[Romania Box Office]

I honestly think there is not. From what I know, Avatar is the highest grossing with 6 million and on second place there would be a Pirates of the Caribbean movie (don't remember which one) that grossed around 2 million I think. From there is goes downhill.There are numerous lists around with Top 10 movies of 2011 and Top 5 movies of 2012 (just yet). Also... from boxofficemojo.com.I could get a top 10 list of the movies all time, but that only from 2006 to this day (as there isn't any box office data sooner than that on BOM, the only site that has grosses in US currency)

There is plenty of information about the Romanian boxoffice on this site - http://www.cinemagia.ro/boxoffice/premiere/There are yearly rankings dating back to 1993 and it has a weekend boxoffice section.
