Global box office totals for films released in 2001 (US dollars):
1) Harry Potter - 957 million
2) Lord of the Rings - 824 million
3) Monsters Inc - 490 million
4) Shrek - 480 million
5) Pearl Harbor - 450 million
Anyone who doubts that the "christmas" season has become as important as the "summer" season for big box office hits should note that the top 3 were winter releases in the US.
Of course, the Christmas release season now starts the week after halloween, and the Summer season now starts in early May. Pretty soon, the Christmas season will start before the Summer season ends, and vice versa...
