FAQ
Comedy 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 447 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing comedy movie in 2007?
Shrek the Third (2007) leads with $808.3M worldwide, $322.7M of it in the US & Canada. Next come Transformers (2007) at $709.7M and Ratatouille (2007) at $623.7M.

How many comedy movies released in 2007 made $1 billion?
None. 25 films crossed $100 million, led by Shrek the Third (2007) with $808.3M.
How is the 2007 comedy 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 comedy 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.
