Top grossing films
Please note that following the tradition of the English language film industry, these are the top grossing films that were first released in the United States and Canada in 2006; because they may have made most of their income in a later year, they may not be the top-grossing films for calendar year. The top ten of 2006 as of January 11, 2007 (Worldwide, U.S. & Canada and International); December 17, 2006 (UK) and December 17, 2006 (Australia) are as follows:
Canada and U.S. and International box office gross figures are listed in U.S. dollars, British results in pounds sterling and Australian results in Australian dollars.
