  1. Good weather I think may be effecting the BO a little right now. It was very warm in London today. Everyone was out enjoying the sunshine. That coupled with the olympics and closing ceremony could prove a bit of a downer.

    True, but weekends are not that important during the summer as weekdays are so strong. But yes, the sunny weather and Olympics is having some impact.At least the Closing Ceremony is on Sunday night so will effect the weekend BO much less than the Opening Ceremony, which was on a Friday night when more people go to the cinema.
  2. Well, I'm reluctant to do that just because it complicates scoring, but I want everyone to participate so I guess I can allow it. What I would do is take the 100 points that would be allotted to a #1 film and subtract from that the number of films in your list. So if you submit 20 films, every film will receive 80 points, 50 films, 50 points, etc. For comparison, if you submit a ranked list, your #20 gets 81 points, your #19 82 points, and so on. People who rank their films will have a little more impact on the final list but you'd still get a big say.

    Thanks for allowing unranked. Will PM my list within the next few days.

  3. I don't really count Titanic's re-release, because it made like £10m more.When was Avatar's re-release? It made over £91.5m up until the beginning of April, so it can't have been at all significant.

    Yeah, the summer one RTH mentioned. Yes, Avatar is way ahead but most charts include the re-release of Titanic and Avatar so the gap is less than £20M; so re-releases do count I think and I use them as most do.Avatar 2 will be huge but won't beat Avatar as that film was a one-off special phenomenon. It will be interesting to see which film breaks the £100M barrier in the UK. Will be in the next few years I think.
  4. Hmm, I really don't know about that.

    Perhaps the last Hobbit movie has the best chance right now, but even that would be incredibly tough, and unlikely. £93.4m is £20m more than the 2nd highest grossing film ever.

    With the 3D re-release Titanic is 2nd place now with £79M so less than £20M to reach Avatar's £93M. But Titanic did have a re-release which is 'cheating' but Avatar had a summer re-release too so both top 2 films 'cheated'.
  5. I'm curious about numbers in Asia and Latin America, I wonder if it can succeed there, that will be interesting :)

    Shame it will be a while before it fully releases in Asia and South America, though Argentina and Singapore will be early indicators.
  6. That's very impressive, imo.

    But remember that Brave was always going to do very well in Scotland due to the Scottish theme of the film.In the rest of the UK it may not follow the same trend but of course it will still do well and it will be a close fight with IA4 for top animated gross this summer!BTW I am just loving the UK Summer 2012 BO, so strong! :D
  7. Monday drops are solid, Ted 37% £1.13, TDKR 40% £0.8m, Brave passed £1.Next week is tricky, film are getting released after the Olympics, Bourne, Barve opening on Monday, Expendables previews on Thursday.

    Nice Mondays indeed. B)As I said earlier, next week is going to be mental!
