Mongolian Box Office All Time: 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 Mongolian-language movie of all time?

The Legend of Gobi (2018) leads with $48.5M worldwide. Next come The Story of the Weeping Camel (2004) at $9.3M and The Cave of the Yellow Dog (2006) at $3.4M.

How much have Mongolian-language movies earned at the box office?

13 Mongolian-language films in our database report a worldwide gross, $62.4M in all, or $4.8M per film on average.

How many Mongolian-language movies have made $1 billion?

None. The biggest, The Legend of Gobi (2018), earned $48.5M.

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

$2.1M of the $62.4M total, or 3%, was earned in the US & Canada (the domestic market); the rest came from other countries. 8 films of the 13 report no domestic figure.

How is the all-time Mongolian 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. 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 all-time Mongolian 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.
