Q: How is the December 2007 English 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 December 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, and so are films whose stored language is most likely wrong.

Q: How often is the December 2007 English 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.

I Am Legend (2007) is the highest-grossing English-language movie released in December 2007, with $585.4M worldwide, ahead of National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) at $459.2M and The Golden Compass (2007) at $372.2M. 34 English-language films released in December 2007 report a worldwide gross, $3.2B in all, 44% of it from the US & Canada. 12 films crossed $100 million; none reached $1 billion.
