We thus present two lists of the top grossing movies for 2018, one based on the overall figures for Slovenia as obtained from Box Office Mojo (with the full list of over 170 titles here) – and the other from Kinodvor, who sent us their top ten by ticket sales, for a look those films enjoyed without a bucket of popcorn or gallon of Coke.
Before we get to the top ten movies in Slovenia by box office gross for 2018, let’s take a look at the global top 10, with only four titles appearing in both lists.

Worldwide, moviegoers had a strong preference for comic book movies, with five films based on Marvel or DC characters, while there’s only one of these in the Slovenian top 10. However, an incredible nine of the top 10 movies both worldwide and in Slovenia were either a sequel or adaptation, with the odd one out in both lists being Bohemian Rhapsody.
Here’s the countdown of the top 10 movies in Slovenia for 2018, as decided by ticket purchases:
10. Avengers: Infinity War
9. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
8. Incredibles 2
7. Johnny English Strikes Again
6. A Star is Born
5. Fifty Shades Freed
4. Dr. Seuss' The Grinch
3. Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!
2. Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation
1. Bohemian Rhapsody
Leaving behind the multiplex for more niche fare, we got in touch with Ljubljana’s top arts cinema, Kinodvor (not far from Kinoteka, the leading archive and home of classic and experimental film), and they kindly gave us their top 10 by ticket sales for 2018, with the countdown being as follows:
10. Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot
9. Muškarci ne plaču
8. Un beau soleil intérieur
7. The Children Act
6. Todos lo saben
5. Cold War
