FAQ
English Box Office Week 20 of 2012: 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 13 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing English-language movie in week 20 of 2012 (May 13–19)?
Battleship (2012) leads with $303M worldwide, $65.4M of it in the US & Canada. Next come The Dictator (2012) at $179.4M and What to Expect When You're Expecting (2012) at $84.4M.
How much did English-language movies released in week 20 of 2012 (May 13–19) earn?
13 English-language films released in week 20 of 2012 (May 13–19) report a worldwide gross, $570.3M in all, or $43.9M per film on average. Week 19, 2012 releases took $253.3M.
How many English-language movies released in week 20 of 2012 (May 13–19) made $1 billion?
None. 2 films crossed $100 million, led by Battleship (2012) with $303M.
How is the week 20, 2012 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 week 20 of 2012 (May 13–19). 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 week 20, 2012 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.
