If it somehow manages to open to £10m, that'd be incredible. Might double even my conservative £5-5.5m prediction. I knew it would do well but not this well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if people don't care for Nolan's decisions on story or character, this movie in 70mm IMAX (or the 1.43 version of Laser IMAX) is the most incredible theater experience in the world. Absolutely jawdropping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I would have been in years. When they said 75% of it was shot in the 1.43 IMAX format, they weren't kidding or exaggerating. It feels like an even higher percentage while watching it. The regular 70mm photography looked great too, much better than the 35mm photography I remember with TDK, M:I4, and TDKR in 70mm IMAX. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I watch them both back to back it's 70mm IMAX yeah? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathNiel Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Quote In key new territory openings, the UK debuted very strong with an estimated first day of $3.7M on 1,313 screens to take a 56% share of the Top 5 films — that doubles the opening day grosses for both Gravity and Interstellar. Imax has three screens there playing the 70mm version of the sweeping WWII drama. http://deadline.com/2017/07/dunkirk-international-box-office-grosses-1202132130/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) I'm not entirely sure but if Dunkirk hits £10m+ 3-day I think it would be the biggest original opening of all time... Or somewhere in the top 3 surely. I can't think of any others. Edited July 22, 2017 by Heretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senoj Lihp Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I've had to set up a new account since the forums upgraded.. could not log into my old one. We've been full every show this weekend with Dunkirk. Really fantastic opening. Despicable Me is doing more from one show that 3 shows of Cars. Apes holding up OK but nothing special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Feng Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 But the film, which looks like it rose to No. 1 in all markets that it opened in had its biggest bow (not surprisingly) in the U.K. market with $12.4M, which marks the third biggest opening for the director, only behind his two Dark Knight movies. Dunkirk has been the biggest opening to date so far this year in the territory on Imax, where the big-screen epic managed a 14% share from those screens. The studio rolled out the red carpet in the U.K. for a premiere that brought in all the stars and the man of the moment: Christopher Nolan. It didn’t hurt that boy band heartthrob Harry Styles from One Direction is in the film and is a favorite in the U.K. http://deadline.com/2017/07/dunkirk-movie-christopher-nolan-international-box-office-results-opening-weekend-global-1202134249/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I wouldn't be surprised if Dunkirk cracks £40m, maybe £45m. the competition for similar films is pretty weak in August unless Valerian or Atomic Blonde break out and I would not be surprised it manages 3 weeks at number 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
