Last year was a record-breaking year for the cinema box office - with Inside Out 2 becoming the most successful animated film of all time, and Deadpool & Wolverine beating the record for highest-earning ‘R’ rated film.
In the UK those were the two films that topped the annual charts, closely followed by Wicked, Despicable Me 4, and Paddington 2.
Hollywood strikes meant that the overall year’s earnings were a disappointing £931m, but it has been predicted that will rise to over £1 billion this year.
Here are the 11 films that have made most cash as of May 2025.
9. Snow White
Disney's live action remake of classic animated film Snow White was a critical and commercial flop, with some suggesting it could lead to the end of such films being made. It's still eased into the UK top ten of 2025 thusfar, earning $14,944,036 at the box office. | Contributed
10. We Live in Time
Tearjerker 'We Live in Time' is Florence Pugh's second entry in the top 10, with box office earnings of $10,991,702. It tells the story of a couple's relationship over a decade, told using a nonlinear narrative centred around a heartbreaking cancer diagnosis. Andrew Garfield co-stars. | Contributed
11. Mickey 17
Bong Joon-ho's sci-fi 'Mickey 17' completes our list, with UK box office takings of $9,455,776. Starring Robert Pattinson, it sees a man join a space colony as an 'expendable' - a worker who is used for research and who is cloned every time he dies. | Contributed
