North America (US and Canada) Domestic Movie Chart for 1975

← 19741976 →

Note: We only have detailed box office data from 1977 onwards. For earlier years the total box office is sometimes assigned to the release year of a movie, while the box office amount could have been earned during two or more years due to extended runs in theaters and re-releases.

Inflation-adjusted figures are based on ticket sale estimates.

See Top 1975 Movies at the Domestic Box Office for the total domestic box office for the top 100 movies released in 1975, and Movie Index 1975 for an overview of all movies released in 1975.

Our Theatrical Market pages are based on the Domestic Theatrical Market performance only. The Domestic Market is defined as the North American movie territory (consisting of the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Guam).

The yearly amounts on our Theatrical Market pages are based on box office years. Each box office year starts on the first Monday of the year, so the previous year ends on the Sunday before the first Monday. For example, the "2017 box office year" started on January 2, 2017 so the "2016 box office year" ended on Sunday, January 1, 2017.
