The film will be very strong on the week and the final numbers.
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, will be "la fête du cinéma". 3€5 one ticket.
One problem nevertheless, in the 2 week Monsters University will be coming.
UK is in fire since last year,no wonder it became the biggest european market ahead of France.
It's true ? In 2012 in France 204,26 million admissions, in UK 172,5 million admissions. The price a ticket isn't the same.
Despicable Me 2 will be on 799 theaters wednesday. The buzz is great for the moment. More than Despicable Me.
For Man of Steel, it's good, to compare at Superman Returns.
Not only. The people don't go to the cinema, because the sun is come. But also, this week it's the exams for young people.
The next week will be difficult for Star Trek because, Man of Steel is coming.
