    Hi, Bruce.
    According to THE JOHN WAYNE FILMOGRAPHY, by Fred Landesman, THE COMANCHEROS
    (1961) made $3,500,000 in Domestic Rentals. He also reported that THE COMANCHEROS was the fourth highest grossing film in Great Britain in 1962. Also the January 8, 1964 issue of Variety
    has a Revision on page 71. It also reads THE COMANCHEROS made $3,500,000 in Domestic
    Rentals.
