Animation Box Office 2007: Questions & Answers

The chart's numbers in short: the #1 film, the total, the billion-dollar hits and the US & Canada share, answered from the same 47 films as the chart.

What is the highest-grossing animation movie in 2007?

Shrek the Third (2007) leads with $808.3M worldwide, $322.7M of it in the US & Canada. Next come Ratatouille (2007) at $623.7M and The Simpsons Movie (2007) at $536.4M.

How much did animation movies released in 2007 earn?

47 animation films released in 2007 report a worldwide gross, $3.3B in all, or $71M per film on average. 2006 releases took $3.1B.

How many animation movies released in 2007 made $1 billion?

None. 8 films crossed $100 million, led by Shrek the Third (2007) with $808.3M.

How much of the 2007 Animation box office came from the US and Canada?

$1.3B of the $3.3B total, or 40%, was earned in the US & Canada (the domestic market); the rest came from other countries. 33 films of the 47 report no domestic figure.

How is the 2007 animation box office chart ranked and where do the numbers come from?

Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and grouped by their release date in 2007. The figures are the reported box office grosses in our database. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films or a blockbuster total on an obscure title, is left out rather than shown as a fact.

How often is the 2007 animation box office chart updated?

Grosses change while films are in theaters and whenever a new figure is reported; this chart reads the latest numbers in our database, so an older film can still move after a re-release.
