  1. That's insane! Could make £5m during weekdays alone. I think this is heading for the $35-40m range.
  2. That's a brillaint drop for Ralph. Under 20%.
  3. It was either gonna break out..or bomb. Looks like it's the latter.
  4. Excellent weekend. Les Mis has had a fantastic run... Should finish over £42m then.WIR must be over £10m already. With the holidays, it'll definitely get past £20m.Nice for Die Hard too. Will have a 4-day opening near £5m. That's not actually that bad for TI40. Thought it would bomb.
  5. I expect with that number then it'll do over £4m for the weekend. That fantastic. Should be a massive half term for it.
  6. That's actually pretty good for Die Hard... Should do near £4.5m 4-day.And isn't that an increase on last Friday for Wreck it Ralph?
  7. Can not wait to get mine on Monday. It's been too long.
  8. Wonder how Beautiful Creatures will do. Opens today and aims at the Twilight crowd...over the 5 day it could get over £2m easily. Has the potential to do much more though...or bomb completely.
  9. £19.2m. The exchange rate has really fallen over the past month. Only 1.56 now when it was over 1.62 not too long ago. Not good news when converting onto dollar.
  10. And no way F6 does $70m. $50m maybe. But you'd probably call that a bomb too...
  11. LOL at Firedeep. How's it not good? Please explain since you are obviously such an expert.
  12. Les Mis will pass $60m soon, although it loses Imax this week. Should end in the low $60ms. An excellent run.Pretty good for I Give It A Year, with Valentine's day and holidays next week, it should do $8-10m.Great for Django. Looks to finish around $25m.Life of Pi still chugging along, will end around $47m, and Lincoln is doing very well. Mid teens finish.As for this week, Die Hard opens. I expect a drop, but over the 5 day period it should manage £4-5m. WIR will likely still win the 3 day though with a very soft drop.
  13. Screendaily article:Following four straight weeks as the UK’s champion, Universal’s Les Misérables has been ousted by Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph, which debuted with a strong $7.1m (£4.5m) to take the top spot.The 3D animation set in the world of arcade games led throughout the weekend, and its $7.1m (£4.5m) debut compares favourably to recent Walt Disney Animation Studios efforts. Its opening is a touch behind that of Tangled ($8m/£5.1m), which went on to take a healthy $32.2m (£20.5m), but almost double that of The Princess and the Frog ($3.5m/£2.2m) and almost topped the entire UK run of Meet The Robinsons ($7.5m/£4.8m).Bolt debuted with $8.6m (£5.4m) in 2009, yet it’s worth noting that $4.1m (£2.6m) of that came from previews.Despite falling a place to second, Universal’s Les Misérables - which led the BAFTA field with four wins - can still be pleased with an estimated $2.7m (£1.7m) fifth weekend to push it up to $53.3m (£33.5m) in the UK.Tom Hooper’s ambitious adaptation of the much-loved musical has now fallen far behind Mamma Mia’s pace in the UK, which stood at $61.6m (£39.2m) at the same stage in its run and still had five weekends of over £1m in the tank.Les Misérables will need encores if it’s to dethrone Mamma Mia as the UK’s biggest grossing musical at $107.7m (£68.5m).The week’s second highest new entry belonged to StudioCanal’s I Give It A Year which delivered an impressive debut to chart third in a crowded field.Dan Mazer’s directorial debut laughed its way to a non-final $2.4m (£1.5m) from 397 sites and is now set for a strong first week thanks to positive reviews and Valentine’s Day falling on Thursday.In terms of recent romantic comedies, I Give It A Year topped the openings of the likes of The Five-Year Engagement ($1.7m/£1.1m from 457) and What To Expect When You’re Expecting ($1m/£661,617 from 416), as well as already surpassing the entire UK run of the recent British effort The Wedding Video ($1.7m/£1.1m).Falling two places to fourth was Sony’s Django Unchained which dropped a respectable 36% in its fourth week on its way to $1.7m (£1.1m).Quentin Tarantino’s latest opus - which scooped two BAFTAs last night - is now up to $19.5m (£12.4m) in the UK, narrowly behind Pulp Fiction’s $19.9m (£12.7m) haul which Django Unchained will overtake this week to become Tarantino’s highest UK grosser.Rounding off this week’s top five was Paramount’s Flight, which coasted to a $1.5m (£950,000) second weekend for a ten-day tally of $5.1m (£3.2m).Debuting just outside in sixth was eOne’s Warm Bodies with a solid, if unspectacular, opening of around $1.4m (£890,000) from its 319 sites. That being said, it does mark director Jonathan Levine’s best-ever UK debut, almost doubling the result of his previous strongest 50/50, which recorded a $644,000 (£410,251) debut albeit from less sites (228).Fox’s awards contenders Life of Pi and Lincoln have now grossed $44.1m (£28.1m) and $9.3m (£5.9m), respectively, in the UK. Life of Pi scooped two BAFTAs last night, while Lincoln won just the one for Daniel Day-Lewis from ten nominations.Meanwhile, Fox’s Hitchcock opened with a $955,000 (£608,835) debut from its 407 sites to chart eighth.This week sees saturation releases for Entertainment’s Beautiful Creatures (opens Feb 13), Fox’s A Good Day to Die Hard (opens Feb 14) and Universal’s This Is 40 (opens Feb 14). Warner Bros’ Sammy’s Adventures 2 receives a wide release following previews this past weekend, while Axiom’s Side By Side and Ball Park’s Run For Your Wife (opens Feb 14) are among the films receiving a limited release.
  14. That's an excellent opening. With half term next week, it should have a soft drop under 30%, and I wouldn't put £20m out of reach.
  15. Wouldn't be surprised if it increased 100% today. Next weekend it could stay flat or even increase a little.
  16. Don't imagine it'd open higher than £1m. The market is quite saturated at the moment.
  17. Yeah, $60m+ is definitely doable for Catching Fire. The Hunger Games has more appeal than Twilight.
  18. Hobbit, Monsters University, Les Mis may get in there as it's heading for near £40m. Iron Man 3, possibly Catching Fire and maybe Star Trek 2. A few other contenders aswell...
  19. This year there's a lot of big hits, but lack of any monster hits like Skyfall, DH2, TS3 etc. Should work out fine though.
  20. Hangover, Star Trek and F&F all have $50m potential. Will be a huge period.
