1951 Movies

Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire and Humphrey Bogart in African Queen

This movie page looks at 1951 Top Box Office Movies.  Finding box office information for movies made in the 1940s and 1950s is extremely difficult.   For somebody looking for box office information on 1951 it is very very frustrating.  Over the years, we have researched and collected information on over 36,000 movies.  So we figured we would show all the 1951 movies in our database.

To make this list a movie had to be made in 1951.  Obviously many movies made in 1950 earned box office dollars in 1951.  On the other side many movies made in 1951 made money in 1952 and later.  This page will looks at 199 1951 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 1951 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.
