With the kind permission of our friends at movie statistics website www.the-numbers.com, we present another piece of thought-provoking data: This time their Top 50 Supervising Sound Editors by worldwide box office. Enjoy!
Background notes from the compilers:
- Since we are still actively researching technical roles, we consider this chart to be in beta mode. The table includes data for movies in The Numbers database. While we make every effort to collect all available data, there are inevitably omissions and errors.
- The figures represent the total amount of worldwide revenue generated by all the movies a person has contributed to as a Re-recording Mixer over their careers. This chart is not adjusted for inflation.
So if you’re on the list – and you’re feeling robbed, then be sure to let the folks know at corrections@the-numbers.com. They want to hear from you.
