Films generate income from several revenue streams, including theatrical exhibition, home video, television broadcast rights, and merchandising. However, theatrical box office earnings are the primary metric for trade publications in assessing the success of a film, mostly because of the availability of the data compared to sales figures for home video and broadcast rights, but also because of historical practice.电影从几个方面获得收入，包括影院放映、家庭录像、转播权和衍生品销售。然而，影院票房收入是评估一部电影成功与否的主要指标，这主要是因为与家庭录像和转播权的销售数字相比，不仅因为数据更容易拿到，也是大家惯常的做法。Included on the list are charts of the top box-office earners (ranked by both the nominal and real value of their revenue), a chart of high-grossing films by calendar year, a timeline showing the transition of the highest-grossing film record, and a chart of the highest-grossing film franchises and series. All charts are ranked by international theatrical box-office performance where possible, excluding income derived from home video, broadcasting rights, and merchandise.榜单上包括票房收入排行榜（按收入的名义值和实际值排列）、历年高票房电影排行榜、最高票房电影纪录过渡时间表以及最高票房电影专营权和系列排行榜。所有排行榜尽可能按国际影院票房收入排名，不包括来自家庭录像、转播权和衍生品销售的收入。
