Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and grouped by their release date in week 17 of 2007 (Apr 22–28). 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 week 17, 2007 drama 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.
