Top Grossing Movies of 1954

This movie page looks at The Top Grossing Movies of 1954.   Currently when you type in the search words….”Top Grossing Movies of 1954″ you do not get much information.  Wikipedia provides 10 movies.  The Numbers.com provides 10 movies.  Stats-a-mania offers up 7 movies.   UMR.com is the 10th search result as it offers up our Jerry Lewis UMR Page.  So in an effort to get more information out there…we have decided to unlock our 1954 movie database vault and share the information we have collected over the years.

To make this list a movie had to be made in 1954 (as listed on IMDB.com).  Obviously many movies made in 1953 earned box office dollars in 19543.  On the other side many movies made in 1954 made money in 1955 and later.  This page will looks at 148 Top Grossing Movies of 1954.  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 1954 movies…..but since our website is dynamic, ever time we add a 1953 movie….it will automatically be added to this page.

  1. Any idea where “Drive a Crooked Road” fits? Was it made for TV? Did it have a box office release and data? Seems like there is a theatrical poster for it but I can’t find it anywhere here.

    1. Hey Sidney. Pretty sure Drive A Crooked Road opened in theaters (March 10th 1954)….I have no idea how much it made at the box office. I do guess it did not make much at all. Sorry I do not have more information.
