Fox's films gross $3.6 billion

January 04, 2007 Under the banner of Fox Filmed Entertainment, the studio announced a worldwide boxoffice tally of $3,559,521,971 in 2006, which it said was "the biggest worldwide boxoffice gross for any slate of pictures in the history of the motion picture business." In order to establish what it considers the new world record, Fox added its international haul of $2 billion; domestic returns from 20th Century Fox, which amounted to $1.39 billion; and domestic returns from specialty film division Fox Searchlight, which reached $163 million. In the past, however, when other studios have produced worldwide tallies, they have not included domestic returns from such specialty film divisions as the Walt Disney Co.'s Miramax Films, Warner's Warner Independent Pictures or Sony Pictures Entertainment's Sony Classics.
