FAQ
Norwegian Box Office 2019: 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 Norwegian-language movie in 2019?
Forgotten Christmas (2019) leads with $5M worldwide. Next come Captain Sabertooth and the Magical Diamond (2019) at $3.4M and Amundsen (2019) at $3.3M.

How many Norwegian-language movies released in 2019 made $1 billion?
None. The biggest, Forgotten Christmas (2019), earned $5M.
How is the 2019 Norwegian 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 2019. 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 2019 Norwegian 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.
