This movie page looks at The Top Grossing Movies of 1955. Currently when you type in the search words….”Top Grossing Movies of 1955″ you do not get much information. So in an effort to get more information out there…we have decided to unlock our 1955 movie database vault and share the information we have collected over the years.
To make this list a movie had to be made in 1955 (as listed on IMDB.com). Obviously many movies made in 1954 earned box office dollars in 1955. On the other side many movies made in 1955 made money in 1956 and later. This page will looks at 154 Top Grossing Movies of 1955. 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 1955 movies…..but since our website is dynamic, ever time we add a 1955 movie….it will automatically be added to this page.

Hey Sidney…just added Smiles of a Summer Night to the database….coming in with a 74.56 UMR Score….it will be ranked 87th on the next website update. Thanks for the suggestion.
FYI
It had 885,617 admissions in France by 1956 data.
I will be doing 1955 B.O. data in a couple of months or so for domestic data.
Hope this helps
Hey Mike…thanks for the info on how well Smiles of a Summer Night did in France…good information as always.
Any room in the 1955 house for “Smiles of a Summer Night”?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048641
Quite the hit in Sweden and UK
(Nominated for 3 BAFTA awards)
Hey Sidney. I will see if I can find any box office information on Smiles of a Summer Night. If I find that information I will add the movie to the table. Thanks for the suggestion.
