The data for the early years here is far more robust than I’ve ever seen elsewhere. Where is it sourced from? Does such data also exist even earlier, or is 1926 when it begins?
I appreciate any info, thanks for bringing us this very impressive resource!
Hey Shaun…..the information comes from lots of different sources. MGM ledgers, RKO ledgers, Warner Brothers Ledgers, Variety Yearly Reports, Variety Weekly Reports, Books, Articles. Some sources are better than others. Been collecting this information for over 12 years now…including some cross country trips to see the ledgers with my own eyes. Glad you like our page. But…just so you know…these are our estimates….though we fell they are good estimates. Anybody that says they are the actual numbers is someone not looking at the big picture.
That is amazing. So this website is not only a very cool resource for movie fans, but also a monument to years of legwork and original research!
If you ever feel inclined to share what you’ve compiled from 1925 on back, it would instantly eclipse the scant info available elsewhere. I have a goal to watch some top grossers from each year of movie history to chart the evolution of pop cinema culture, but that idea never seemed really possible until seeing your data.
Of course, I bet it would be crushing to see how many of those top grossers from early on don’t even exist anymore. Wish I had a time machine!
Is there any elusive ledger/archive that you hope to see someday, but didn’t get to access yet? I bet those studio ones are closely guarded.
relocated comment to proper forum.
