FAQ
Spanish Box Office 2013: 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 63 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing Spanish-language movie in 2013?
Instructions Not Included (2013) leads with $100.5M worldwide, $44.5M of it in the US & Canada. Next come I'm So Excited (2013) at $21.3M and Three Many Weddings (2013) at $9M.
How much did Spanish-language movies released in 2013 earn?
63 Spanish-language films released in 2013 report a worldwide gross, $189.4M in all, or $3M per film on average. 2012 releases took $151.4M.
How many Spanish-language movies released in 2013 made $1 billion?
None. 1 film crossed $100 million, led by Instructions Not Included (2013) with $100.5M.
How is the 2013 Spanish 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 2013. 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 2013 Spanish 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.
