A box office territory,[nb 1] in context of the film industry, ranges from a single country to a grouping of countries for reporting box office gross ticket sales.[1] This is distinct from dependent territories, though such territories under a country's administrative control may confuse box office revenue and reporting due to data variously including or excluding them.[2]

- ^ Kroon 2014, p. 706: "In distribution contracts, these [territories and possessions] may be included as non-contiguous areas when licensing their parent company and may be excluded or licensed on their own or in other combinations. This confuses box office and revenue reporting since the data may include or exclude a country's [territories and possessions] depending on the data source, distribution channel, or media being reported, the time period, and the particular country, territory, or possession."
