Tips for a Better Movie Higher or Lower Streak
Worldwide box office can be surprising, even when you know the films.
Think globally
A movie can earn less in North America but do very well in other markets. Consider its worldwide audience before you guess.
Don't confuse fame with ticket sales
A beloved classic isn't always a bigger box office hit than a newer blockbuster, even when the classic is more famous today.
Use the last reveal
The movie you just guessed becomes your next reference. Remember its worldwide gross to make the following choice easier.
HOW THE MOVIE NUMBERS WORK
How Are Worldwide Box Office Totals Counted?
We compare reported worldwide theatrical box office revenue in US dollars, not the number of movie tickets sold. Ticket prices vary by country and year, so earning more money doesn't always mean reaching more moviegoers. Box office gross also isn't a film's profit: production costs, marketing and streaming revenue aren't part of this comparison.
Figures come from Wikidata's box office records, using totals reported for worldwide release in US dollars. You can follow the links beside each movie above to explore its record and sources.
We show box office totals rounded to the nearest $1 million. If two movies show the same amount, you'll get a different pair. These totals are not adjusted for inflation, so older movies and newer movies are compared using their reported dollar amounts.
Figures retrieved: 2026-11-06. Wikidata entries are updated at different times, and some movie totals may not include later re-releases or corrections. These are not live box office figures. You can check Wikidata's box office information for further details.

Movie Higher or Lower FAQ
What is Movie Higher or Lower?
It's a free movie trivia game where you compare two films and guess whether the second one earned more or less at the worldwide box office.
Are you comparing worldwide or US box office?
Worldwide box office. The figures are reported in US dollars and include ticket sales from different countries, not only the US and Canada.

The figures come from Wikidata and were retrieved on 2026-11-06. They may not include later re-releases or corrections. Amounts are rounded to the nearest million dollars.

Not necessarily. Box office gross measures ticket revenue, not the number of tickets. Prices vary by country and year, and these dollar totals aren't adjusted for inflation.

No. Box office gross is revenue from movie ticket sales. It is not the film's profit, production budget or income from streaming and home video.

This game includes movies released between 1980 and 2023. More recent releases are not part of the current selection.
What if two movies show the same box office total?
You won't have to guess a tie. If two movies have the same total after rounding, you'll get a different pair.
