    The Master will do decent but not big numbers, Madagascar 3 and Taken 2 have had great runs so far although Madagascar will probably be hit by Rise of the Guardians in a few weeks. Next week has three mid-sized releases with Gambit and Silver Linings Playbook opening midweek and Nativity 2 although I think the latter will flop, did the first one even do well?

    I think £15m is likely which is a small increase from BD1, will be a major weekend for cinemas with this and Skyfall's continued success.Thinking ahead, I wonder if Catching Fire will double THG OW given its opening in the November slot previously held by Potter and Twilight.

    The Hobbit is the next film which I expect will do big business, probably not Skyfall numbers but I expect it will match Fellowship of the Ring's OW.
  4. Jonwo
    It would be the first $1bn 2D film since DMC in 2006 but I agree with BD2 and The Hobbit, its unlikely but it has overperformed, not bad for a 50 year old film franchise.

    Was The Wizard of Oz a flop, I thought it did good but found its audiences through television.Dumbo I think was a hit but it had a much smaller budget compared to Snow White, Pinocchio and Fantasia,

    It'll depend on how it does next weekend, I think £4-5m is likely as it'll lose screens to BD2 and IMAX as well. Any predictions for Breaking Dawn part II, part I did £13.9m so I think £15m is likely although it could be higher.

    The success of Skyfall will no doubt boost MGM a as will The Hobbit which they are co-producing plus smaller successes like 21 Jump Street. Kind of hard believe it was danger of not happening due to the MGM situation.

    Intouchables/Untouchable was a real European phenomenon not only in France but in Germany and Italy as well, the closest thing in the UK would be films like The Full Monty or The King's Speech.

    Skyfall has exceeded all expectations, the streak will end next week with Breaking Dawn part II but I think it'll do £4-5m minimum which for any film in its fourth weekend is incredible especially if BD2 does £15m or more.

    A Christmas Carol had excellent 3D, I find CGI films tend to have better 3D compared to live action although TASM and Tron Legacy used it effectively.The best 3D conversion would weirdly be Beauty and the Beast, the ballroom scene was done very well, still hoping that Aladdin and Tarzan get converted into 3D soon.

    Think that might be scheduled for November 2015 hence why Snoopy and BOO moved/

    Jurassic Park was huge when it released, £47m then would be like £70-80m now especially when you consider inflation and price increases. Wish there was a list for attendance as that would give a better picture.

    I think Sony is trying to scare DWA and FOX into moving B.O.O again, it'll be interesting who moves first as the late September date is usually Sony's for animated films whereas DWA tends to be November but with FOX releasing Snoopy in November, they've had to compromise.
  14. Jonwo
    Excellent Friday for Skyfall, would be nice to crack $100m but I'm sure Sony and MGM will be more than happy for a $88-95m OW, I imagine after a rocky few years MGM will have two megahits from Bond and The Hobbit although Sony and WB will reap more of the rewards.

    I reckon Mumbai Musical will be moved back to 2016 and BOO moved to mid to late October, HT getting a sequel is not surprising although what'll be about I don't know. Sony seems to expanding their animated slate with the next three Septembers with Cloudy 2, Popeye and HT2 plus The Smurfs 2 and 3 in Summer 2013 and 2015, wonder if we'll see another SPA film whether it be a hybrid or an Aardman film in 2014,
  16. Jonwo
    Odd release date for B.O.O, maybe the success of HT has prompted Dreamworks to move it to an earlier date and to avoid hurting Snoopy in November.
  17. Jonwo
    I don't think WIR needs a sequel, i think it'd be fine as shorts, I wouldn't be surprised if Big Hero 6 or if it happens Aladdin 3D has a Wreck it Ralph short. The Toy Story Toons shorts were a great way to continue using the Toy Story characters,

    Although The Hobbit's grosses will mostly be in 2013, It'll be two films with British source material in the top three grossing films of 2012. 2011 was a great year with 3 British films grossing over £40m but 2012 hasn't done too badly with Skyfall, The Woman in Black, War Horse and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel doing near or over £20m,
  19. Jonwo
    Is Breaking Dawn part II taking over from Skyfall at OLS? The number is more astounding considering DH2 had 3D so attendance wise, it is doing better,
  20. Jonwo
    What it did Argo on Wednesday? I think it'll have legs but £100k isn't great for a Thursday but it's a tough sell and I imagine it's only have a few screentimes compared to Skyfall. How is the Sapphires doing?
  21. Jonwo
    Skyfall's weekday are still pretty solid, I expect a £7-8m this weekend and maybe £2-2.5m five days for Argo, how did it do today?
  22. Jonwo
    I went to see Argo and it was busy with lots of older people, I think it may do quite well despite competition from Skyfall.
  23. Jonwo
    It'll be around £2m+ which is very good for a normal Monday.
  24. Jonwo
    Its possible some schools may have had a inset day but I guess it would vary from school to school.I think £2m is likely for today.
  25. Jonwo
    Skyfall will likely still have 1-2 screens, I imagine it'll have a good weekend but the attention will all be on BD2.
