WORLDWIDE STUDIO SCORECARD. Here is an updated look at the 2019 film slates by studio.
BOX OFFICE. Looking at North American box office, 2019 is still -6% below last year’s comparable span and still -1% below this point the past four years ($7.205 billion). Over the same period, Hollywood films have grossed $19.1 billion worldwide when we add overseas box office for those films. That’s still basically even with the comparable worldwide box office last year and still -1% below 2017.
A reminder: we define the start of each year as the first Monday in January (except if that is New Year’s Day), and our year ends on the Sunday after New Year’s Day the following calendar year. The numbers in this chart contain box office grosses from each year’s films as well as grosses from prior year films that carried over into that year.
