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 2026 news box office chart updated?
2026 is still running: new releases join the chart once they report a gross, and films in theaters climb as their weekly figures come in, so the ranking moves until the period is over.
