I'm wishing we'd booked American Reunion at my cinema now after reading how well its doing!We didn't really have space for it though.. got Dark Shadows in next week so hopefully that will take some money
i think a lot of people forget how big Mamma Mia was. it was the 5th biggest film worldwide of 2008, beating things like iron man, quantum of solace, wall-e, sex and the city, etc
it was actually up yesterday compared with last monday. overall we've been quite disappointed with it though. it's done ok but nothing special.Mirror Mirror did £210k yesterday nationwide at nearly 400 sites.
i'm told that Mirror Mirror had a "very soft" opening day. exactly what that translates to i'm not sure.. Pirates did about 3x the business at my place yesterday though
don't really want to go into any figures on a public forum, but suffice to say we wouldn't still be showing it if it wasn't worth it!this will be the last weekend for it though, it dropped off a lot today compared with last saturday.plus we have the hunger games starting on thursday which will be showing all day.
We have We Bought A Zoo sharing with War Horse and The Woman In Black and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel sharing with The Artist and The Muppets.we do very well with films for older folks. Marigold Hotel and War Horse have both been amazing here.
I'm told it was very close at the top this week, but Woman In Black just edged out Marigold which was then marginally ahead of Safe House. All around £2.2m
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was packed tonight at my cinema. We are the perfect place for that sort of film though. Should do a good few million nationwide though
it's interesting that the muppets didn't win either weekend, but is actually still ahead of the woman in black because of the midweek business.It's funny how over here family films often do better midweek than at the weekends during school holidays, but it almost never happens in the US
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is out this week as well. Should be a pretty solid hit with the older generation. Although as such it will probably do better midweek than at the weekend.
