Heretic Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) That's pretty good actually, so with Monday included it'll probably be over £16m 6 day. Hasn't really looked that busy so I'm surprised by that number. Should be enough to hit £30m, which would be down only 20% or so from F7. F7 opened to £15.5m 4-day including Easter Monday. Probably would have been close to £20m if it had opened on Wednesday like F8, so again, this is down about 20%.

Heretic Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 BatB up to £64.7m, down 7%. With bank holiday included, it should be near £66m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I'm more impressed Boss Baby increased but I guess families want to see it before kids go back to school. Fast 8 had a good opening, I imagine it'll hit £30m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm that's funny that they'll claim "it was up" but they claimed the 7 day run of $8m as it's "weekend number" last week. You cant have it all!

JCS Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Quote Universal’s franchise triumphs again with $17.8m debut for latest entry. UK TOP FIVE Ranking Film/Distributor Weekend Gross Running Total 1 Fast & Furious 8 (Universal) $17.8m (£14m) $20.6m (£16.3m) 2 The Boss Baby (Fox) $4.6m (£3.6m) $23m (£18.1m) 3 Beauty And The Beast (Disney) $3.3m (£2.6m) $83.2m (£65.9m) 4 Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experience (eOne) $652,000 (£514,000) $3.3m (£2.8m) 5 The Handmaiden (Curzon Artificial Eye) $695,000 (£548,000) $695,000 (£548,000) (Note - Dollar conversions are based on today’s rates) UNIVERSAL Universal posted its third highest UK opening of all time with Fast & Furious 8. The film took $17.8m (£14m) from 573 locations over its opening weekend, including $6.8m (£5.4m) in Wednesday and Thursday previews, and sits on a running total of $20.6m (£16.3m) including the bank holiday Monday (April 17). The opening was the biggest UK debut for the long-running franchise (though not the biggest Friday to Sunday result if you remove previews), but it has a long way to go to match Fast & Furious 7 on $49m (£38.6m). Get Out continued its impressive run by posting $575,000 (£455,000) from 345 locations to keep it seventh in the chart. The US comedy has now taken $11.5m (£9.1m) in the UK.

The live action remake of Disney’s animated classic now sits 11th in the list of the UK’s highest-grossing films of all time and is on the cusp of breaking into the top ten. Moana, still playing in 213 sites in its 20th week of release, crossed $25m (£20m) this weekend. FOX After opening top last week, The Boss Baby added a healthy $4.6m (£3.6m) Fri-Sun from 614 sites to take its running total to $23m (£18.1m). The film was one of only two titles in the top ten to record an uptick this weekend, with the Easter holiday helping it to a 29% rise on the previous Fri-Sun period. The latest entry in live cinema experience Secret Cinema, which is themed around Fox’s Moulin Rouge!, posted a three-day total of £257,000 (£203,000) from its single location Fri-Sun, taking it to $3.3m (£2.6m). Now in its seventh week, Logan added $206,000 (£162,000) from 216 sites to take its running total to $30m (£23.7m). Viceroy’s House added $29,000 (£23,000) from 41 sites and now sits on a little under $5m (£3.9m). EONE Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experience dropped 51% in its second week, adding $652,000 (£514,000) from 546 sites. Its running total now sits at $3.3m (£2.8m) after two weeks. WARNER BROS Crime caper Going In Style posted $634,000 (£499,000) from 458 sites in its second week of release and now sits on $2.4m (£1.9m).

SONY Animated feature Smurfs: The Lost Village was boosted by the Easter weekend, seeing a 16% rise in takings to $556k (£440,000), which took its running total to $4.9m (£3.9m). PARAMOUNT Ghost In The Shell was hit by a 50% drop in its third week of release, posting $465k (£367k) for a running cume of $6.6m (£5.2m). CURZON ARTIFICIAL EYE Opening this weekend, The Handmaiden posted $347,000 (£274,000) Fri-Sun from 95 locations. Including previews, the film’s debut totalled $695,000 (£548,000). LIONSGATE Power Rangers dropped out of the top ten in its fourth week of release, taking $277,000 ($218,000) from 340 sites for a running total of $5.8m (£4.6m).

Heretic Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Strong opening for F8, should be another £30m grosser. Boss Baby has done really well over the holidays, and some schools are still off this week, so a total of around £25m seems doable. Impressive considering it's faced competition from one of the biggest films ever. Speaking of BatB, also a great week for it, and it should be closing in on £70m after this weekend. A total of £75m ($95) looks likeliest, which would place it at number 6 of all time. Needs £79m for a gross above $100m which is unlikely given the fact holidays are coming to an end, and GotG will be taking more screens next week. Hope Get out can squeeze past £10m. Either way, it's had a superb run. Edited April 18, 2017 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Great opening for Fast although it's unlikely to outgross Fast 7's final gross but £30-33m is doable. It's difficult to predict GOTG V2 OW but I think £9-10m is doable, perhaps more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
