[[File:Birth of a Nation theatrical poster.jpg|thumb|upright|right|''The Birth of a Nation'' adalah pelopor berbagai teknik pembuatan film yang masih dipakai hingga sekarang dan merupakan film tersukses sepanjang masa ketika pertama kali dirilis.|alt=Poster bioskop ''The Birth of a Nation'' menampilkan laki-laki bertudung sedang membawa salib terbakar di atas kuda.]]
Sedikitnya sebelas film memegang rekor 'film berpenghasilan tertinggi' sejak ''The Birth of a Nation'' menempati peringkat pertama pada tahun 1915. ''The Birth of a Nation'' dan ''Gone with the Wind'' masing-masing bertahan sebagai film berpenghasilan tertinggi selama 25 tahun berturut-turut. Rekor ini juga dipegang tiga kali oleh film-film Steven Spielberg dan dua kali oleh film-film James Cameron. Spielberg menjadi sutradara pertama yang memecahkan rekornya sendiri ketika ''Jurassic Park'' mengalahkan ''E.T.''. Cameron mengulangi hal yang sama ketika ''Avatar'' mengalahkan rekor ''Titanic''. Saat merebut peringkat pertama tahun 2019, ''Avengers: Endgame'' menjadi film sekuel pertama yang memegang rekor film berpenghasilan tertinggi. Dengan demikian, berakhir pula dominasi Spielberg/Cameron selama 36 tahun.
Beberapa sumber mengklaim ''The Big Parade'' mengalahkan ''The Birth of a Nation'' sebagai film berpenghasilan tertinggi, lalu digantikan oleh ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'' yang tidak lama kemudian digeser oleh ''Gone with the Wind''.<ref name="Dirks (2010)" /> Penghasilan pasti ''The Birth of a Nation'' tidak diketahui, tetapi penghasilan globalnya diperkirakan mencapai $5,2 juta tahun 1919 menurut perkiraan modern.<ref name="Wasko">{{cite book |last=Wasko |first=Janet |contribution=D.W.

This 'trade legend' has finally been acknowledged by ''Variety'' as a 'whopper myth', and the amount has been revised to $5 million. That figure seems far more feasible, as reports of earnings in the Griffith collection list gross receipts for 1915–1919 at slightly more than $5.2 million (including foreign distribution) and total earnings after deducting general office expenses, but not royalties, at about $2 million.}}</ref> Penayangan luar negerinya tertunda akibat Perang Dunia I.
