I'm a new moderator of this thread started in 2012 by ajde If you want to know how Poland Box Office works, first you have to know that the history of box office here has 4 phases: 1) before WW2 - no numbers, no data - the country was new, just from 1918 as a sovereign nation; 2) just after the 2nd World War (1945-1949) - data are only from local, USSR and Czechoslovakia movies (but movies from other countries were in cinemas); 3) from 1950-1989 - time under Soviet power, cinema was one of the best entertainment here and maybe only one place when people can see what's behind Iron Curtin - movies from RFN, France or the USA were postponed about 2 years but most of them were distributed here. In TV we had only one then two channels with propaganda from the government and that's it. That is why during that time in some years adm. of the year was like over 7 times bigger than population! 4) modern era after 1989 year - 1989 year was a year of political changes, first democratic elections and change from socialism to capitalism, in that year cinemas were more empty because of strikes etc. and cinemas started to became private rather than government's, TV was free from propaganda and some new channels were added. That's why people started to spend time in homes more often. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ALL TIME CHARTS (based on INSIDEKINO and BOXOFFICEowy ZAWRÓT GŁOWY) The most successful films of all time in gross (lc) since 1989 No. PLN (lc) Movie 1 105,261,308 Clergy (Kler) 2 105,089,063 Ogniem i mieczem 3 88,329,136 Avatar 4 82,839,843 Pan Tadeusz 5 69,045,592 Quo Vadis 6 65,204,800 Listy do M. 3 7 62,767,218 Star Wars: The Force Awakens 8 58,522,569 Pitbull: Niebezpieczne kobiety 9 54,638,129 Shrek Forever 10 54,004,780 Listy do M. 2 The most successful films of all time in gross ($) since 1989 [est.] No. USD ($) Movie 1 $28,274,637 Clergy (Kler) 2 $26,366,071 Ogniem i mieczem 3 $26,135,805 Avatar 4 $20,879,608 Pan Tadeusz 5 $18,484,522 Lejdis 6 $18,014,551 Shrek the Third 7 $17,725,599 Listy do M. 3 8 $17,262,308 Shrek Forever 9 $16,863,883 Quo Vadis 10 $16,685,439 Star Wars: The Force Awakens The most successful films since in admission since 1989 No. Admission Movie 1 7,154,579 Ogniem i mieczem 2 6,168,344 Pan Tadeusz 3 5,198,730 Clergy (Kler) 4 4,302,445 Quo Vadis 5 3,766,267 Avatar 6 3,650,536 Titanic 7 3,462,021 The Passion of the Christ 8 3,395,226 Shrek 2 9 3,352,805 Shrek the Third 10 3,009,971 Listy do M. 3 The best OW ever in admission since 1989 No. Admission Movie 1 935,357 Clergy (Kler) (PL) 2 834,479 Fifty Shades of Grey 3 793,731 Shrek the Third 4 789,568 Star Wars: The Force Awakens 5 767,519 Pitbull: Niebezpieczne kobiety (PL) 6 736,812 Listy do M. 3 (PL) 7 711,906 Botoks (PL) 8 693,563 The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies 9 658,746 Polityka (PL) 10 628,625 Kobiety mafii (PL) The best 2nd weekend ever in admission since 1989 No. Admission Movie 1 772,316 Clergy (Kler) (PL) 2 524,455 Planeta Singli (PL) 3 495,990 Shrek the Third 4 493,190 Listy do M. 3 (PL) 5 484,203 365 dni (365 Days) (PL) 6 454,488 Pitbull: Niebezpieczne kobiety (PL) 7 445,873 Miszmasz, czyli Kogel-Mogel 3 (PL) 8 434,401 Listy do M. 2 (PL) 9 433,138 Shrek 2 10 422,088 Star Wars: The Force Awakens The best 3rd weekend ever in admission since 1989 No. Admission Movie 1 448,899 Clergy (Kler) (PL) 2 387,917 Frozen II 3 352,615 The Passion of the Christ 4 274,252 Lejdis (PL) 5 266,681 Listy do M. 2 (PL) 6 266,619 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 7 260,118 Avatar 8 258,637 Shrek Fovever 9 257,893 Pitbull: Niebezpieczne kobiety (PL) 10 253,963 Listy do M. 3 (PL) The best 4th weekend ever in admission since 1989 No. Admission Movie 1 294,791 Clergy (Kler) (PL) 2 287,903 The Passion of the Christ 3 238,009 Listy do M. 2 (PL) 4 220,521 Avatar 5 220,134 Listy do M.
