FAQ
Thai Box Office 2022: 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 Thai-language movie in 2022?
Daeng Phra Khanong (2022) leads with $1.5M worldwide. Next come Love Destiny: The Movie (2022) at $1.1M and Haunted Universities 2nd Semester (2022) at $248.7K.

None. The biggest, Daeng Phra Khanong (2022), earned $1.5M.
How is the 2022 Thai 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 2022. 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 2022 Thai 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.
