The Top Box-Office Hits of 1958 (According to Variety- lists U.S. and Canadian rental fees up to the end of the calendar year. Late 1957 releases that primarily earned revenue in 1958 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) The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) $18,500,000 (Final rentals of $15,000,000)
2) Peyton Place (1957) $12,000,000 (final rentals of $11,000,000)
3) Sayonara (1957) $10,500,000
4) No Time for Sergeants $7,200,000
5) The Vikings $7,000,000 (final rentals of $6,100,000)
6) Search for Paradise (1957) $6,500,000
7) South Pacific $6,400,000 (final rentals of $16,300,000)
8) Cat on a Hot Tin Roof $6,100,000 (final rentals of $7,900,000)
9) Raintree County (1957) $6,000,000
10) Old Yeller (1957) $5,900,000 (final rentals of $6,250,000)
11) The Big Country $5,000,000 (final rentals of $4,000,000)
A Farewell to Arms (1957) $5,000,000
The Young Lions $5,000,000 (final rentals of $4,500,000)
14) Don't Go Near the Water $4,500,000
15) Witness for the Prosecution (1957) $3,750,000
16) Indiscreet $3,600,000
17) God's Little Acre $3,500,000
Houseboat $3,500,000
The Long, Hot Summer $3,500,000
The Sad Sack (1957) $3,500,000
Note: Gigi is not on the 1958 or 1959 list, but shows on the 1963 All-Time list with final rentals of $6,750,000.
