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 1962 releases that primarily earned revenue in 1963 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 6, 1965 "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) Cleopatra- $15,700,000 (final rentals of $21,200,000)
2) The Longest Day (1962)- $12,750,000 (final rentals of $14,200,000)
3) Irma La Douce- $9,250,000
4) Lawrence of Arabia (1962)- $9,000,000 (final rentals of $15,000,000)
5) How the West was Won- $8,000,000 (final rentals of $20,000,000)
6) Mutiny on the Bounty (1962)- $7,700,000
7) Son of Flubber- $6,900,000 (final rentals of $7,100,000)
8) To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)- $6,700,000 (final rentals of $7,200,000)
9) Bye, Bye Birdie- $5,600,000 (final rentals of $6,000,000)
10) Come Blow Your Horn- $5,450,000 (final rentals of $6,000,000)
11) Gypsy (1962)- $5,400,000 (final rentals of $5,700,000)
12) The Castaways (1962)- $4,700,000 (final rentals of $4,900,000)
13) The Birds- $4,600,000 (final rentals of $5,000,000)
       The Great Escape- $4,600,000 (final rentals of $4,965,000)
