War epic 1917 was the biggest film at the UK box office last year, according to the British Film Institute.
The cultural charity said there has been “significant” recovery in the film and television industry following disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
1917, directed by Sir Sam Mendes, grossed £44.1 million, a significant drop from 2019’s biggest film, Angers: Endgame, which made £88.7 million.
Sir Sam’s film, which was released before the pandemic took hold, follows two young soldiers, played by Dean-Charles Chapman and George MacKay, who venture across enemy lines to deliver a message that could save hundreds of lives.
Sonic The Hedgehog, directed by Jeff Fowler, came second with £19.3 million, while Christopher Nolan’s Tenet ranked third with £17.5 million.

Widely considered one of the most influential cinematographers of all time, his long-standing relationships with the Coen brothers and Sir Sam Mendes have won him countless awards.
