1 meaning of grossing

1
verb
Present participle and gerund of gross.
The film kept grossing millions long after its opening weekend.
Grossing well below projections, the sequel disappointed its studio.
Note
A participle of the earnings verb, so it nearly always takes a sum as its object: grossing millions, grossing $40 million worldwide. It fills progressive tenses (the film is still grossing millions) and works as a gerund (grossing that much took a year). Its sense matches the adjective for an amount before deductions. The adjective's other meanings, offensive or disgusting, do not carry over to this form.
