gross: "Gross" is the correct answer. As an adjective, "gross" describes a total amount before any deductions are made. Example: Our total profits are very high, but we need to deduct our operating expenses from this. Philip says that two years ago, Delavigne's "gross revenue" was big. The verb, "to gross (a sum of money)", is to earn it before taxes or expenses.

A film's gross refers to:

the total price of popcorn sold during screenings of the film.

This is incorrect, but it would be a great idea to measure the success of some movies according to the amount of popcorn that is eaten during the film.

the total profit after taxes, expenses and other costs.
