Draft:List of most-profitable films
a list of the most profitable films of all time (raw profit and return on investment) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Films achieve profitability when they generate income surpassing their total production budget. While total income may encompass theatrical exhibition, home video, television broadcast rights, and merchandising, the primary metric for calculating a film's total income is theatrical box-office earnings. This is largely due to the accessibility and widespread publicity of box-office data, in contrast to the more limited availability of sales figures for home video and broadcast rights. It is worth mentioning that Advertising / Marketing costs are often excluded in production budget estimations.
