The Top Box-Office Hits of 1962 (According to Variety- lists U.S. and Canadian rental fees up to the end of the calendar year. Late 1961 releases that primarily earned revenue in 1962 are included. Source: Film Facts, 1980, edited by Cobbett Steinberg. Includes actual and estimated domestic rentals to theaters in U.S. and Canada, not box-office takes, which would be higher. If the final first-run rental take for films gaining $4,000,000 or more in rentals varies from the total originally listed, I'm showing that figure after the original total. Final first-run rentals data comes from Variety's January 9, 1963 "All-Time Top Film Grosses" list (only films taking $4,000,000 or more in rentals were mentioned on the "All-Time" list; unfortunately, I have no data for films with a final gross under $4,000,000 that may have ended up with a higher take than shown below). Occasionally a film will end up on the "All-Time" list with a lower rental box-office take than when the film originally appeared on the yearly list of top box-office films. This is due to the estimated rentals, which were sometimes revised to a lower amount for the All-Time list).
1) Spartacus (1960)- $13,500,000 (final rentals of $14,000,000)
2) West Side Story (1961)- $11,000,000 (final rentals of $19,000,000)
3) Lover Come Back (1961)- $8,500,000 (final rentals of $11,500,000)
That Touch of Mink- $8,500,000
5) El Cid (1961)- $8,000,000 (final rentals of $11,500,000)
The Music Man- $8,000,000
7) King of Kings (1961)- $7,500,000 (final rentals of $8,000,000)
8) Hatari!- $6,000,000 (final rentals of $7,000,000)
9) Flower Drum Song (1961)- $5,000,000
The Interns- $5,000,000

The Wilde Oscar:

The Merino Award:
In 1960 to Maureen O'Hara; in 1961 to Rita Moreno; this year to Maureen O'Sullivan
The Diamond-in-the-Rough Award:
Rosalind Russell for making Gypsy palatable despite Natalie Wood, Karl Malden, etc.

Otto Preminger for Lolita (note: Stanley Kubrick directed the film, so a W.W. Corrigan to the Havard Lampoon for this one)

The Great Ceremonial Hot Dog:
(for the worst scenes of the past cinema season)
The naming of the fairy tale characters in The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm and the Polish army hurtling over the cliff in Taras Bulba
The Roscoe Award:
To Natalie Wood, for her unquestionably atrocious performance in Gypsy, which she did her utmost to ruin
