All time top movies in admissions USA, Russia, UK, France, Germany, Spain...

I think it's pointless to compare with the 40's and 50's. It was a different world, almost totally irrelevant to now.

When they are finished with remakes from the 90s they will go back.Besides it is just funny seeing people celebrate Mexico reaching 200m admissions in 2011, when Mexico has had 361m in 1983.Australia had 151m adm. in 1945 and today (with 3 times the population) staggering 85m.

On German and Austrian TV the movies from the 50s seem to dominate. So much that you almost can't stomach them anymore.

Australia had 151m adm. in 1945 and today (with 3 times the population) staggering 85m.

Like I said, different worlds.

[lab276]

But it seems that Australia has recovered the best from those highs, achieving more than 50% of the admissions.

All those immigrants helped a little.

I found interesting data sources for admission-numbers in countries dating back some time. Here the (western)-European heavyweights....

It's interesting in the USA the all time low per capita was reached 1969 or so and in European countries ten years later.European cinema must have been strong during until the 70ies. And since then, Hollywood rules.

This is not per capita but absolute numbers, if I get it right. Interesting.(Takes a lot of time to load the first before it's cached. 2 MB. As a jpg it would only be something like 400 kb I realized. )

For the UK the BFI compiled a list that shows Gone with the Wind is still number one there with a staggering 35 million admissions:

Hello pinocchio, it's me Algren from Box Office Mojo. This link appears to be dead. Do you have another source of admissions figures for movies in the UK?

Thanks

Sorry Olive, but that doesn't show any admissions figures. That is just one of BFIs statistical yearbooks. I am looking for a list of admissions figures for movies released in the UK, not just in 2011, but for as far back as possible.Whereabouts in South-west China do you live? I am in Shenzhen..

chengdu. they don't report admissions figures for movies alone, you can calculate by using average ticket price.

Films released in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s are not on that link you gave me. Just new ones. Plus that's not a very good way of doing it because it doesn't take into consideration the matinee and child prices. Plus, that link you gave me shows only the top 20. Easy grosses like that can be found anywhere. But I appreciate your help.There are data for admissions in the UK. Just need to find it.

[enzo1988]

Considering:

-the admissions (not gross) of its initial release (no re-releases added) in USA, UK, France, Japan, Italy, Germany, Spain and Australia (the countries with the most accurate and old data).

-The Population of these 8 countries by year of release.

 

I made this thread that I hope you like it.

All time top movies in admissions for USA, Russia, UK, France and Germany

 

This list for the USA has flaws (Roadshow movies like Ben-Hur and 3D movies are miscalculated) -- but Ghostbusters in 84 still was a bigger hit than TDK:

Rudolf gave me this link for France, actual admission numbers since 1938 or so, the top 250. In France Titanic is the all time winner, and GWTW just number six:

Insidekino.de has a list that tracks movie admissions since 1968. In Germany, The Jungle Book wins (with re-releases), and Titanic is just number two. List however doesn't include the 50ies. Biggest hit in Germany ever seems to have been Der Förster vom Silberwald -- 1954 -- with a mindblowing 28 million admissions:

For Spain, peludo just gave me this link: Top 6 in admissions are Titanic, Avatar, E.T., Doctor Zhivago, The Fellowship of the Ring and Star Wars. (Initial list from 2007, so Avatar has to be added.)

Another link from Rudolf for Russia. It's not all time but a great list since 2008:

Hello everybody, I'm new on this incredible forum. I've been trying to trace italian films' admissions in the major world markets for the period 1945-1980. I had no problems geyying data from France whereas the links you provided above seem not to be working (Bft UK) or are not completely updated. Germany for example doesn't show the years before 1966. I've been also experiencing problems with the US market. I used a Variety list that dates back to 1972 but it concernes only the top 20, I was able to gather some more data for the american market from books about foreign films in USA or from articles from magazine archives such as Variety and Life but I need more. Can someone help me?
