Muppet All-Time Box Office Rankings

[frogboy4]

For what it's worth I found the listings for theatrical Muppet/Henson film domestic (US) box office grosses. Of course they are not adjusted for inflation or ticket prices. Some kind of surprised me. I still believe a movie's worth comes from the individual viewer, but this is interesting. Who'd have known that Elmo can't get the movie crowds?

Jim Henson / Muppets: Box Office​

1. THE MUPPET MOVIE 1979 = $65,200,000
2. THE DARK CRYSTAL 1982 = $40,577,001
3. MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND 1996 = $34,327,391
4. THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER 1981 = $31,206,251

9. LABYRINTH 1986 = $12,729,917
10.THE ADVENTURES OF ELMO IN GROUCHLAND 1999 = $11,683,047

I don't tend to lump these in with the rest:

GOOD BOY! 2003 = $37,667,746
THE WITCHES 1990 = $10,360,553
BUDDY 1997 = $10,113,400
MIRRORMASK 2005 = $866,999

I just hope the next one it the biggest and not necessarily the best.

MIRRORMASK 2005 = $866,999

Good Boy did better than Follow that Bird and Muppets take manhatten? To quote Alluicious Pig, "That's not right!"

Oh, by the way. The Muppet Movie was the fourth largest grosser for 1979! It was barely beat out for the third slot by some little Coppola film called Apocalypse Now.
