6. In the UK and Ireland, the film was the highest earning film on its opening
weekend. It took in £3,510,000 from 395 cinemas. The Guardian said that it
was one of the biggest recently, and compared it to Slumdog Millionaire (2008),
which, two years earlier, earned £1.5 million less. The King's Speech lasted 3
weeks at the top of the UK Box office, and earned over £3 million for four
consecutive weekends, the first film to do so since Toy Story 3 (2010)
I would expect it to be shown in Romford vue because of what it says above. It
earned more than slumdog millionaire and was the top of the UK box office for
weeks.
For home exhibition, the kings speech was released on
dvd
