Any figures for BFG? We're having a really good weekend with it, somewhere between Zootropolis and Jungle Book for us. If that translates nationwide it should be about 6 or 7 million
The distributor for BFG is expecting huge numbers - between £30m and £40m total. they told me it will do 'Paddington levels of business'.
I'm not convinced but I'd love to be wrong! Prebookings are looking ok at my place, nothing great though
no-one interested in the box office this week??

pretty boring weekend really.. too much competition for anything to do great
We're looking like being a fair bit down on AoU's opening unless walkups are huge.
I enjoyed the film but thought the first hour really dragged. also found it quite confusing in places - probably should have watched The Winter Soldier again
Rentrak are actually starting to ask for admissions reported alongside £s from this week, although we've been told that we don't have to give this information if we don't want to.
Jungle Book is absolutely huge here.. easily biggest Saturday this year for us.
