Interstellar tops the UK box office in its opening weekend

November 12, 2014 by Gary Collinson

UK box office top ten and analysis for the weekend of Friday 7th to Sunday 2nd November 2014…

Interstellar may have failed to top the U.S. box office chart, losing out to Disney’s Big Hero 6, but it had no such competition here in the U.K., with the sci-fi epic debuting in first place with £5,378,220 and giving director Christopher Nolan his fourth-biggest opening on these shores after The Dark Knight Rises, The Dark Knight and Inception.

Interstellar was the only newcomer to crack the top ten this past weekend, but Mike Leigh’s latest Mr Turner enjoyed a solid second weekend, climbing up to second place from its seventh-placed opening last week and pushing its total gross to £2.6 million, overtaking Vera Drake to give Leigh his highest-grossing film to date.

Number one this time last year: Gravity

1. Interstellar – £5,378,220 weekend (New)
2. Mr Turner – £1,014,433 weekend (2 weeks)
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – £738,766 weekend (4 weeks)
4. Gone Girl – £696,874 weekend (6 weeks)
5. Fury – £674,430 weekend (3 weeks)
6. The Book of Life – £655,010 weekend (3 weeks)
7. Ouija – £653,678 weekend (2 weeks)
8. Nightcrawler – £545,221 weekend (2 weeks)
9. The Maze Runner – £396,286 weekend (5 weeks)
10. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day – £318,647 weekend (3 weeks)
