Movie Index by Year
The table below shows the biggest grossing movie that was first released in a particular year. Click on the movie's name to go to its page. Or click on the year at the beginning of each row for a list of all the movies that opened that year.
The last two columns count all the movies that were released in a particular year, and their combined gross.
Note that this is not quite the same thing as the total gross for that year, because some movies released in previous years will still be showing.
It is a pretty good guide, however.
