Crime Box Office 2001: 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 78 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing crime movie in 2001?
Ocean's Eleven (2001) leads with $450.7M worldwide, $183.4M of it in the US & Canada. Next come Hannibal (2001) at $351.7M and Rush Hour 2 (2001) at $347.3M.
How much did crime movies released in 2001 earn?
78 crime films released in 2001 report a worldwide gross, $3.3B in all, or $42M per film on average. 2000 releases took $2B.
How many crime movies released in 2001 made $1 billion?
None. 11 films crossed $100 million, led by Ocean's Eleven (2001) with $450.7M.
How is the 2001 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, and grouped by their release date in 2001. 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 2001 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.
