Two Prosecutors (2026) leads 2026 with $1.1M worldwide, 63% of the $1.7M that its 3 releases report. Films of this year are still earning, so the order can change.
2026 chart How much have Russian-language movies earned at the box office?
645 Russian-language films report a worldwide gross, $2.3B in all, or $3.6M per film on average. $18.8M (<1%) came from the US & Canada.

2024 chart How are Russian box office numbers counted?
Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and grouped by their release date. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films, is left out rather than shown as a fact, and so are films whose stored language is most likely wrong.
