while it didn't reach the totals i posted earlier, the rain just kept on hanging around.  The system actually got off the coast, started to strengthen again which meant it started wrapping the rain around hence it took ages too clear (why the game was cancelled.)

 

Also highly doubt the movies were affected, I went to chermside shopping centre this afternoon... it was nigh on impossible to get a carpark there ... lol  sure there were impacts on the smaller cinemas (eg. i doubt Rocky will be open for quite a while) but the bigger ones i doubt were affected in the end.

 

anyway any news on how big the drop is for 50 shades (last bit of info was for thursday a few posts back)

[Rthmessiah]

FSOG should end up round 4-4.1m dep on sunday hold, KTSS around 2-2.1m,JA around 2m, AS 1m

[Ball Lightning]

Pretty decent opening for JA actually!

[DeeCee]

I was thinking JA might have struggled to get much over $1m.

Any chance you can list the biggest venues for The Combination? I remember when I worked at Bankstown it was one of our biggest grossers ever, so would be interesting to see how it stacked up compared to others.

The content of the film matches the demographics of those areas so well its actually funny.

The amount of fights we had at Bankstown was ridiculous.

[DeeCee]

I was looking at the local cinema times and of the 10 films showing I've seen 7 of them. I've given the movies a miss this weekend.

I didn't expect it to be so close.

[Ball Lightning]

Focus really picked up over the weekend! Still a few more weeks of relative quietness

[DeeCee]

And Kingsman finally pulls ahead off Shades.

[eXtacy]

22m already for 50SOG

[Ball Lightning]

Chappie performing poorly nation wide coming in under Focus and 2BEMH for Thursday-Friday.

Film (T&F) (Total)

Focus ($637k) ($4.2m)

2ndBEMH ($611k) ($10.5m)

Chappie ($520k) ($530k)

[JJ-8]

And Kingsman finally pulls ahead off Shades.

 

I'm more impressed with Kingsman than how shades has performed... 

 

Shades: 10m+ OW ... will be lucky to reach 25m at this rate.

Kingsman : 4m OW ... is going to get very close to 20m at this rate... 

 

though next 2 weekends (after the weekend we are in) could see some big hits...

 

19th March - Insurgent 5m+ ? (I think it could open bigger than the firsts 3.1m given less competition it now faces ~ Divergent faced The Lego Movie & CA2 in their 2nd weeks and TASM 2 opened the week after meaning it was sandwiched between all that.)

19th March - Home 2.5m (could be a surprise hit here given every time my kids see the trailer for this, they go nuts for it!)  gonna be a leggy run though with easter coming up.

26th March - Cinderalla 10m (it could go as low as 6m but i'd consider it a miss at that point, but if the WOM on this is true - been good stateside so far - then 12m+ might even be possible here.

26th March - Shaun the Sheep     Forgot this got made... i'm so there OW ....     sorry just couldn't resist... this makes more than 1m ....... umm i dunno.  either way expect some impressive holds over the easter holidays

 

(ok save me i'm now singing the shaun the sheep tune........) 

 

It doesn't let up either:

 

2nd April - Furious 7 - 12m ... is that possible (especially if cinderalla does it a week earlier) - heck it could higher given the paul walker factor, and don't forget F&F 6 made 11.1m over it's first 4 days ~ it did on the queens b'day weekend but still impressive.)

2nd April - Spongebob If Furious wasn't opening on the same weekend then i'd go with 4m+ but i'm thinking 3m with legs through the easter holidays.

 

ok nothing i can see after that for a few weeks until...  (I'll just post up some numbers to chew on for now......)

 

23rd April - Avengers Age of Ultron (OD = 7m; OW = 16m ~ not going for the record just yet, but it's not impossible to believe)

14th May - Mad Max Fury Road (4m and i think i'm optimistic on this)

21st May - Tomorrowland (5m - this shows so much promise so i'm hedging my bets either way with this prediction... could go haywire or could blow this out of the water......)

28th May - San Andreas (6m - daring i know.. but i love the trailer and the fact it's filmed in my backyard )

(I won't go any further for now)
