Note: A previous version of this graphic contained an incorrect ranking. This was corrected on Oct. 29, 2023. Please note that the source list is updated daily, and that rankings may have changed. Lastly, amounts are inflation-adjusted to the date of release. Successful films continue earning some box office revenue as time goes on, so there are some slight limitations to this approach.
