This is a list of the first 100 films that have grossed over $100,000,000 at the North American (USA/Canada) box office in their theatrical runs. All gross amounts are in US dollars and only include domestic movie ticket sales and not video rentals or sales, overseas movie ticket sales, television rights and other revenues. These totals may include theatrical re-releases of films in Theater. These dollar amounts are actual sales totals and have not been adjusted for inflation. Since some of these films are still in general release these totals are subject to change. Film titles in red represent films whose total box office gross has changed from last week.
