I wonder how Last Night in Soho will do this weekend with its 18 rating? I imagine it will do quite well in London.

So yeah it would be £4.53M of NTTD vs. Dune's FSS of £4.47M, really close and actuals could go either way in terms of number one

Went to see Venom 2, Ron's Gone Wrong and Halloween Kills yesterday and the film that was the most sold out for me was Ron's Gone Wrong, granted it was a Saturday at 4pm so it was peak time, but I thought it was quite impressive that it had sold so many tickets. Halloween Kills was the second most sold out, but I did see it in a medium sized screen and Venom 2 was about 75% sold in a bigger screen than both of those. This weekend has got to be one of the biggest of the pandemic era so far with bond and Venom looking to bring in £15M+ together and RGW and HK probably around £5M+ together. Only real disappointment for the weekend is probably going to be The Last Duel.

Yeah, The Last Duel is getting just 3 screenings a day at my regular. Seems it has been forgotten about, I'm not surprised to be honest. Halloween Kills, Ron's Gone Wrong and Venom 2 are definitely safer bets this upcoming weekend. That's the one problem with a crowded market, some film is bound to be missed out.

The 12-screener I go to has this - The 5-screener near me hasn't even bothered with The Last Duel, Halloween Kills is on late night showings. With the addition of Dune it's just No Time to Die. The Addams Family (1 show), Venom 2, Halloween Kills (1 show). Honsla Rakh (1 show), Ron's Gone Wrong and Dune all with 3 or 4 showings unless otherwise stated. This is going to be a very interesting weekend...

8 - 10 October 2021 - Screen Daily Numbers 1. No Time to Die - £15,200,000 (-27.6%) / £52,600,000 / Week 2 2. The Addams Family 2 - £2,000,000 / Week 1 3.

I think it could end up around £85-90M ($116 - $122.9M with current exchange rates), I think we'll have a better idea when we see how it holds up against competition next weekend seeing as we have a film for everyone opening next weekend with Venom 2, Halloween Kills, The Last Duel AND Ron's Gone Wrong. Also worth noting, if it does reach even the low end of that prediction it's looking at 4.04x multiplier from its true FSS which is impressive for such a large opener especially during a Pandemic.

So we are at £52.2M total with $70.9M. If £37.3M Thursday total is correct, that's £14.9M second weekend or a 29% drop from last week's true FSS.
