A 19-year #1 box office reign — broken in the final months. Real US data, 59 book-to-film franchises.
Every book-to-film adaptation with real, verifiable US box office data — 59 franchises and standalone titles, from Jurassic Park's 1993 debut to March 2026 — racing month by month for the #1 spot.
Jurassic Park leads the 1990s. Lord of the Rings briefly takes over in 2003. Then Harry Potter holds #1 for nineteen straight years — until June 2024, when Jurassic Park reclaims the lead and finishes ahead, $2.55B to $2.40B.
These are real US/Canada domestic box office figures from The Numbers, tracked month by month across each title's actual monthly box office progression — not estimates, not worldwide totals. Only the current top 12 entities are ever visible on screen at once, entering and exiting as their real cumulative gross overtakes or falls behind the rest — classic bar-chart-race mechanics, not a fixed small set.
Comment which franchise you think is #1 at the end before you watch — the answer surprises most people, and it isn't Harry Potter.
