Crime Box Office 2022: 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 137 films as the chart.

The Batman (2022) leads with $772.3M worldwide, $369.3M of it in the US & Canada. Next come Lost in the Stars (2022) at $487.6M and The Bad Guys (2022) at $250.4M.

How many crime movies released in 2022 made $1 billion?
None. 5 films crossed $100 million, led by The Batman (2022) with $772.3M.
How is the 2022 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 2022. 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 2022 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.
