The Top Box-Office Hits of 1957 (According to Variety Weekly, January 8, 1958. Includes actual and estimated domestic rentals to theaters in U.S. and Canada, not box-office takes, which would be higher. If the final first-run rental take for films gaining $4,000,000 or more in rentals varies from the total originally listed in 1958, I'm showing that figure after the 1958 total. Final first-run rentals data comes from Variety's January 10, 1962 "All-Time Top Film Grosses" list (only films taking $4,000,000 or more in rentals were mentioned on the "All-Time" list; unfortunately, I have no data for films with a final gross under $4,000,000 that may have ended up with a higher take than shown below). Ocassionally a film will end up on the "All-Time" list with a lower rental box-office take than when the film originally appeared on the yearly list of top box-office films. This is due to the estimated rentals, which were sometimes revised to a lower amount for the All-Time list).
1) The Ten Commandments (1956) $18,500,000 (final first-run rentals of $34,200,000)
2) Around the World in 80 Days (1956) $16,200,000
3) Giant (1956) $12,000,000
4) Pal Joey $6,700,000 (final first-run rentals of $4,700,000)
5) Seven Wonders of the World (1956) $6,500,000 (final first-run rentals of $9,300,000)

All-Time Top Film Grosses (Source: Variety, January 9th, 1957)
Includes actual domestic rentals to theaters in U.S. and Canada, not box-office takes, which would be higher. From the Variety post:
"When a feature film grosses $4,000,000 or over, in domestic (United States and Canadian) rentals, that's blockbusting. Variety's annual revised lineup of such tall-stakes releases is presented herewith, updated to include the 1956 starters and, as regards previous years' entries, revised where (a) newly-added reissue money requires the raising of earlier estimates or (b) over-estimates in past demand downward adjustment.
Some smash 1956 boxoffice performers are excluded for the reason they're not in circulation widely enough at this time to gauge the ultimate total grosses. In this group are "80 Days Around the World," (sic) "Ten Commandments," "Giant," "Seven Wonders of the World," "Oklahoma" and, perhaps, others.
Still omitted from the record is D. W. Griffith's 1915 "Birth of a Nation," official records of which were not kept. Here are the standings (authority: this publication)."
