FAQ
Spanish Box Office 2018: 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 132 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing Spanish-language movie in 2018?
Mirage (2018) leads with $17.3M worldwide. Next come Superlopez (2018) at $14.3M and Ya Veremos (2018) at $14.1M.
How much did Spanish-language movies released in 2018 earn?
132 Spanish-language films released in 2018 report a worldwide gross, $161.1M in all, or $1.2M per film on average. 2017 releases took $232.5M.
How many Spanish-language movies released in 2018 made $1 billion?
None. The biggest, Mirage (2018), earned $17.3M.
How is the 2018 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 2018. 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 2018 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.
