This movie page looks at The Top Grossing Movies of 1953. Currently when you type in the search words….”Top Grossing Movies of 1953″ you do not get much information. Wikipedia provides 10 movies. The Numbers.com provides 10 movies. Stats-a-mania offers up 7 movies. You have to go to the 26th search result to find the next place that lists box office results….UMR’s (that’s us) Marilyn Monroe page which offers up her movies. So in an effort to get more information out there…we have decided to unlock our 1953 movie database vault and share the information we have collected over the years.
To make this list a movie had to be made in 1953 (as listed on IMDB.com). Obviously many movies made in 1952 earned box office dollars in 1953. On the other side many movies made in 1953 made money in 1954 and later (it Tokyo Story almost 20 years to reach North America). This page will looks at 173 Top Grossing Movies of 1953. The movies are listed in a massive table that shows who starred in the movie, had much the movie grossed when it was released and how that gross means in today’s money.
Obviously this is not all of the 1953 movies…..but since our website is dynamic, ever time we add a 1953 movie….it will automatically be added to this page.

If you do a comment….please ignore the email address and website section.
you might debate me here but
“144 Ana-ta-han (1953)”
should be
“144 Anatahan (1953)”
or
“144 The Saga of Anatahan (1953)”
Hey Sidney J. Fixed and a thank you. I went with just Anatahan versus The Saga of Anatahan.
“140 Scandal at Sourie (1953)”
should be:
“140 Scandal at Scourie (1953)”
Hey Sidney J. Fixed and a thank you.
“119 A Blueprint For A Murder (1953)”
should be
“119 A Blueprint For Murder (1953)”
Hey Sidney J. Fixed and a thank you.
The Long, Long Trailer is listed in the worldwide grosses, but it came out in 1954, and sure enough the domestic numbers are on that page.
Hey Bobby…not sure how I did that….but the error has been fixed. Thanks for the catch….fixed on both pages.
Favorite films of 1953: From Here to Eternity, Pickup at South Street, Roman Holiday, Shane and best of all: Stalag 17. I heard that William Holden believed Burt Lancaster was more deserving of the Oscar than he for his performance in From Here to Eternity. As a Lancaster fan, I can honestly say Holden deserved it.
