The following table lists known estimated box office ticket sales for various high-grossing non-English films that have sold over 90 million tickets worldwide. This list varies from revenue-based rankings due to the huge difference in the price of admission tickets from place to place as well as from one moment in time to another. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.Ī number of non-English markets have traditionally given box office figures in ticket sales (such as France, South Korea and the Soviet Union), rather than gross revenue, thus only ticket sales numbers are available for a number of older non-English films in various markets. This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. Highest-grossing films by box office revenue Indian Bollywood films had a large overseas audience in the Soviet Union between the 1950s and 1980s, and were significantly more popular than Hollywood films there. The former Soviet Union (before it dissolved in 1991) was a similarly large box office market, with relatively lower ticket prices than North America due to lower living costs. The world's largest markets in terms of box office admissions are China, India and the United States. As of 2017, the average cinema ticket price was $9 in the United States, compared to CN¥35 ($5.10) in China and ₹134.38 ( $2.06) in India. Up until the 1990s, US and UK ticket prices were significantly greater than Chinese, Indian and Soviet ticket prices. A number of Chinese, Indian and Soviet films sold more than 100 million tickets at the box office, but at relatively low ticket prices compared to Hollywood films, thus limiting the amount of gross revenue generated. Īnother major factor is the difference in cinema box office ticket prices around the world, with developing countries and newly industrialized countries having lower ticket prices than developed countries, due to lower currency value, less average income and lower living costs. The Chinese language, especially the standard variant, has over twice as many native speakers as English, but much fewer foreign-language speakers. It is thus understood by 1.5 billion people, which is almost 20% of the world population. One factor behind the relative financial success of English-language films is that the English language is widely considered to be a universal language -it is the first language of 400 million people, the second language of another 400 million, and a foreign language of an additional 700 million. As a result, nearly all of these films are English-language films as the United States is primarily an English-speaking country. The primary source of the highest-grossing films are the major film studios based in and around Hollywood, California.
Among the top 100 highest-grossing films, 97 of them are in English, with the other three being the Chinese films The Battle at Lake Changjin, Wolf Warrior 2 and Hi, Mom. In terms of gross revenue, English-language films are vastly over-represented among the highest-grossing films of all time.
