FAQ
Sci-Fi Box Office 2007: 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 37 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing sci-fi movie in 2007?
Transformers (2007) leads with $709.7M worldwide, $319.2M of it in the US & Canada. Next come I Am Legend (2007) at $585.4M and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) at $301.9M.
How much did sci-fi movies released in 2007 earn?
37 sci-fi films released in 2007 report a worldwide gross, $2.5B in all, or $68M per film on average. 2006 releases took $1.6B.
How many sci-fi movies released in 2007 made $1 billion?
None. 6 films crossed $100 million, led by Transformers (2007) with $709.7M.
How is the 2007 sci-fi 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 2007. 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 2007 sci-fi 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.
