FAQ
Bulgarian Box Office All Time: 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 76 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing Bulgarian-language movie of all time?
Gundi: Legend of Love (2024) leads with $7M worldwide. Next come Mission London (2010) at $1.9M and Convinced (2021) at $1.6M.
How much have Bulgarian-language movies earned at the box office?
76 Bulgarian-language films in our database report a worldwide gross, $22.7M in all, or $298.3K per film on average.
How many Bulgarian-language movies have made $1 billion?
None. The biggest, Gundi: Legend of Love (2024), earned $7M.
How is the all-time Bulgarian 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. 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, and so are films whose stored language is most likely wrong.
How often is the all-time Bulgarian 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.
