The Trade-Paper Record — 1919 to 1969

There was no national box-office reporting before the 1980s. What existed was Variety, printing what individual theatres took in individual cities, week by week. This is 216,273 of those weeks, read off the original scanned pages — one theatre, one week, one figure at a time, across 7,357 film engagements. Showing page 3 of 8 (top 1,000 of 7,357).
These are not domestic grosses.Each figure is what one theatre took in one week, in the cities the trade press happened to cover. They do not add up to what a film earned nationally, and we do not pretend otherwise — calibrating a national scale factor against films with known published totals gave ratios from 11.5× to 1720×, so no such factor exists. Rank by curiosity, not by record.

Source: Variety and other US trade papers, from Media History Digital Library scans on archive.org. Every figure carries a verbatim quote from the page it came off. A title reported again after a gap of more than three years is listed as a separate engagement, because a remake and a re-release are not the same run. Known gap: the 1950s is thin — The 1950s holds 50 of 8,952 available source blocks — extraction was throttled (HTTP 503), not a data problem. See STR-1277.
