FAQ
Spanish 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 141 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing Spanish-language movie in 2019?

How much did Spanish-language movies released in 2019 earn?
141 Spanish-language films released in 2019 report a worldwide gross, $346.2M in all, or $2.5M per film on average. 2018 releases took $161.1M.
How many Spanish-language movies released in 2019 made $1 billion?
None. The biggest, Exit (2019), earned $69.5M.
How is the 2019 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 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 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.
