So on par with AUJ OD... I would say that's neither good nor bad when trying to extrapolate for the weekend ahead.... Guess we'll just have to wait til Monday for numbers...

We won't get any official numbers until the 2nd. :(Thanks RTH for keeping us up to date.

[JJ-8]

So based upon that I'm thinking the weekend will probably end up in this order:1. DOS2. Frozen3. Anchorman 2?4. Mitty5. The Railway Man?Positions 3and 5 are guesses but I'd say that's where we r heading.

Little chance DoS can get to USD40m and probably even AUD40m with the current exchange rate and that opening.

[Dingdong123]

Is that 1.7m opening for Frozen any good? How does it compare to Wreck-it Ralph?

Way better.

The sequel, which dominated the box office with a 60% market share of the top 5 films, grossed an estimated $4.9M in U.S. dollars from 629 screens. It holds the distinction as the second-biggest Boxing Day opening of all time, finishing 7% behind The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

Frozen playing fantastically today, I'd expect a small decrease or even an increase today.Hobbit still very strong. Though I'm finished up at work now so I won't know the end result..

Why does deadline report $4.9m for DOS?

[JJ-8]

Quick Frozen Comparison 

 

I will do a full vs chart later on once we get some final numbers on the 2nd but .....

 

Wreck it Ralph vs Frozen

 

Opening Day (boxing day) : 1.42m vs 1.62m

 

but don't forget Frozen also has an additional 1m in previews to add to that total already putting it at least above 2.7m to date and that figure does not include christmas day takings which frozen was open for though i doubt that frozen took much during christmas day itself....

Why does deadline report $4.9m for DOS?

 

4.9m USD 

 

I'm reporting in AUD which is essentially 5.5m.

Wreck it Ralph also had previews I believe? Either way Frozen is smashing it!

[JJ-8]

Agreed. Unfortunately the weekend of 20th to 23rd where wreck it Ralph May have had previews was never reported.

[DeeCee]

We can deduce WIR. Cume of $8.62m - Boxing Day $1.16 - 1st week $6.2 = previews plus CD of $1.26m

[JJ-8]

Ok did some digging and found a report. Wreck it Ralph did 1.15m on Boxing Day in 3rd behind the hobbit and les miserables. That means we now have an apples for apples comparison:PV - 1m (excludes cd for now) vs 0.27mBoxing Day - 1.62m vs 1.15mSo frozen is well ahead so far.

[JJ-8]

We can deduce WIR. Cume of $8.62m - Boxing Day $1.16 - 1st week $6.2 = previews plus CD of $1.26m

If u r using urban the dates shown should represent from the 27th. (Check the hobbit - the 5.9m is shown outside its first week ).

[DeeCee]

Yes, the dates have to be wrong since the Boxing Day total for AUJ is shown in the cume total.

I'm thinking the hobbits dailies might go as follows:5.5343Ow of 15.5?

Gotta love urban for their accuracy at times. But then again still one of the better sources for our top 20 each week.
