The UK’s 2014 box office results are in, and The LEGO Movie is the unexpected winner, with the animated comedy grossing a whopping £34.3m to take the top spot.
It’s overall gross will soon be dwarfed by number two film The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, which sits at £33.5m and is still on general release. But according to figures released by Rentrak today, in terms of the 2014 calendar year, LEGO rules the roost.
The biggest British film of the year is The Inbetweeners 2, and while the comedy’s £33.3m tally is some way off its predecessor’s £45m gross, that’s still a huge total for a film which cost relatively little to make.
The other British triumph of 2014 is family film Paddington, which at £27.9m and counting should soon smash through the £30m mark. Expect sequels to follow, while it will be interesting to see if this very British tale can replicate that success across the pond when it hits US screens next week.
