of D-Day filmed in black-and-white CinemaScope at a cost of $8 million.

Cleopatra: "With top tickets set at an all-time high of $5.50,Cleopatra had amassed as much as $20 million in such guarantees from exhibitors even before its premiere.

(These figures excluded the more than $5 million spent on the production's abortive British shoot in 1960–61, prior to its relocation to Italy.) By 1966 worldwide rentals had reached $38,042,000 including $23.5 million from the United States."
^Hall & Neale 2010, hlm. 164. "West cost $14,483,000; although it earned $35 million worldwide in just under three years, with ultimate domestic rentals totaling $20,932,883, high distribution costs severely limited its profitability."

(1966)—filmed in widescreen and black-and-white, largely set in domestic interiors and with a cast of only four principal actors—amounted to $7,613,000, in part because stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton received up-front fees of $1 million and $750,000 respectively, against 10 percent of the gross apiece. (Their participation was presumably added to the budget)."
