MUMBAI: The Warner Bros. Pictures Group broke the all-time industry worldwide box-office record with a gross intake of $4.814 billion in 2010 surpassing the prior record of $4.010 billion also held by Warner Bros. in 2009.

The Studio had five films gross over $100 million domestically in 2010 - Inception, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1, Clash of the Titans, Valentine‘s Day and Due Date. 

Setting new benchmarks for both the international and global box-office grosses in 2010 and retaining the domestic box-office number one ranking, the studio now holds the industry record in all three categories.

Additionally, Warner Bros. surpassed its own worldwide gross from the previous year by $800 million to be on the number one position in worldwide market share for the second consecutive year and for the sixth time in the last 10 years. Warner Bros. Pictures‘ domestic gross is estimated at $1.884 billion, making it number one in domestic market share for 2010.

"Our tentpole strategy combined with a remarkably diverse overall slate has once again proved enormously profitable at the box office," said Dan Fellman, President, Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

This is the third year in a row the Studio has held that crown and is the only studio to exceed the $1 billion threshold domestically for 10 consecutive years. Warner Bros. has been ranked either one or two domestically for seven of the last 10 years.
