In 2022, a movie ticket in the United Kingdom cost, on average, 7.69 British pounds – the highest value in the 21st century.
UK's post-pandemic cinema market
In 2021, the box office revenue in the UK added up to nearly 557 million British pounds, up from about 297 million pounds a year earlier. Despite the annual growth of almost 88 percent, the 2021 figure amounts to less than 45 percent of the 1.25-billion-pound box office revenue recorded in 2019, before the coronavirus outbreak. Still, the UK made it to the top five box markets worldwide in 2021, tied with France.
Cinema attendance
In 2021, movie theaters across the UK sold around 74 million tickets, up from less than 44 million movie tickets a year earlier. But, once again, the 2021 figure amounts to approximately 42 percent of the number of admissions recorded in 2019: over 176 million tickets. But a British co-production was the most successful film at the box office in the UK in 2021. "No Time to Die" grossed 91.4 million pounds, more than "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "Dune" combined.
