FAQ
Mystery Box Office 2005: 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 67 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing mystery movie in 2005?
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) leads with $897.5M worldwide, $290.5M of it in the US & Canada. Next come Flightplan (2005) at $223.4M and The Ring Two (2005) at $164M.
How much did mystery movies released in 2005 earn?
67 mystery films released in 2005 report a worldwide gross, $2.7B in all, or $40.6M per film on average. 2004 releases took $3.3B.
How many mystery movies released in 2005 made $1 billion?
None. 8 films crossed $100 million, led by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) with $897.5M.
How is the 2005 mystery 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 2005. 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 2005 mystery 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.
