English Box Office Week 40 of 2018: 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 24 films as the chart.

How much did English-language movies released in week 40 of 2018 (Sep 30–Oct 6) earn?

How many English-language movies released in week 40 of 2018 (Sep 30–Oct 6) made $1 billion?
None. 2 films crossed $100 million, led by Venom (2018) with $856.1M.
How is the week 40, 2018 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 40 of 2018 (Sep 30–Oct 6). 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 40, 2018 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.
