1957 Top Grossing Movies

This movie page looks at The Top Grossing Movies of 1957.   Currently when you type in the search words….”Top Grossing Movies of 1957″ you do not get much information.   So in an effort to get more information out there…we have decided to unlock our 1957 movie database vault and share the information we have collected over the years.

To make this list a movie had to be made in 1957 (as listed on IMDB.com).  Obviously many movies made in 1956 earned box office dollars in 1957.  On the other side many movies made in 1957 made money in 1958 and later.  This page will looks at 155 Top Grossing Movies of 1957.  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 1957 movies…..but since our website is dynamic, ever time we add a 1957 movie….it will automatically be added to this page.

  2. Just curious, how are double feature releases handled like Columbia pictures “The Long Haul will DELIGHT you! The Hard Man will EXCITE you!”? Does the double feature disrupt the box office results data and block both of them from being tracked?

    1. Hi
      In my take I read in Variety that they split the take home.
      For example If the box office take was $4000.
      They each get S2000 a piece.
      Hope that helps.
      Just for fun.

  5. Hi Mr. Cogerson,

    here is reply…
    Hey Mike…..great research….I will try and get these added in before the next big total website update. Thanks again for tracking this stuff down. I should send you a copy of Warner Brothers ledgers…as I sure there are some on those pages that did not make the 1957 movie page. Good information…….

    You can send me any copy you want, I only asked about the others to send if you wanted.
    You don’t have to send me anything if you want, that is just fine. I will continue to do it my way.

    Thx for all your help so far.

    Mike
