Be sure to sort by "List Order".

This list is based on a weighted score of domestic box office earnings 25%, IMDB's Metascore 15%, and Cinemascore of 60%.

Domestic box office earnings are used because this list is for the U.S. market.

Cinemascore is used, as opposed to IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes, because their results are from actual movie-goers. However, when a Cinemascore was not available, the average score of IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes was used.

Box office earnings are only weighted 25% because of these factors:
1) Earnings are dependent on how many theaters a movie is shown in.
2) The movie's rating (R, PG-13, etc.) affects ticket sales in general.
3) Ticket sales can be affected by how much marketing is spent on promoting the film.
4) Earnings don't reflect profitability (A film that earned $300M but only made a profit of $50M may not be considered as successful
