The following lists represent the highest-grossing films in Romania. This lists only accounts for the films' theatrical box office earning and not their ancillary revenues (i.e. home video rental and sales and television broadcast).
In 2009 there was a significant increase in the Romanian box office due to rising of inflation, the appearance of new theaters in several cities of the country and a higher effort in promoting the films. In April 2014, Cinema City International, who is the main cinema operator in Romania, plans 22 new cinema openings in Romania between 2014 and 2016.
Romania's highest-grossing films
The most represented year on the list is 2024 with 8 films. Titanic is the first film in Romania to surpass the 1 million lei mark, Avatar is the first film to surpass the 10 and 20 million lei mark, and Avatar: The Way of Water is the first film to surpass the 30 million lei mark.
