WORLDWIDE STUDIO SCORECARD. Very little change in the studio rankings of worldwide box office for the year to date. No studio changed its ranking this week, and the top four studios grossed a modest $60 to $101 million each over the past week.
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 1% behind last year but now 1% above the average for this point the past four years ($4.416 billion). Over the same period, Hollywood films have grossed just almost $11.7 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.)
