Fifteen years ago (2005) -

Highest Debut: - Keeping Mum directed by Niall Johnson and starring Rowan Atkinson and Kristin Scott Thomas which entered the box office at number 4.

Longest run: - Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit which had been on the box office for 8 weeks.

Twenty years ago (2000) -

Twenty five years ago (1995) -

No. 1 movie: - Goldeneye which had been at the top for 2 weeks and with a total gross of £12.2 Million it was also the top total grossing film.

Highest Debut: - Murder In The First directed by Marc Rocco and starring Christian Slater and Kevin Bacon which entered the box office at number 2.

Longest run: - Pocahontas which had been on the box office for 9 weeks.

Thirty years ago (1990) -

No.1 movie: - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which had been at the top for 2 weeks.

Highest debut: - Repossessed directed by Bob Logan and starring Linda Blair and Ned Beatty which entered the box office at number 2.

Top total grossing and longest run: - Ghost which had taken £23.3 Million over 9 weeks of release.

A third week at the top for The Hunger Games: Mockingly Part 2 in the wake of little in the way of new releases in the UK.

The box office is on hold at the moment waiting for one of the biggest releases of the year which left room for Mockingly to make £2.2 million.

This brings the total UK gross for the last of The Hunger Games films to £23.3 million after 3 weeks of release.

Highest new film of the week is Christmas with the Coopers, an all American movie about family meeting up for the holiday season.

A very low debut gross of nearly £700,000 puts the film at number 5, little chance of this film having longevity at the box office though.

Highest total grossing film on the box office is Spectre which has to date grossed over £90 million and this week is at number 3.

Historical charts

A year ago - Padding retained its position at the top of the box office while the top new film was Penguins of Madagascar at 3.

Five years ago - Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 stayed put at the top with Megamind the highest new film at 2.

Ten years ago - Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire was still the top film, a quiet week saw the highest new film at number 4 with Keeping Mum.

Fifteen years ago - How The Grinch Stole Christmas (look out for the remake in the coming years) was the top new film debuting at number 1, it knocked off Charlies Angels which fell to 2.

Twenty years ago - Goldeneye was riding the top of the box office while Murder in the First was the highest new film coming in at 2.

Twenty five years ago - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was still at the top with Repossessed the highest new film at number 2.
