Fantasy Box Office 2010: Questions & Answers

3 films crossed $1 billion worldwide: Toy Story 3 (2010), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I (2010) and Alice in Wonderland (2010). 13 crossed $100 million.
How is the 2010 fantasy 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 fantasy 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.
