WORLDWIDE STUDIO SCORECARD. The release of Godzilla has pushed Warner Brothers into second place, just behind Sony (each with around $1.3 billion worldwide to date in 2014). 20th Century Fox ($1.1 billion to date worldwide) and Disney ($1.0 billion worldwide to date) are fairly close behind. But Godzilla will really kick in overseas starting with next week’s update, when it should easily pass Sony.
Scroll down for domestic and overseas grosses for each film individually so far in 2014.
YEAR TO DATE BOX OFFICE. Looking at North American box office, 2014 is now running 5% ahead of last year and still 1% above the average for this point the past four years ($3.266 billion). Over the same period, Hollywood films have grossed over $8.8 billion worldwide when we add overseas box office.
A reminder: we define the start of each year as the first Monday after New Year’s Day, and our year ends on the Sunday after New Year’s Day the following calendar year. (The most recent week’s numbers are based on weekend estimates, which are usually at worst a couple of percentage points off from the final weekend tallies.)
