How many English-language movies released in July 2014 made $1 billion?

How much of the July 2014 English box office came from the US and Canada?

$666.5M of the $1.7B total, or 39%, was earned in the US & Canada (the domestic market); the rest came from other countries. 20 films of the 50 report no domestic figure.

How is the July 2014 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 July 2014. 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 July 2014 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.
