Domestic Box Office

Extensive Domestic and Worldwide Box Office Data Powered by Box
Office Mojo is Now Featured on the IMDbPro Site for Members

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–IMDbPro (www.imdbpro.com),
the essential resource for entertainment industry professionals, today
revealed the movies that topped the U.S. box office in January 2019 and
the upcoming February theatrical releases that audiences are most
anticipating. This definitive data is derived from Box Office Mojo, a
service of IMDbPro and the leading online source of box-office data, and
the IMDbPro MOVIEmeter rankings, which are based on the actual page
views of the more than 250 million monthly unique visitors to IMDb.

“With the new year fully underway, the January box office saw audiences
continue to turn out for Aquaman ($120 million domestic gross in
January and the highest-grossing DC Comics adaptation worldwide) while
new releases such as M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass (on its way to a
$100+ million domestic performance on just a $20 million budget) and Dragon
Ball Super: Broly
(already ranking as the third highest-grossing
anime title domestically of all-time) delivered strong box office
performances,” said Brad Brevet, editor of the IMDbPro box office
reporting service, Box Office Mojo. “Green Book took advantage of
its five Oscar nominations, landing in the following weekend’s top 10
and has since topped $55 million at the box office and counting. Looking
ahead, February’s new releases include two major animated titles, The
Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
, which opens Friday and is enjoying
strong early reviews, and Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s How to
Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
on February 22.”

“The IMDbPro list of most anticipated movies opening in February shows
that audiences have a lot to look forward to this month — and that
industry professionals should keep a close eye on box office activity
and the signals it sends,” said Matt Kumin, Head of IMDbPro. “IMDbPro
empowers members to stay ahead of the latest news and trends with
detailed box office grosses and a full suite of tools on trending
projects and industry professionals, including exclusive STARmeter and
MOVIEmeter rankings and more than 25,000 in-development film and TV
titles not available on IMDb.”
