FAQ
Crime Box Office All Time: 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 4,286 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing crime movie of all time?
Zootopia 2 (2025) leads with $1.9B worldwide, $428.1M of it in the US & Canada. Next come Furious 7 (2015) at $1.5B and The Fate of the Furious (2017) at $1.2B.
How much have crime movies earned at the box office?
4,286 crime films in our database report a worldwide gross, $109.3B in all, or $25.5M per film on average.
How many crime movies have made $1 billion?
8 films crossed $1 billion worldwide: Zootopia 2 (2025), Furious 7 (2015), The Fate of the Furious (2017), The Dark Knight Rises (2012) and Skyfall (2012) among others. 283 crossed $100 million.
How is the all-time crime 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. 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 all-time crime 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.
