All-Time Box Office Chart

The charts below show the top movies at the domestic box office of all time. There are two different ways to sort: by gross and by number of tickets sold.

The dollar amounts are for domestic gross only. (U.S. and Canada) Many high-ranking films have been released multiple times over the past century, and the dollar amounts reflect that. Dollar amounts for many earlier films are estimated due to missing or inexact data. This is most often true when rentals were reported and gross had to be estimated.

The number of tickets sold are estimated. Many high-ranking films have been released multiple times over the past century, and the ticket amounts reflect that. Several films, such as Avatar and The Birth of a Nation, sold tickets at premium prices. Their ticket sale numbers may be lower than would be expected from looking at their total gross.
