Highest grossing movie of 1922

[edit]
Resolved

On the article "1922 in film" the highest grossing movie of 1922 is listed as "The Ten Commandments" with a source cited. Is there a reason why in this article the highest grossing movie is "The Covered Wagon" for that year? 78.11.222.121 (talk) 07:01, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you mean 1923 in film. The sources used here state that The Covered Wagon grossed $5 million and The Ten Commandments $4.2 million. I think the other list is conflating domestic and worldwide rentals. According to this list of film rentals, The Covered Wagon was the top film domestically with $3.5 million, beating the $2.5 million grossed by The Ten Commandments, and it seems both films took a further $1.5 million overseas.

Okay, now i know. The article "1923 in film" lists only revenue in the U.S. and this article lists revenue worldwide. I think this topic can be closed. Thanks. 78.11.222.121 (talk) 11:54, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
