Events
Top grossing films
Following the tradition of the English language film industry, these are the top grossing films that were first released in the United States and Canada in 1999; because they may have made most of their income in a later year, they may not be the top-grossing films for calendar year. The top ten films of 1999 as of January 26, 2006 (U.S. and Canada), January 26, 2006 (UK) and January 26, 2006 (Australia) are as follows:
