[The Amazing Spider-Man OS Thread (413M)]

I hope for more of this in TASM2 :)I think this one will be very successful : no reboot effect, bigger emerging markets, inflation..The billion WW will be passed

Hopefully yes, I really liked TASM actually even though many did not.$1B WW sounds very nice for TASM 2.

[Brave OS Thread]

in Japan Brave is bombing, so all now depends on UK

We won't let you down!I hope.

[Weekend Estimates (8/3-5/12): TDKR @ #1 w/ $10.4m Fri/35.5 wknd, TR: $9.2m/24.5 (Boxoffice.com est.)]

Good weekend estimates for TDKR, $35M+ is great to see.Should reach $450M now.

[Kids' Movies Not Suitable for Kids]

Coraline for sure, so dark.

[UK Box Office Thread]

That is very promising, considering IA4 is a sequel to a very popular franchise.

Yes it is! Hope Brave does well in England + Wales too when it opens but we do love Pixar so it should.Though Brave is set in Scotland and has Gaelic themes so it may perhaps be punching above with its weekend gross in Scotland especially and Ireland.

[UK Box Office Thread]

Wow, £9M+ for Ted!If that number sticks, it should go past predicted mid-£20Ms and break £30M ($47M) as WOM will be fantastic and it could go even higher.Solid weekend for TDKR too.

[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey OS Thread: OVER 1B WW!]

I trust Peter Jackson and he knows what he is doing. Apparently TH book breezes through a lot of things so the film will be more descriptive and use Tolkein's extra notes and stuff.

[The Amazing Spider-Man OS Thread (413M)]

I don't like the over-use of 3D in films but TASM was actually good in 3D. You felt like Spider-Man swinging through NY!

[Ted OS thread]

500M should happen without much problem.

We will see, might be swayed after this weekends OS gross.

[Weekend Estimates (8/3-5/12): TDKR @ #1 w/ $10.4m Fri/35.5 wknd, TR: $9.2m/24.5 (Boxoffice.com est.)]

Good weekend for TDKR if numbers hold!Ted and TASM doing well too...TR could have bombed harder.

[Ted OS thread]

It should break $450M WW but even $500M/$600M seem rather optimistic!

[UK Box Office Thread]

Ted £1.9, TDKR £1.3, only 28% down from last Friday, Wimpy impressive £0.6, Brave strong £0.25 in Scotland.

Some nice numbers there! Though TDKR's 28% drop figure looks so good because of the Olympic Opening Ceremony last Friday leading to a weaker Friday.

[UK Box Office Thread]

If Ted was big in Australia, it was highly likely it'd be big, if not bigger, in the UK.Not being a downer, but one need only look at The Hangover.

Indeed, the Australian and UK markets are fairly similar. We all expected Ted would be big in the UK but probably not quite this big!

[Ice Age: Continental Drift OS Thread ($624M)]

Bad if it cant outdo IA3.

I guess, we will see. It should be close.

[The Dark Knight Rises OS Discussion Thread/700M+ OS CLUB]

Give an example, the news of the release (date) of TDKR from yesterday afternoon has got nearly 8M tweets on Weibo.com, the biggest microblog site in China, in 24 hours. Only the release of Titanic 3D had topped that number if I remember right.

Wow, TDKR is going to be huge in China then!Weibo is like the Chinese version of Twitter right? As Twitter was/is banned in China.

[Thurs Numbers: TDKR 6.8M, ICE AGE 4 - $2M, WATCH - $1.3M]

Hope TDKR wins the weekend with an amazing number. B)Also, TASM chugged along very nicely this week, not dropping below $1M a day.

[The Dark Knight Rises OS Discussion Thread/700M+ OS CLUB]

Very impressed with OS run. Bodes well for reboot.

Good luck to the guy who reboots Batman now...

[Ted OS thread]

Why this movie is so successful as a comedy?

Simply because it is very funny indeed, unlike a lot of modern comedy films. It was hilarious so I am glad it is doing so well!

[Ice Age: Continental Drift OS Thread ($624M)]

It is just 530M now. And weekend gross already under 40M.

You say that as if it is a bad gross?

[UK Box Office Thread]

EDIT: Actually, it looks like it's opening officially today in all ODEON cinemas in Scotland. Weird.

Yes it opens in all cinemas today in Scotland (not just Odeon). Rather strange indeed, Scotland, NI...etc got IA4 and now Brave first, what happened to UK-wide release dates...

Thursday: Ted £1.3, £3.4 previews. Amazing. TDKR is performing extremely well, £1.168m, £36.5m tally.

Ted is rocking the UK Box-Office, amazing!TDKR is a rock too.

Ted or tdkr for the 3 day weekend?

I too think Ted, but it will be close.

No.6-10 at the UK box office are disgraceful.6 The Five-Year Engagement £75,134 £4,865,1747 Searching For Sugar Man £68,857 £68,8578 The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists £44,389 £16,446,3449 Carry On Jatta £36,760 £36,76010 Men In Black 3 £34,497 £21,839,375 £75,134 getting no.6? When was the last time it was this bad?I know the big films are on top, but come on.These weeks are missed opportunities for moderate budget films.

Yes, it is a very top heavy box office at the moment, can't remember it being like this in a long while.

[Unpopular movie opinions.]

I was bored to tears and quit halfway through. Allegedly, it gets better.

A bit better, still did not like it though. Need to watch some other Korean film now to give me hope for their films.

[Madagascar 3 OS Thread]

This has now crossed $300M OS, slowly creeping up and up.

[Ice Age: Continental Drift OS Thread ($624M)]

Sneaky rise OS to $530,286,861 - this film is going sky high!

[Wed (8/1/12) Numbers: TDKR $7.330, IA4 $2.16m, Watch $1.46m]

You realise how great TDKR actually is when you watch it a 2nd time. Hopefully will see it for a 3rd time this weekend.
