Box Office Insights
Lifetime grosses, budgets, and ROI for movies tracked on The Ratist. Filter, rank, and drill into franchises, studios, and genres.
Box-office figures are sourced from TMDB and reflect cumulative lifetime grosses, not daily or weekly tallies. Coverage is strongest for theatrically-released studio films and weakest for indie, foreign, and pre-1980 titles. ROI rankings exclude films with budgets under $100K to suppress micro-budget outliers.
