We certainly have the same right as the IMDB to reproduce the raw info, the question is whether the layout/presentation is too derivative. I would say that a league table like this is the obvious, natural one, and we're ok. (NB: IANAL, nor do I play one on TV)
Here are the top 25 grossing movies of all time, based on total receipts to December 11, 2001.
