Language Breakdown for 2017
← Languages Overview
The table below lists a language breakdown of information about movies released in 2017.
The Share is a percentage based on total worldwide box office of the movies using the specified language relative to the combined
worldwide box office of all movies in the listed year. Please note that movies that use different languages count for the share of
each language, and the language information in our database is incomplete. These factors will typically cause the share percentages in
a specific year not to add up to 100%. Click on the language name for a list of all the films using that language.
Click on the movie name to see information on the individual film.
Note: Since we are still actively researching languages, we consider this chart to be in beta mode.
While we make every effort to collect all available data, there are inevitably omissions and errors. Please help us by sending corrections to corrections@the-numbers.com.
