You should probably indicate a source or which box office you are referring to. Yearly, domestic US?

Oh really, my source was Wikipedia, but I guess Mojo is more reliable, thanks :)

The phrase "one single word" is tautological; saying the same thing twice.

You could say "consist of one word" or "consist of a single word", but both words are unnecessary.

Great poll El. :)

The poll leader Jaws was nominated for Best Picture, but did not win.
