German Box Office 2015: 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 56 films as the chart.

How much did German-language movies released in 2015 earn?

How much of the 2015 German box office came from the US and Canada?

$3.8M of the $197.3M total, or 2%, was earned in the US & Canada (the domestic market); the rest came from other countries. 48 films of the 56 report no domestic figure.

How is the 2015 German 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 2015. 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 2015 German 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.
