EVENT TIMELINE




TOP GROSSING FILMS

Please note that following the tradition of the English language Film Industry , these are the top grossing films that were first released in the United States and Canada in 2005 ; because they may have made most of their income in a later year, they may not be the top-grossing films for calendar year. The top ten of 2005 as of April 2 , 2006 (U.S. and Canada), March 26 , 2006 (UK) and April 2 , 2006 (Australia) are as follows:



So far worldwide, eight films released in 2005 grossed more than $400 million, reaching International Blockbuster Motion Picture status.

By the end of June, despite the releases of several long-anticipated big-budget films, the US box-office was entering the 20th week of a slump in which film attendance was lower than the comparable week in 2004 . This was blamed by most analysts on the rise of ticket prices, gasoline prices and Internet piracy.
