A weekly Rundown of the UK box office chart headlines over the last 30 years.

A year ago (2019) -

Making its debut at the top was Fighting With My Family starring Dwayne Johnson and Thomas Whilley and directed by Stephen Merchant.

The longerst run on the box office and the top total grossing film was Bohemian Rhapsody which had taken £54.2 Million over 19 weeks of release.

Five years ago (2015) -

Also making its debut at the top was The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel starring Maggie Smith and Richard Gere and directed by John Madden.

The film with the longest run was The Theory Of Everything which had been on the box office for 9 weeks.

The top total grossing film of the week was Fifty Shades Of Grey which had taken £30.3 Million after 3 weeks of release.

Ten years ago (2010) -

The number one film was Avatar which had been at the top for 9 weeks and with a total gross of £86.8 Million it was also the top total grossing film.

The top new film of the week was The Crazies directed by Breck Eisner and starring Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell which entered the box office at number 3.

The longerst run on the box office and the top total grossing film was Avatar which had taken £86.8 Million over 11 weeks of release.

Fifteen years ago (2005) -

Making its debut at the top was Hide And Seek starring Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning and directed by John Polson.

The film with the longest run was The Aviator which had been on the box office for 10 weeks.

The top total grossing film of the week was Meet The Fockers which had taken £26.3 Million after 5 weeks of release.

Twenty years ago (2000) -

The number one film was Toy Story 2 which had been at the top for 3 weeks and with a total gross of £32.1 Million it was also the top total grossing film.

The top new film of the week was The Talented Mr. Ripley directed by Anthony Minghella and starring Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow which entered the box office at number 3.

The film with the longest run was East Is East which had been on the box office for 17 weeks.

Twenty five years ago (1995) -

Making its debut at the top was Natural Born Killers starring Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis and directed by Oliver Stone.

The longerst run on the box office and the top total grossing film was Forrest Gump which had taken £16.3 Million over 21 weeks of release.

Thirty years ago (1990) -

Making its debut at the top was Born On The Fourth Of July starring Tom Cruise and Raymond J. Barry and directed by Oliver Stone.

The longerst run on the box office and the top total grossing film was Back To The Future Part II which had taken £10.4 Million over 15 weeks of release.

This week sequel movie The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel makes its debut at the top of the UK box office chart.

The original cast returns for the sequel to the 2012 movie with the help of American star Richard Gere who is added to the cast to give it an ‘American' appeal.

The film takes £3.7 million on it's debut weekend which is far better than the £2.2 million of the original, that film had long lasting appeal, time will tell if this follows.

Falling into the runner up spot after 2 weeks at the top is Fifty Shades Of Grey, a third weekend gross of £2.5 million brings the total to £30.4 million making it by far not the best grossing film of 2015 to date.

Worth mentioning, if the chart were based on the full week ticket sales and not just the weekend, Fifty Shades of Grey would have retained it's position at the top with £5 million.

Other new films to enter the box office this week are: Focus at 3, The Boy Next Door at 7 and It Follows at 8.

Historical charts

A Year ago - The Logo Movie was still riding high at the top of the box office which Liam Neeson starred in the highest new film at 2 Non-Stop.

Five years ago - Avatar was still the top film in the UK while the highest new film was The Crazies which entered at number 3.

Ten years ago - Robert De Nero starred in the chiller Hide and Seek which entered at the top knocking Meet The Fockers down to number 2.

Fifteen years ago - There was no moving Toy Story 2 which spent another week at the top while the highest new film of the week was The Talented Mr. Ripley which entered at number 3.

With the school half term week and not so good weather hitting Britain the red and blue gnomes once again took hold of the box office chart leaving Paul having to make do with the second place.

Having already spent a week at the top Gnomeo and Juliet climb back up with a half term weekend take of £2,502,806 which boosts its takings over 3 weeks to a very health £12,901,447.

Last week top film falls to number two, clearly not being as kiddie friendly as the Gnomes with a gross of £2,073,462 giving it a 10 day total of £10,110,433.

Highest new entry of the week is the sci-fi thriller I am Number Four which should have appealed in numbers to the teen on half term but has a fairly mellow debut with £1,628,523.

Yogi Bear kept the kids happy over the school break and adds another £1,465,863 to its £7,635,574 total at 4 and Tangled completes a very kid friendly top 5 with £1,352,104 for a very impressive £19,130,723 total.

Again this week's box office was way above this time last year when Avatar was still at the top and closing in on being the first UK film to take £100 million at the box office, while Peter Jacksons The Lovely Bones climbed to number 2. Horror film The Crazies debuted at 3 and The Frog Princess and Percy Jackson hung around the top 5.
