Family Box Office 2010: 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 81 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing family movie in 2010?

How much did family movies released in 2010 earn?
81 family films released in 2010 report a worldwide gross, $6.7B in all, or $82.3M per film on average. 2009 releases took $6.9B.
How many family movies released in 2010 made $1 billion?
2 films crossed $1 billion worldwide: Toy Story 3 (2010) and Alice in Wonderland (2010). 12 crossed $100 million.
How is the 2010 family 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 2010. 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 2010 family 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.
