Apropos identifying US box office grosses 1946, 54 & 76 from sources available in UK: The New Year edition of the British trade paper "Today's Cinema" published various statistical round-ups, which I think included that information for the previous year. Another trade paper, "Kinematograph Weekly" published an annual, the "Kine Yearbook". All are available in the BFI library and should provide the information you need for 1946 and 1954 (off the top of my head, I recall that the biggest grossing US film in the UK for 1946 was "A Night in Paradise" (US 1946, dir. Arthur Lubin)). Those sources had ceased to be published by 1976, but try the BFI yearbook. You certainly should not need to go to the States just to find the names of these three films. The BFI has complete runs of Hollywood Reporter and Variety, amongst other US trade rags.
