FAQ
Ukrainian Box Office All Time: Questions & Answers
The chart's numbers in short: the #1 film, the total, the billion-dollar hits and the US & Canada share, answered from the same 67 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing Ukrainian-language movie of all time?
Mavka: The Forest Song (2023) leads with $18M worldwide. Next come The Stronghold (2017) at $2.7M and Crazy Wedding (2018) at $2M.
How much have Ukrainian-language movies earned at the box office?
67 Ukrainian-language films in our database report a worldwide gross, $42.5M in all, or $634.8K per film on average.
How many Ukrainian-language movies have made $1 billion?
None. The biggest, Mavka: The Forest Song (2023), earned $18M.
How is the all-time Ukrainian box office chart ranked and where do the numbers come from?
Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation. The figures are the reported box office grosses in our database. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films or a blockbuster total on an obscure title, is left out rather than shown as a fact, and so are films whose stored language is most likely wrong.
How often is the all-time Ukrainian box office chart updated?
Grosses change while films are in theaters and whenever a new figure is reported; this chart reads the latest numbers in our database, so an older film can still move after a re-release.
