Top Worldwide Box Office Films by Year Presented by the Numbers.com

With assistance from Wikipedia on the earlier years, this list reflects the top-grossing movie released in each calendar year (based on worldwide box office). Differences between this list and that of other sites may be due to movie release schedule timing and the way each site tabulates the numbers—especially in the case of films released towards the end of the year—and different release patterns across the world, many films can do business in two or more calendar years; therefore the grosses documented here may not be confined to just the year of release. For example, Die Hard with a Vengeance and Toy Story were neck and neck in 1995, but The Numbers gave the year to Die Hard. So not always an exact science, but in most cases, there is agreement across sites on each year's worldwide box office champs, especially in the more recent years.
