List of highest-grossing films in the Soviet Union

This is the list of highest-grossing films in the Soviet Union, in terms of box office admissions (ticket sales). It includes the highest-grossing films in the Soviet Union (USSR), the highest-grossing domestic Soviet films,[1] the domestic films with the greatest number of ticket sales by year,[2] and the highest-grossing foreign films in the Soviet Union.[3] Note that, in line with the definition above, this list does not include any Soviet television series or television movies, which were not shown in cinemas of the Soviet Union.

The annual list includes sales during each year only, which often means that the total number of tickets sold was bigger. As an example, according to the list below the film The Red Snowball Tree, the top seller of the year 1974, sold 62.5 million tickets during that year. But the total number of sold tickets during all years was bigger; Boris Pavlenok, former deputy director of the USSR GosKino, estimated 140 million.[4] This figure is comparable to some of the United States' all-time highest ticket sellers, such as The Sound of Music, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and Titanic, exceeding the latter's estimated ticket sales of 135.5 million.[5]

In the mid-1960s, the Soviet box office annually sold 4 billion tickets and grossed 1 billion Rbls,[6] equivalent to $1.11 billion[7] (inflation-adjusted $11 billion). In 1973, annual box office admissions reached 4.5 billion ticket sales, equivalent to $2 billion (inflation-adjusted $14 billion) gross revenue and 17.7 admissions per person, more than any other country at the time.[8] Soviet ticket prices were lower than American ticket prices,[9][8] due to lower living costs in the Soviet Union.[9] Ticket prices ranged from 0.50 Rbl to 6 Rbls in 1950,[10] before decreasing to 0.25 руб by the mid-1960s,[11] then increasing to $0.47 by 1973[8] and then 0.50 Rbl by 1982.[9]

Both domestic Soviet films and foreign films were shown, the latter having a limited quota and thus drawing higher average ticket sales than domestic productions.[12][6] Indian films had the strongest presence in the foreign blockbuster charts for four decades, followed by American films.[13][12] Foreign imports included 300 Indian films[14] (most of which were Bollywood films), 41 American films (Hollywood), and 38 French films.[12][6]

More Russians (4.5 billion) go to the movies more times (an average of 17.7 times per person) each year than people in any other country, according to UNESCO statistics for 1973, the last year for which figures are available. Tailing the Russians are Singaporeans, 17.1 times a year, and Hong Kong people, 15.1 times a year. Italians go 10 times, Britons 2.4 times and Frenchmen 3.5 times a year. The high frequency of movie going in Russia is attributed to the low price of movie admission, the drab quality of Soviet TV and the difficulty in getting seats at a restaurant or other places of entertainment. In Russia, where a movie ticket costs about 47 US cents, there are 154,200 cinemas.
