Dutch Box Office 2020: 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 18 films as the chart.

What is the highest-grossing Dutch-language movie in 2020?

The Marriage Escape (2020) leads with $7.8M worldwide. Next come Bon Bini: Judeska in da House (2020) at $3.8M and Men at Work: Miami (2020) at $2.9M.

How many Dutch-language movies released in 2020 made $1 billion?

None. The biggest, The Marriage Escape (2020), earned $7.8M.

How is the 2020 Dutch 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 2020. 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 2020 Dutch 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.
