Music Box Office 2019: 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 89 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing music movie in 2019?
Rocketman (2019) leads with $195.3M worldwide, $96.4M of it in the US & Canada. Next come Yesterday (2019) at $154.6M and Judy (2019) at $46M.
How much did music movies released in 2019 earn?
89 music films released in 2019 report a worldwide gross, $543.5M in all, or $6.1M per film on average. 2018 releases took $2B.
How many music movies released in 2019 made $1 billion?
None. 2 films crossed $100 million, led by Rocketman (2019) with $195.3M.
How is the 2019 music 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 2019. 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 2019 music 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.
