WORLDWIDE STUDIO SCORECARD.

Scroll down for domestic and overseas grosses for each film individually so far in 2014.

Studio YTD 2014 as of 2014 Nov 30

YEAR TO DATE BOX OFFICE. Looking at North American box office, 2014 is now running -6% behind last year (worse than the -5% pace the last several weeks) and -3% below the average for this point the past four years ($8.953 billion).  Over the same period, Hollywood films have grossed $22.4 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.)
