Bridesmaids had a 2.1m OW and after an almost 13X multiplier, finished just over 27m.No way will Ted have those kinds of legs, but IF it were to, Ted would finish with over $56m - the third highest film of all time! (to be exact, it would tie Titanic with $56.7m)However, I'm pretty sure NOBODY will be disappointed with a finish, of well, it could stop right now and be classed as a success.. But $40m will be just fine

Yesterday was MASSIVELY busy (though I wasn't working, they tried to call me in!), with one of our busiest days of the year. Going to see what today is like in a few hours.

Funny you should say that..**Correction** Tuesday is my works biggest day IN ADMITS in the last 5 years.

RTH, just out of curiosity, what's the single biggest day in admits you've ever seen for one single site?

Wow. I think TED is the movie of the year in Australia...

Any ideas on how it will perform in the UK?

[A Marvel Fanboy]

I am thinking 40M in UK.

Why not more than AUS? Comedies that do VERY well here tend to make more in the UK..

[Robertron]

This weekend should be quite interesting.No new films are opening, and older films are being replaed by the addition of sessions for the newer films - this will be the perfect weekend for TED to churn out all the cash it can before Batman steals it's audience next weekend!

Even 50M in UK ? Also bigger than TASM there ?

Hysteria and Not Suitable for Children (and cocktail) are opening, but they won't make any dent as they are limited :POur biggest single day admits for our site is slightly over 10,000. Tuesday was our 2nd biggest in 3 years I think..Today was pretty busy too, Ted powering along!

[Heretic]

I really don't know about this one.Ted is putting up extraordinary numbers in Australia, which will now most likely be its biggest OS market.Honestly, I have no clue what it'll do...but I doubt it'll do more than it's doing in Aus. Maybe $30m or something. It opens right during the Olympics too.

The bear smoking the bong guaranteed my admission and probably half of Australia's 18-25 year olds.Ted is the definition of a good marketing campaign leading to huge BO numbers.

Ok that's what I meant - no new films that matter in the grand scheme of things!10,000!!!! HFS!!The busiest ive ever seen is Tuesday which was just under 4000 - but like I've said before, we are a very small site, and that is basically 85-90% capacity for the entire days sessions.(Our daily capacity used to be well over 8500 per day but then we had renovations and lost over 50% of seats. Older projectionists have said that "back in the day" we used to do 6-7000 some days - a number I simply can't comprehended.)

God damn Olympics ruining everything's chances!!

[DeeCee]

Rth, what impact did the Sydney Olympics have on the Australian box office? Urban Cinefile from the time suggests a 30-40% drop from normal business for that time of the year. Of course, it would also depend on the quality of films in release.
