I'd say it was The Full Monty and Brassed Off. I'd say it was almost a mini-genre at the start of the Blair years.
There's also Made in Dagenham. There's probably lots of french language films with workers struggle. The one that springs to mind is the hilarious satire Louise-Michel
Studios get 100% of that ticket price for the first 3 weeks that the movie is being shown. The way the contracts are written, a movie would have to be playing for months before theatres get to keep all of the ticket sales. The last movie where that happened was The Full Monty (in 1997).
The theatre gets no part of the ticket sales. For the first few weeks that the movie plays, all the proceeds from ticket sales goes to the movie studio. Every dollar to keep the doors open (and pay the staff) comes from sales at the concession stand.
The last movie where theatres made a profit from the ticket sales was The Full Monty.
