Why is every new movie considered to be the #1 movie in america?
In: 32
They’re usually referring to that week’s box office. The highest grossing film of the week is the #1 box office. We split the box office into domestic and global, so if it’s #1 in all countries they could say “#1 movie in the world.” If it stays the #1 spot for a handful of weeks (as many blockbusters will) then they could say “#1 movie in the world/ America for X weeks!”
