Note: Amounts shown include domestic box office earned within the specified year. For example, if a movie is released in December 2024, some of its box office collection will take place within the weeks in December and the remainders of its box office collections will take place in January 2025 and following months. In this case, a portion of that movie's box office will be counted within 2024 totals and the rest in 2025.
