As we're now officially into the final months of the summer blockbuster season, what kind of year has it been at cinemas so far?

Going by figures released by RenTrak / ComScore, it's been a pretty successful one for Disney and Universal, who took five places in the ten highest-grossing films of 2017 in the Republic of Ireland so far. Not surprisingly, four of the movies in the top ten were animated, three were sequels, and three were comic-book movies. Only two films were live-action, not a sequel and were not attached to a franchise.

All told, the ten highest-grossing films in Ireland have so far made €28,911,401 combined.

Here's how they break down.



1. Beauty And The Beast - €5,313,205

2. Sing - €3,502,636

3. Despicable Me 3 - €3,270,103
