I didn't even notice that

Was an amazing number for an r rated film. Especially back then. If u consider it was 4th biggest film released in 1992 and 3rd during the calendar year of 1992. It really puts it into context how big this was. Wows assuming it gets 15m will be lucky to be in the top 20.Also given the film I think one certain infamous scene would have given it the R18+ even if the ma15+ option was available.

I don't think those are Long Weekend numbers.

[Leyla]

Ah. CF will pass im3. Cf should make more than 40k this weekend which means it's done and dusted. Just cf might be outside the 20 when it does it

ah 

too bad then

 

 

Why?

$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

 

 This should mean 40m is still a possibility from here... 

good. but still disappointing comparing to AUJ 

 

 

great for Wolf btw! & lol i didnt know that Hangover is R 

[pieman]

The Hangover was MA in theatres.

[JJ-8]

Indeed. Hangover was only MA15+ which is how I've listed it. Yes there is an R18+ version too but only on DVD.

[JJ-8]

I don't think those are Long Weekend numbers.

Agreed. Those look like normal weekend #'s.

[Robertron]

I think they might be the long weekend numbers.

[JJ-8]

I think they might be the long weekend numbers.

 

they were reported on monday.  i am pretty sure unless they were extrapolating that these are the normal weekend #'s.  i'm not sure if we will get long weekend numbers anymore.

[Robertron]

For some reason I thought BOM/Screendaily used extrapolated numbers for long weekends in their reports.

It's strange the post 1990 average is roughly double the pre 1990 average.

[lab276]

The rise of the multiplex:

[JJ-8]

I'd imagine that once 2013 is added the # of digital screens will increase dramatically again.... possibly more than half the total screens.

 

I do wonder whether we will see that flatten out eventually though (I suspect that not all cinemas will convert in the end)

[DeeCee]

The digital screen count is only up to 2011.  I would suspect a large majority are digital now.
