I think the trio meeting up with the now grown up Rosham from the first film would be a great way to end the franchise although they'd need find a way to make him interact with the trio as he didn't talk in the first film.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo did £4-5m seven day but that was an 18 rated thriller whereas Bourne is a 12A so it should be doing better. Brave is doing great although hard to gage its legs as it only has two weeks of holidays left, apart from Paranorman in September, it has no competition until October so a £20m finish is likely.

Bourne will be number 2 or 3 due to its seven day opening but I imagine it'll be fourth Fri-Sun due to Expendables 2.

This week is probably the biggest competition TDKR is going to get, but I reckon it'll still do £1.5-1.7m this weekend, it's on target to hit £50m or more. Its legs have been very good even against surprise hits like Ted.

£3.2m is good although Sunday must have been down.

I think it'll beat the $690m OS total but the WW will fall short due to the lackluster Domestic numbers,

Think Brave and Bourne were wise not to open this weekend although Brave has opened elsewhere in Scotland, Ireland and West End. Weekdays usually make up for weekends.

Ice Age 5 is bound to be greenlit although the low DOM gross for IA4 is a little worrying but the OS gross more than makes up for it.

Avatar's run at the BFI IMAX must have been on and off as they showed Alice in Wonderland and Tron there. But IIRC it was booked solid from December-March.

The Dark Knight Rises currently has the highest three day opening so £15-16m is doable for Skyfall to beat both Avengers and TDKR.

I'm unsure about The Hobbit, I expect a big OW over £15-16m and strong legs but its now a trilogy so I expect the final Hobbit film to do the best business. I think the next big openers will be Skyfall which I expect will match or even beat QoS OW.

I think Brave will do very well in the UK, Cars 1 and 2 was the only film to do less than £20m but Cars isn't universally loved, I'm not a fan but it's better than a lot of animated films released in the last few years.Ice Age's popularity OS is weird considering it's declining in the US, I imagine a fifth film will happen but it'll be the last one.It'll be interesting to see how Madagascar 3 does in October, normally animated films do quite well but it's got competition from Frankenweenie and Hotel Transylvania which could hurt it but I expect a £4m OW.

Ted's doing well with £1m a day grosses so far, I imagine it's performs better in the evening than it does in the day where I imagine kids film do better. Brave boding well for a big opening when its released wide in a week, considering it has no previews unlike Ice Age, £10m 7 day is very likely.

£17-18m by Sunday sounds about right, it has no competition until next Monday but I wonder if the Closing Ceremony will have an impact, clearly film distributors thought so hence why there's no major releases this weekend.Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days surprisenly is the highest entry of the three films so clearly a summer release, the first two films did okay so clearly its audience has grown thanks to the first two films and the books. I saw MM a few weeks back and it was mostly females and a few guys including myself, the film's actually done pretty well considering its subject matter and it was low budget so any money it has made in the UK is purely profit.

I think the uncut version of Taken is 18, I guess the cinema release was a 15.

I think if it's PG-13 in America, then it'll most likely be 12A over here but then again, some films that were rated PG-13 were 15 over here. The Hunger Games had to do minor cuts to get a 12A so it really depends on how violent it is. TBH, I'm not a fan of 12A anyway as I think some films like TDKR and Inception are not suitable for anyone under 10 but the content isn't hard enough to make it a 15.I'm glad in a way, we don't have a similar version to the R rating as I do not want little kids in 15 or 18 rated films.

I reckon it'll be a 12A, a 15 would be great but I reckon Taken 2 will be toned down slightly, the previous film was reedited to make it PG-13 and it was bigger in the US than any other country which had a smaller releases a few months earlier so £5m is realistic, if Johnny English Reborn can do almost £5m then Taken 2 certainly can.

Expendables I imagine £4-5m four days, it also had weekend previews for the last film so it may be slightly down.There's also The Wedding Video which is a British film with Rufus Hound and Robert Webb but I imagine it'll suffer against the three big releases.Keith Lemon, I think should do okay but it's not going to hit Inbetweeners numbers, Celebrity Juice is popular but Keith himself hasn't fared well in other shows. I'm thinking £2-3m OW I imagine the reviews will be mixed at best.

I think the UK opening will around £9-10m but it depends on how Bourne does which also has a 7 day opening. Bourne I'm thinking £6-7m seven day opening, it's hard to predict.

Very strong opening for Ted, think it'll around £3-5m for next weekend which is a big drop from the five day opening but excluding Wednesday and Thursday which did £3.4m is only a small drop from its £5.9m Friday-Sunday .Wimpy Kid did very well, don't think it was advertised at all and it dented Ice Age and The Lorax which has a very impressive total considering it only opened to 1.8m including previews and for Brave to open in the top 10 with only Scotland and Ireland is impressive, it's only slightly £57,000 behind what Ice Age made in its OW in those countries and Brave had a lot more competition in the kids movies department whereas IA had none.

I think its legs will tell where it falls, I reckon it'll match Hangover Part II or fall a little bit short. But £30m for an American comedy is still amazing, only The Hangover and Bridesmaids have done over £20m in the last few years but both have stellar legs,.

I think Brave should do very well in the UK, it's doing well in its early release in Scotland and Ireland and has a seven day opening in England and Wales. I think it'll easily beat Cars 2 total but fall short of Wall-E and Up.

With no competition next week apart from Step Up 4, I think Ted will have a good drop, even a 50-60% drop would mean £4.5-5m, I doubt it'll increase. £30m+ total is very likely at this possible, £40m would need stellar legs and given the upcoming competition, it's unlikely,

Its at $54m at the moment, it should easily do around $150m OS maybe $200m if legs are good. $300m OS isn't going to happen.

I imagine the next Wimpy Kid film will get a August release next year, the first two films had March releases and this is the first summer one although I imagine it'll be mid to late August to avoid competition from Turbo and Smurfs 2.
