SH2 will beat the first film total, Mission Impossible has done well as well. War Horse should hit £20m with ease.
-
I don't mind Adam Sandler but Jack and Jill looks awful.
-
My German friend loved it, I think it should get at least a limited release, foreign films are a hard sell to an English audience unless they are mainstream, I do want to see Intouchables though.
-
That week is incredibly busy with Star Wars 3D, The Muppets as well as ELAIC. It'll be top five at least. Journey 2 comes out next week and I reckon that'll be number 1 or 2, can't see Jack and Jill or Chronicle doing that great.
-
I'm surprised Puss in Boots and KFP2 got nominated over both Tintin and Arthur Christmas, AC IMO should got nominated over PIB.
-
The Descendants should do well, the fact it has already won awards should make it appealing to audiences plus it has George Clooney.
-
Ghost Rider is being released by EOne in the UK rather than Sony, Is it a local distributor for Skyfall and The Hobbit or MGM?They probably sold the rights for good money.In Portugal, for example, Ghost Rider 2, The Vow and 007 Skyfall won't be released by Sony.And The Hobbit won't be released by Warner Bros!
-
The OS gross all but gurantees a third film, pretty incredible considering its Domestic performance, in the UK its on course to beat the first film's total.
-
It should do okay in the UK, they did a wise move of having it on February 3rd rather than February 10th where it would have faced The Muppets.I know they'll be getting my money for certain. Looks like loads of fun. I see about £3/5m total for the UK.
-
I think War Horse will be number 1 again this week and perhaps next week unless The Descendants breaks out although I think TD will do decent business especially as it's winning awards.
-
Paramount will have made less money from Tintin compared to Sony since Paramount only has English Speaking territories and Asia while Sony had the rest but I imagine both studios will greenlit, if Paramount did drop out which i doubt, then I imagine Sony would take on full worldwide distribution, IIRC Paramount did offer to take on full distribution in exchange for Spielberg and Jackson dropping or lowering their gross participation which they refused hence why another studio was needed.
-
Odd that Tintin got nominated in both Best Animated Feature and Best Visual Effects, I think it's going to be a close call between it and Arthur Christmas, the BAFTA voters may be biased as it's Aardman.
-
Tintin will get a Best Animated Feature NodGeorge Clooney will get Best Actor Nod for The DescendantsGary Oldman will get Best Actor Nod for Tinker Tailor Soldier SpyArthur Christmas will get Best Animated Feature Nod.
-
Sherlock Holmes should at least match the first film's total by next week, it's done incredible business as have Mission Impossible which will total at £17-18m which is higher than the third film. TGWTDT is doing good, should hit £10m by tomorrow or Wednesday and £12m total.Half term should be interesting, not as many family films compared to last year.
-
War Horse was always going to do well, should be number 1 next week as well, there's no real competition until The Muppets in February,
-
According to Charles Gant, it did £996k Friday so it will have a strong weekend. Depends how it does day but a £3-4m OW would be very good.
-
I agree The Muppets will be big, the nostalgia factor is much bigger here than it is in America and it has no similar competition apart from Journey 2 and the CGI film A Monster in Paris which I assume is an English dub of a French film.
-
MIGP will outgross MI3 either this weekend or sometime next week, think the next film will have a summer release.January is a very good period for holdovers and films that are more aimed at an older audience. Next week is very busy with J Edgar, Coriolanus, Underworld Awakening, W.E and Haywire, have only really seen ads for J Edgar and Coriolanus, none for W.E and Underworld. If WoM for War Horse is good, then it could easily be number 1 again.February will be interesting, the big releases there are The Muppets, Journey 2, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vegeance, Star Wars Episode I 3D and This Means War.
-
I reckon £2-3m for War Horse. Its a difficult one to predict. To have 3 £2m in January is very good. MI is on its way to £20m
-
£600k for The Artist is very good considering it's still in limited run, the budget is fairly low at $15m, it'll be great if it cracks £1m next week but it depends on how it fares against War Horse.Mission Impossible had a great drop, £20m may be in play.
-
Very good for The Iron Lady, it wasn't going to do TKS numbers, any numbers for The Artist?Estimated £2.2m for The Iron Lady
-
I saw it when I was in America and its good but the subject matter will be unknown to most UK audiences but I don't think it'll be a complete flop. If it gets Top 10 that's good, it'll be hard for it to break into the top five against Haywire and Underworld.
-
The Iron Lady should do well but its not going to have the same legs as TKS, War Horse opens the week after. The week after that has Haywire, Underworld Awakening and J Edgar, I've already seen advertising for the last one on buses.The Artist has a staggered release but I do want to see it and it'll be interesting how it does because its not an easy sell as its black and white and silent.good start for Iron Lady here tonight :)it's actually opened bigger than The King's Speech did but i doubt it will have anywhere near the staying power.
-
Iron Lady will be top three at least, January doesn't have that much in the way of big films unlike last year, could see War Horse topping the charts in a week or so.I still think The Muppets when it opens in February will be a hit, it launches before half term and in terms of competition, there's only Journey 2 and Star Wars Episode I 3D the latter should do okay but not big business. I'm going to cautionous and predict a £3-4m OW for Muppets with great legs but I'll be happily surprise if it does over £5m like Johnny English did.

The first film did £25.9m total so AGoS will outgross within the next few days.A Monster in Paris should do better at half term, only other kiddy competition during that week is The Muppets and Journey 2.Has This Means War been pushed as it says it's been released on March 2nd with previews on Valentine's Day? Seems odd to have previews and not show it for two weeks unless Fox has cocked up the marketing.
