As is well documents the COVID-19 pandemic and its devastating effect on the world has been the story of the summer, and in fact the year, and it has had the biggest impact on the box office ever.
Cinemas across the globe started closing down in the middle of March and didn't open again in the UK until early July, so the summer box office period of May till early September has been greatly effected.
Most of the Spring and Summer potential blockbusters got their release dates moved, at least once, including Mulan, A Quiet Place Part II, Tenet and Ghostbusters: Afterlife and some of them got a direct to VOD release, including Mulan!
Tenet did finally get a cinema release at the tale end of August and was just about the biggest film of the summer and when the movie theatres finally opened the box office continued where it left off with the Pixar movie Onward still at the top.
What you will also see in the list of top 10 movies for the summer is evidence that movie theatres used old catalogue titles to try and entice movie goers back hence Jurassic Park and Dirty Dancing showing up.
Here is a breakdown of the top 5 film of the summer box office 2020.
Christopher Nolan potential big summer blockbuster had its difficulties on its way to the box office but it finally got a release on 28th August and was hailed as the saviour of the cinema.
The movie had a good start to its box office career and took £5.3 Million on its debut and took £10 Million over the Summer period.
In comparison the top film of summer 2019 was the The Lion King remake which took over £71 Million.
Disney's Pixar movie Onward was the top film on weekend of 13th March when cinemas closed and when they came back it was still the top movie, it has remained in the top 3 for every UK box office since.
Over the summer the movie took was has tuned out to be quite an impressive £1.6 Million.
After the top 2 potential blockbusters we start to get movies which would not have been big movies, but due to the lack of big blockbusters they got a lot of exposure, maybe still not taking as much as they would have done but having good box office runs.
This Russell Crowe movie was the first new movie to get released after the closures and benefitted from that, it has a big star name and got a decent amount of hype and exposure.
The movie took £1.4 Million over the summer period.
Another movie which has had a decent box office run that would not have without the lack of blockbusters is director Alexs Stadermann likeable animation which took just over a Million pound over the summer.
Perhaps the most controversial movie of the summer, the sequel movie was at the start of the summer the biggest movie to go direct to VOD that would have had a good box office run.
The cinema chains, especially the American company AMC which owns the ODEON chain in the UK objected to this move, this was at a time when the world didn't know how long the closures would last.
Despite the release onto VOD the movie still took a very respectable £745K at the UK box office, this is no where near tens of million it has taken on digital.
It may have been a quiet weekend at the global box office but its still quite an achievement for Better Day to be released in a single country and top the global box office, Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil was very close but falls to second place.
Directed by Derek Tsang the tale of love and murder makes its way to the top with a debut weekend of $85.3 Million.
The film has been well received and as it opens in more territories it should hang around for a while.
The Disney sequel falls from the top to number 3 this week with a global weekend take of $82.8 Million from 57 countries.
This put the films global gross at $293.5 Million after 2 weeks of release with $300 Million in its sights before next weekend.
The DC smash villain movie falls to number 3 this weekend with $66.7 Million form 80 countries.
This puts the films total gross at an amazing $849 Million after 4 weeks, just shy of $850 Million, but the film must have $1 Billion in its sights.
Were nearly at Halloween so the spooky Kooky family are preparing themselves for a (possible) just up the box office, in the mean time they sit at number 4 this week with $22.2 Million from 19 countries for a $84 Million total after 3 weeks.
The Zombieland sequel falls to 5 this week with $12.8 Million from 41 countries for a $63.6 Million total after 2 weeks.
Worthy of note this week is the new entry of the next terminator film which makes its debut at number 7 with $16.7 Million altohugh it has only been released in 10 countries with most others in the coming weeks.
This week horror sequel The Woman In Black Angel of Death makes its way to the top of the video chart on it's debut week of sale.
The Woman In Black Angel of Death was released at the UK box office on 2nd January 2015 as a sequel to the successful Daniel Radcliffe film of 2013 The Woman In Black.
The original went on to gross £21 million at the UK box office, this sequel was on the chart for 3 weeks, entered at number 4 and just about grossed £5 million, a relative failure in comparison.
Last weeks top film The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel falls just single place to number 2 after 2 weeks at the top.
Other new film this week are: The Tale of The Princess Kaguya at number 13 and The Voices at number 18.
