One of a films most revered key performance indicator is how much they achieve in the Box-office. With at least 90% of a films marketing campaigns designed to drive up the number of attendances at the opening weekend, it is important to keep track of these numbers.
I created this chart to show the UK box office numbers for the week and can be updated to show how the chart evolves throughout the year.
Fighting with my family is a British comedy film. Which would suggest the reasons why its at the top of the box office this week. With just over £2 million its very impressive for a somewhat smaller film. Second on the list is the sequel to the 2014 summer hit The Lego Movie. The first film was very well received so it’s no surprise here that the Second Part achieved over £1 million this week. The third raking film also got past the £1 million mark and also was a comedy. The third and final instalment to the How to Train your Dragon came in fourth, again being a sequel to a popular franchise helps to raise the box office numbers. Green Book an Oscar nominated film had a lot of attention due to the nomination. The Aftermath, a depiction of a war-torn city with the reunion of lovers, British made period pieces also do quite well for themselves in the box office. The Battle Angle finally gets her dues, after being pushed back from its original December release date due to competition, it’s not a surprise this non-franchise starter had a quick burn out. The Kid Who Would be King is a re-imagination of the King Arthur story and a relatively small film that did quite well for itself. Cold Pursuit is another Liam Neeson action thriller that tend to all blend together and perform lucklessly at the box office. Finally, we have a foreign film that made the chart due to a lack of competition.
