WORLDWIDE STUDIO SCORECARD. Year to date, Warner Brothers is closing in on $800 million worldwide, while Sony and Universal remain a second tier with about $500 million worldwide. Fox and Paramount are now in the third tier (with a little over $400 million worldwide each), thanks to Grand Budapest Hotel and Noah. Lionsgate/Summit and Disney form the fourth tier (just under $300 million worldwide each).

YEAR TO DATE BOX OFFICE. Looking at North American box office, 2014 is now running 7% ahead of last year but only even with the average for this point the past four years ($2.033 billion). Over the same period, Hollywood films have grossed almost $5.2 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.)
