Oasis documentary opens with £675k preview box office

The new Oasis documentary Don't Look Back In Anger has made an immediate mark at the box office, taking about £675,000 on its first preview day. Screen Daily reported the early figure as the film prepared to move into a much wider weekend release, giving the Gallagher brothers' reunion story one of the most closely watched cinema openings in the UK entertainment conversation this week.

The number is notable because it comes before the film's broad weekend rollout rather than after a full release period. The documentary opens widely this weekend across nearly 670 sites for Disney, according to Screen Daily and the BBC. That combination of a strong preview-day result and a large site count has put the film firmly at the centre of the weekend box-office discussion.

What Don't Look Back In Anger is about

Don't Look Back In Anger charts the Gallagher brothers' 2025 reunion tour. Its focus is the return itself: the film brings together footage from the tour and a joint interview with the brothers, making the reunion the central subject rather than treating it as a background chapter in a broader career retrospective. The BBC's coverage also places the film squarely around that 2025 comeback.

That gives audiences a clearly defined proposition. This is a documentary built around the period when Oasis reunited and went back on tour, with the brothers appearing together in an interview and with live-era material from the tour included. Those details are most likely to shape interest among viewers deciding whether to see the film in cinemas this weekend.

Gallagher brothers appear together in a joint interview

One of the documentary's headline elements is the joint interview with the Gallagher brothers. What is confirmed is that the interview is shared, and that it sits alongside footage from the 2025 reunion tour.

That matters to the film's identity because the documentary is not relying solely on concert material. By combining a joint interview with tour footage, Don't Look Back In Anger is presented as both a record of the reunion on stage and a film that puts the brothers themselves directly into the story, as Screen Daily and the BBC have reported.

Oasis film opens at nearly 670 sites for Disney

The scale of the weekend release is another major part of the story. Don't Look Back In Anger is due to open widely across nearly 670 sites for Disney, with the wide opening landing this weekend.

With about £675,000 already taken on the first preview day, the wider release now becomes the next key box-office marker. For now, the picture is straightforward: a substantial preview-day start is being followed by a broad cinema launch.

Venice and London premieres drew strong reaction

The film also arrives after strong reaction at its Venice and London premieres, as reported by Screen Daily and the BBC, before the film's wider cinema opening.

That premiere reception adds to the momentum around a release already being described as the UK cinema story of the moment. Between the reunion subject, the brothers' joint interview, the tour footage and the early preview takings, the documentary has several clear reasons for its current prominence.

Why the Oasis documentary box office is in focus this weekend

The immediate question for the weekend is how Don't Look Back In Anger performs once its nearly 670-site release is fully under way. The first preview day gives the film an early figure of about £675,000 before the wider opening.

For Oasis fans, the draw is clear: a documentary about the 2025 reunion tour, a joint Gallagher brothers interview and footage from the shows themselves. For the wider cinema market, the interest is in whether that preview-day start carries through the weekend, as Screen Daily and the BBC track the release.
