How the Box Office Numbers were Calculated
Sadly in 1960….BoxOfficeMojo was not around to keep track of box office earnings. Back then earnings seem to be a secret and a secret that needed to be safely locked up. When studios did report box office stats they used “box office rentals”. Box office rentals were the amount of money the studio got back from the theaters. It is NOT the box office gross. Every year the rental to box office gross percentage changed…in 1960 this meant you had to triple the rentals to get the gross….so the multiplier used in this page was 3.0.

Hello Bruce.
At number 132 you have listed “SCARS OF DRACULA” which came out in 1970. Did you
mean “THE BRIDES OF DRACULA” which came out in 1960.
