scabab Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 It was rammed when I went on Wednesday in Bluewater. On at least 2 screens. Did they hand out little Frieza phone charms afterwards for you? No unfortunately I didn't get anything like that though I'd heard they were supposed to be giving away something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 1h 1 hour ago The Martian lands with excellent UK debut of around £6.8m, including previews, for Ridley Scott's best-ever opening. Fantastic opening! I hope it can leg its way past £25m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Fox’s sci-fi adaptation posts best-ever UK bow for Ridley Scott. Further distributor results to come… FOX Repeating its chart-topping domestic bow, The Martianlanded top of the UK box office as it dethroned Everest. Fox’s sci-fi adaptation grossed an excellent non-final $9.9m (£6.5m), including just over $2.4m (£1.6m) in previews, from its 585 sites. Its Fri-Sun tally of $7.4m (£4.9m) would have also seen it comfortably debut at number one. That marks director Ridley Scott’s best-ever UK opening, topping Hannibal’s $9.7m (£6.4m) debut from 421 sites. However, it’s worth noting that Hannibal achieved that without previews so it remains Scott’s best Fri-Sun tally. The Martian opened ahead of recent notable sci-fi outingsGravity ($9.5m/£6.2m from 539) and Interstellar ($8.2m/£5.4m from 574). Time will tell if it ends up closer toGravity’s $49.7m (£32.7m) result or Interstellar’s $31.3m (£20.6m). Also for Fox, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials fell 40% with a $913,000 (£600,633) fourth weekend for $12m (£7.9m) to date, as it attempts to overtake The Maze Runner’s $13.5m (£8.89m). UNIVERSAL Last week’s champion Everest fell to third after around a 40% drop in its third weekend. Universal’s real life disaster thriller hiked to an extra $1.3m (£849,634) for $13.3m (£8.73m), and should be on the cusp of £10m by the end of this coming weekend. Also for Universal, The Visit scared up $162,000 (£106,761) for $4.3m (£2.8m) after four weeks in play, as Straight Outta Compton reached $12.4m (£8.15m). WARNER BROS Clocking in at fifth on its UK box office bow was Warner Bros’ The Intern with $1.11m (£732,000) from its 431 sites. That marks the lowest opening for Nancy Meyers since her directorial debut, The Parent Trap, grossed $754,000 (£496,161) from 357 sites back in 1998. The Intern will hope to at least hold well to surpass The Parent Trap’s $7.6m (£5m) result, currently Meyers’ lowest grossing outing. EONE Falling just over 40% (excluding previews), eOne’s Miss You Already recorded a non-final $307,000 (£201,890) second weekend for $1.7m (£1.1m) to date. DISNEY Inside Out is starting to slow down after its excellent UK run. Disney’s critically acclaimed animation fell 58% to take $273,000 (£180,000) for $58m (£38.15m) after 11 weeks in play. ENTERTAINMENT Posting a hefty drop of over 70% in its second weekend, Entertainment’s Solace took just $95,000 (£62,513) for a ten-day tally of $928,000 (£610,872). SONY With the IMAX release of The Walk and the previews ofHotel Transylvania 2 counted towards their official releases on Oct 9 and 16, respectively, Sony’s only chart entry was Pixels with $64,000 (£42,000) for $12.8m (£8.4m) to date. VERTIGO In its third weekend, Vertigo Films’ Bill added $60,000 (£39,629) for $768,000 (£505,468). Given the success ofHorrible Histories, it’s likely to far better on its home entertainment release. DOGWOOF Released in eight sites through Dogwoof, 3½ Minutes, Ten Bullets posted a UK debut of $12,000 (£7,938), including $7,200 (£4,769) in previews. UPCOMING RELEASES This week sees saturation releases for Lionsgate’sSicario (opens Oct 8), Entertainment’s Regression and Sony’s The Walk. Altitude’s The Nightmare, Curzon Artificial Eye’s Red Army and Soda Pictures’ Zarafa are among the films receiving a limited release.

scabab Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) So can someone explain to me why BOM has all different numbers that are a lot lower than they should be. The Martian it said made £6.53 million but in dollars it made $7.28 million even though the exchange rate is 1.5? Edit: According to BOM US $1 = around £0.65 and it's been that way all year and then suddenly this week $1 = £0.89. Is that a mistake on their part?

