Fun Size had an awful opening especially when you consider that it had a 7 day release. Silent Hill did good but I imagine HT was ahead when previews are stripped out. Madagascar should hit £20m soon which is another successful animated film. Unless it gets good reviews, I imagine £15-16m is the ceiling for Rise of the Guardians. Rust and Bone did good to crack the top ten too. This week is the release of Argo and The Sapphires which have both got heavy marketing so top five for both.
-
Skyfall's weekdays will drop from last week but I imagine it'll easily do £2-3m at best, Argo might dent it slightly but I can see a £8-9m third weekend, BD2 will probably affect it the most.Madagascar 3 has done great and HT hasn't done too badly either, there's no competition until ROTG so they'll chug along nicely.
-
Skyfall is doing phenomenal business, I imagine the next two Bond films won't perform as well but still gross a lot of money, I wonder if the 50th birthday is having an effect in a way,
-
That's good, Halloween must of had a small impact. For weekdays to have made over £4m a day is amazing and with only IMAX. October is probably the biggest month for films outside of summer and Christmas. November apart from Twilight and Rise of the Guardians isnt looking great for new films although I think Argo will be a small hit.Skyfall should have a good drop, £10m would be fine but I wouldn't be surprised if it is slightly higher.
-
I'm thinking high £4m for tomorrow, am slightly surprised Tuesday was down on Monday but I guess some cinemas have their cheap Tuesdays which lower grosses slightly, Orange Wednesday might have the same effect as selling out a screen but only half are paying. I'm surprised there aren't restrictions for Orange Wednesdays for films like Skyfall but I guess the studio must get something out of it.
-
Cinemas do schedule things like opera but it usually scheduled well in advance and because its live, it can't be rescheduled or cancelled for a film. It does do well, IIRC Phantom of the Opera at the Albert Hall did £700,000 and that was only released on one day.
-
I expect this weekend it will have a small drop, there's nothing big opening and Silent Hill and Fun Size will flop. Halloweens on Wednesday so there could be some impact but I imagine it'll be minimal.
-
QoS benefited from no direct competition for a good few weeks due to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince being delayed from November to July.We all expected Skyfall to do very well but £20.2m is just brilliant considering it only had IMAX.
-
Sundays tend not to have the extremely late showings which will have a knock on effect but I expect evenings will be busy.
-
Its been out two weeks with the previews so £700,000 is pretty good especially for a Friday where kids would be in school.
-
Bond is pretty much the only big British film franchise now that Harry Potter has finished. There have been successful British films this year like The Woman in Black, War Horse and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel but last year was a great year for British films with Potter, The King's Speech, The Inbetweeners, Johnny English Reborn etc. I hope that the upcoming Richard Curtis film About Time is good and successful but I doubt it'll hit the heights of Four Weddings, Notting Hill, Love Actually, Bridget Jones etc
-
I think hot weather dented it on its first weekend but the lack of similar competition helped and the WOM was decent. The fact it opened to half of Prometheus' OW and still come close in total was a surprise.
-
The Hobbit probably will get £10-13m four day opening and have great legs, I remember Avatar did £7-8m for its four day opening and that was good but it had tremedous legs. Any film that does 5-10 times their OW for their total is a success, we saw that with Arthur Christmas which did £2.11m and ended grossing over £20m, same with MIB3.
-
I think with films like Skyfall or Twilight, prebooking is advisable, I personally try and get to a film early to secure my ticket and have a back up just in case.

I suspect it'll be released October 31st in the UK, Ireland and selected countries and November 14th in the US which weirdly is the same release date as QoS. -
Skyfall is really good and I expect it may have repeat business which is unusual for a Bond film. It'll dominate as there's no competition until Twilight.The Hobbit should do well but December this year is looking decent with Life of Pi and Jack Reacher, shame Les Miserables isn't out until January but that'll do well especially if it lives up to the hype.
-
Think the sellouts will mostly be from late afternoon to evening on Friday, Bond doesn't have the rabid fanbase that Potter and Twilight have so the morning and afternoon screenings will likely be busier than normal but not sellouts.Sony missed a trick not doing midnight screenings at 0.07am but won't affect the box office.
-
Skyfall has three weeks to itself before Breaking Dawn part 2 opens. It should be up to £30m by its second weekend.
-
The Cineworld in Glasgow is 18 Screens, I've been and its huge although the AMC Empire in NY has 25 screens. Not sure what the biggest cinema in terms of screen, might be Cineworld Sheffield.
-
HT held up okay, should be able to do £10m with half term coming up. Frankenweenie did terrible as did PA4.
-
£20m seems a bit high considering its only being released in IMAX and no 3D, maybe DH1 numbers rather than DH2 numbers.

Ice Age: Continental Drift OS Thread ($624M)
Jonwo replied to Fake's topic in International Box Office
The OS gross has made up for its underwhelming performance in the US but $863m is not to be sniffed at. -
Cloudy was well received although it did wrap up nicely so it'll be a interesting how the sequel does, I'm expecting $35-40m for its OW at least, it might beat HT's OW but I wonder if The Little Mermaid 3D and the Star Wars Episode II and III 3D will eat into its audience.
-
Taken doesn't really have similar competition and PA4 underperforming has helped as well but Skyfall will hurt most films, the kids film may be able to withstand it a bit.
-
Would mean it did £3m excluding previews which is good but it should have good legs. Wonder how HT and Frankenweenie did.
