Q: How is the April 2011 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 April 2011. 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.

Q: How often is the April 2011 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.

Fast Five (2011) is the highest-grossing movie released in April 2011, with $626.1M worldwide, ahead of Rio (2011) at $483.9M and Hop (2011) at $184.4M. 106 films released in April 2011 report a worldwide gross, $2.4B in all, 40% of it from the US & Canada. 6 films crossed $100 million; none reached $1 billion.
