Good hold and should be a goo weekend for TDKR!
-
I think that is too high, I can see maximum £30M if the OW is as big as expected.I say £40M for Ted. It will have nothing but legs.
Indeed, around £24M sounds reasonable at the moment. That would be around $37.3M which would beat The Hangover's gross and that would be impressive.I'd say mid £20s is a good bet right now though.
-
That would be very promising! I hope so.35M weekend is very likely at this moment.
-
I guess no midweek number this week...will have to wait for weekend OS gross probably now.Probably waiting until tomorrow so they can report $600m worldwide, since it will reach that number today. I don't think they reported anything for Monday and Tuesday overseas last week, did they?
EDIT: Just checked last week's posts and we did not have any update from the $88m opening until late Wednesday night when Hollywood Reporter said it was at $110m through Tuesday. So maybe we will get an update sometime late tonight.

And it has a good run with IA4 winding down and The Lorax won't be much competition. So Brave has a good family audience waiting.It helps the UK loves Pixar too!I wonder how this'll do in the UK.It opens on the 13th right after the olympics finishes and has a 7 day opening, in the middle of the summer holidays.PIXAR films are always very popular here. Some of them open hugely, some of them open quietly, but they all end up with good totals. I expect Brave will open well, but nothing spectacular.Tangled opened to £5.1m in 3 days. Brave gives me similar vibes and with a week-long opening, it'd be very surprising to see it fall below £7m at least.
-
Wow, amazing for Ted!Sure, Orange Wednesdays did help the OD gross but it is going to be a fantastic OW now. With holidays and great WOM this should definitely break the £20M mark.
-
Strange there are no weekday OS numbers coming in for one of the biggest films of 2012...
-
Still not as late as France!Brazil will get the movie in September.
Indeed it should and hopefully it will hit at least $35M with great WOM.Should do between $8-10m in it's 5 day UK opening.
-
Decent, nothing spectacular.Should still hit $450M+ hopefully.
-
UK, Germany and Russia open this week and this weekend's OS gross for Ted will give a good idea of what the film will end up grossing OS.The OS release has really been strung along though, France won't get Ted until October!
-
Just saw Ted, pretty busy tonight!It was very funny so will have great WOM and will be in for a big gross. The biggest/best comedy of Summer 2012 for sure!
-
Let's hope so. Just in time for a big August!Nice increases for most holdovers. Looks like movies are back in business.
-
Exactly!The 'steep' drops (they were not really) can be attributed to the Olympics starting on Friday and this weekend will see smaller drops.Why did you say this??? TDKR is a success OS, no doubts.
-
Oldboy was not a good film!(Yes, I said it).

Would be great to open that high and it could but I think lower around £5M/£6M with previews. Hopefully TDKR has a bigger 3rd weekend than £4M though I don't mind too much as it will be doing a lot of mid-week business with holidays started now.Might be being to optimistic lc6 high 7 with previews TDKR around 4m coming weekend
I can see Ted in the UK matching the Australian success for sure.Some perspective on the Australian opening of Ted converted to £. Thu-Sun is the normal 4 day weekend.Preview Weekend(28/6-1/7)Fri-Sun of limited screenings-£2.95m. 2nd place behind IA4's opening weekend.1st Weekend(5/7-8/7)Normal 4 day weekend-£5.87m. 1st place with TASM in 2nd on £3.65m2nd Weekend(12/7-15/7)Normal 4 day weekend-£4.49m. 1st place again.Ted is now at AUD31.181m or £20.9m
-
Hopefully it can do better in Japan and reach at least $35M as it is not really a superhero film. More of an event, epic film like Transformers.This is why it did better in Russia..etc.
-
And it is only $3M less in the UK due to the exchange rate. It is ahead in £ at this stage.Excepting 3 million in UK and 3.5 million in a depressed market like Spain, TDKR is outgrossing TDK everywhere
-
Indeed, even more impressive when you factor in Olympics. Shows how great TDKR is doing in the UK!By the way, it is the fastest grossing film of 2012.And that is with the Olympics hurting it over the last 3 days of the 10 day total. Pretty good overall.
-
TDKR has taken just 10 days to reach £30M whilst The Avengers took 12 days (with 3D!) and TDK took 15 days to reach the £30M mark.
-
Same!How is the hype in Japan with just over 2 weeks until release?I'm excited about The Avengers release there..Success or failure?
-
His career has fallen so far....Happy Gilmore to Jack and Jill.
-
Okay Monday I guess.Hopefully it sticks to copying POTC: DMC as then it will end up with around $450M and make enough OS to hit $1B comfortably!AND $300M today in 12 days!
-
True, I expect it to beat The Hangover. However I compared them as they are both original US comedies with a 15 rating.Due to Family Guy's Seth Macfarlane as well as Wahlberg/Kunis; I too expect a £4-5M opening with great legs due to good WOM. Though it could open higher!Hangover was an unknown quantity whereas Ted has Seth Macfarlane which will draw in fans of his work. A £5m opening would be on par with The Dictator.
-
Yep, we both agree that the exchange rate and especially the £-$ one can radically change grosses. :)Still sticking with $100M UK gross prediction for now.I know you wanted to say that. I only wanted to point as you well said, exchange rates did an enormous damage to movie grosses during 2001 (I'm thinking in HP1 and FOTR. Both should have been 1.1-1.2 billion grossers in 2001)