Heretic Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 38m 38 minutes ago The Martian falls just 17% (excluding previews) in the UK with terrific second weekend of around £4.1m for £13.5m. Amazing drop! £20m is guaranteed. £25m+ looks possible now, and hopefully it can top $40m, which would require around £26m. Interstellar dropped 29% in its second weekend and stood at £12.1m, so The Martian is comfortably pulling ahead. Gravity stood at £14.7m, and Inception at £14.2m. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Lionsgate’s Sicario is the week’s highest new entry with $2.5m (£1.6m) as Legend becomes StudioCanal’s second biggest release ever with $25.7m (£16.75m). Further distributor results to come… FOX Falling just 19% (excluding previews), The Martianremained docked at the top of the UK box office for the second straight week. Fox’s sci-fi adaptation enjoyed a strong $5.9m (£3.84m) second weekend for $20.3m (£13.2m), already making it director Ridley Scott’s fifth biggest UK release with Robin Hood’s $23.6m (£15.4m) shortly to be overtaken. In comparison to recent notable sci-fi outings, The Martian is tracking ahead of Interstellar ($18.7m/£12.2m at same stage) but has fallen behind Gravity, which stood at $22.5m (£14.67m). The Martian is unlikely to record a hat-trick at the top of the UK chart given the preview-boosted opening of Hotel Transylvania 2 and the seven-day Suffragette opening this coming weekend. However, it is well placed to hit £20m and potentially beyond. Also for Fox, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is up to $12.9m (£8.38m) following a $492,000 (£320,656) fifth weekend, and will likely end up with a similar tally to The Maze Runner’s $13.6m (£8.89m). LIONSGATE The week’s highest new entry came in the form ofSicario as it landed second. Lionsgate’s crime drama scored an excellent $2.5m (£1.6m) UK debut from its 434 sites, including $337,000 (£219,737) in previews. That marks director Denis Villeneuve’s best-ever opening ahead of Prisoners’ $2.1m (£1.37m) from 400 sites, and that film’s $11.2m (£7.3m) result will now be Sicario’s target. SONY The Walk stumbled a touch with an uninspiring UK debut of $1.2m (£800,000) from its 481 sites through Sony. That opening includes $427,000 (£278,000) from its IMAX and PLF previews since Oct 2, and overall it marks one of the lowest ever UK debuts for director Robert Zemeckis, behind Contact’s $1.4m (£932,114) from 282 sites. STUDIOCANAL Legend is now StudioCanal’s second biggest release of all time at the UK box office. The well-received Krays biopic added $1.1m (£708,937) for $25.7m (£16.75m) after five weeks in play, taking it past The Imitation Game’s $25.2m (£16.4m). It also means that it’s now the eighth biggest 18-rated film and looks well set to become the seventh biggest, currently The Silence of the Lambs’ $26.3m (£17.12m) result. Also for StudioCanal, Macbeth fell around 30% (excluding previews) as it posted a second weekend of $711,000 (£463,068) for $2.8m (£1.84m) to date, a somewhat disappointing result so far given the marketing push for the film. WARNER BROS The Intern dropped a respectable 25% (excluding previews) on its way to a $777,000 (£506,000) second weekend. Warner Bros’ dramedy is now up to $2.8m (£1.82m) and will likely end its run as director Nancy Meyers’ lowest grossing UK outing, currently The Parent Trap’s $7.7m (£5m). UNIVERSAL Now in its fourth weekend, Universal’s Everest is on the cusp of £10m after trekking to an extra $764,000 (£497,869) for $15m (£9.77m) to date. Also for Universal, Minions and The Visit have amassed $71.4m (£46.5m) and $4.6m (£3m), respectively. DISNEY Rising 2% in its 12th weekend, Disney’s Inside Outadded a further $284,000 (£185,000) for an excellent $59m (£38.4m) to date. CURZON ARTIFICIAL EYE Released in seven sites through Curzon Artificial Eye,Red Army recorded a UK bow of $9,800 (£6,388), including previews. UPCOMING RELEASES This week sees saturation releases for Fox’s Suffragette(opens today, Oct 12), Universal’s Crimson Peak, Warner Bros’ Pan and Sony’s Hotel Transylvania 2. StudioCanal’s The Program receives a wide release, while Picturehouse Entertainment’s The Lobster, Dogwoof’s Censored Voices and Metrodome’s Howl are among the films receiving a limited release. Hotel Transylvania 2 seems to have done really well in previews these past 2 weekends. It's opening with these added on should be near or over $10m. Pan seemed to do quite well this weekend too. Half term is coming up in 2 weeks, which will give these both a nice boost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Rising 2% in its 12th weekend, Disney’s Inside Out added a further $284,000 (£185,000) for an excellent $59m (£38.4m) to date. 60m is still on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 This weekend will be interesting as Suffragette has a seven day opening, HT2 had two weekends of previews and Pan had previews as well so it's tough to say which will be number 1, my guess is HT2 but perhaps The Martian could pull an upset and claim the top spot again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 If we're talking official openings, then it'll be: #1 HT2 #2 Pan #3 Suffragette Actual openings: #1 HT2 #2 Hamlet #3 Suffragette (will be extremely close to Pan) In fact, if HT2's previews have meant that interest in the film this weekend is significantly lower, then... this may sound crazy but Hamlet has a legit shot at being #1. Which would be an all time record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be an all time record. I don't think Hamlet will be counted as it'll be only shown on Thursday live although if the encores are on the weekend then maybe it might chart. Rocky Horror which did £650,000 for its live broadcast wasn't counted in the weekend chart because it was broadcast on a Thursday. Billy Elliot Live IIRC charted because it broadcast on a Sunday.

Heretic Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Tom Linay @TomLinay Oct 14 September's cinema admissions were 9.2m, which is up 8.5% from September 2014. Year to date is now 122.6m, up 7.2% from 2014. Having Spectre open in the last week of October, in half term, is gonna massively inflate October's admissions. November + December look strong this year too, which could push the gap to 10% over last year, so we could see 170m+ admissions. 2012 had 172.5m and 2009 had 173.5m, which is the highest since 1971. If things go well, this year could be the most attended in over 40 years. Requires 52m admissions Oct-Dec, will be tough, but not impossible.
