The following table lists known estimated box office ticket sales for various high-grossing films that have sold at least 100 million tickets worldwide.
Note that some of the data are incomplete due to a lack of available admissions data from a number of box office territories. Therefore, it is not an exhaustive list of all the highest-grossing films by ticket sales, so no rankings are given.
