1947 Top Grossing Movies

This movie page looks at 1947 Top Box Office Movies.  Finding box office information for movies made in the 1930s and 1940s is extremely difficult.   For somebody looking for box office information on 1947 it is very very frustrating.  Over the years, we have researched and collected information on over 33,000 movies.  So we figured we would show all the 1947 movies in our database.

To make this list a movie had to be made in 1947.  Obviously many movies made in 1946 earned box office dollars in 1947.  On the other side many movies made in 1947 made money in 1948 and later.  This page will looks at 152 1947 Top Box Office Movies.  The movies are listed in a massive table that lets you rank the movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information.

The following massive table only includes the movies made in 1947 that are in our database.  Since we are constantly adding new movies to our database….this page will quickly become obsolete.  We will try and update this page on a regular basis.

  1. Hiya! Thanks for putting together such an extensive database!
    Someone else noted this, and I wondered if there was an update.
    This year doesn’t have actual gross box office revenue information listed unlike the years before and after it. Do you possibly have that information? If not, could you explain how you arrived at the adjusted gross figure, so that I could calculate the actual?

    Thank again! Lots of great stuff here!

  3. Back in 1982 I bought a book in a Los Angeles movie memorabilia store the Motion Picture Production Encyclopedia. Actually I bought 2, one for 1949 and 1 for 1950. They listed all the credits for films for the 5 previous years leading up to it so 1949 would be 1944 – 1948. A stat was used for 1947 and 1948 where they listed how long the film shoot was . You could tell the cheapies from the big budget films this way. Here are all the American films from that year where they listed the length of the shoot. Not every film was listed but most were. They did it for 1949 also but nowhere near as many films. For 1950 they dropped it. Anyway here are all the 47’s by film, studio, star (by the book) and length of shoot.

    MON (Monogram) and AA (Allied Artists) are the same company. Monogram started pumping out a few bigger films per year now and released them as Allied Artists. The cheap stuff was still Monogram..

    PRC (Producers Releasing) and EL (Eagle-Lion) are also the same company. During 1947 J. Arthur Rank (big British film producer) merged with Universal so they could release his pics here in America. For 16 years it was Universal International. J. Arthur still wasn’t satisfied and wanted more so he bought PRC and released more British films under that label. He inherited some PRC cheapies which spilled into 1948. They also started producing bigger budget American films too. EL merged with United Artists in 1951 and the EL management took over and well the rest is history. 30 years later, dissatisfied at United Artists (see Heaven’s Gate), the same management left and started Orion films which won 4 best pictures in about 20 years of existence.

    1. Hey Sidney… I changed it to Riff-Raff…though IMDb does use Riffraff…..but I looked up some posters…and they use Riff-Raff. Good catch…fixed and thanks.
