Too bad AUD dropped pretty hard in last 2 months.

[lab276]

GG is now on track for a total well north of 15m.  Frankly 20m isn't out  of the question which is frankly astonishing!

20m is most definitely in the question, it's 2.7m ahead of Gravity through the same point and Gravity made it to over 21m. Edited October 13, 2014 by lab276

[JJ-8]

If it pull another hold like that next wk. Gone Girl will be over 16m. I'm not see big competition either. See how it follows up but another hold like that and 25m+ is in the realm. Either way gone girl could figure in the top 10 films for 2014.

[DeeCee]

Gone Girl should win again this weekend with $3-3.5m.

Weekend - 16th - 19th October 2014

 

Gone Girl has continued it's domination down under with another stellar hold.  Dipping only 24% from last weekend, Gone Girl has managed a total of over 16m in only 3 weeks which is astonishing for a film that only opened with 4.6m.  20m looks a sure bet now, with a total north of 25m now a likely position.  As crazy as this might sound, but if Gone Girl can continue hold up as it has so far in the coming few weeks, we could be talking 30m+ total and the #1 film for 2014 (at least until a little Mockingjay flutters it's wings in about a months time.)  - I however don't think this will happen as while Gone Girl has some breathing room currently, it faces Fury next weekend and while i don't see a lot of breakout material the following weekend, 3 weekends time, Interstellar will rock the charts and any film still progressing at that point will take a hit.  

 

The biggest opener of the weekend was Walk among the Tombstones which opened with a so-so 1.1m.  Tammy disappointed right behind that with an opening just under 1.1m.  the 2 holdovers, Annabelle and The Judge rounded out the top 5.

Apologies if the formatting pushes the table off the edge......

 

Gone Girl is the addition here and it does appear it has a chance of making into the top 5 at the moment.

Weekend - 23rd - 26th October 2014

 

Fury managed to rustle up 2.6m over it's opening weekend.  A middling opening for this film here.  It toppled the 4 week old Gone Girl.  Gone Girl finally took the bridesmaids position with a still strong 30% dip to 2.2m and a 19.3m running total.  Gone Girl has continued to flourish with a lack of competition.  As noted last weekend, GG is on it's way to a total above 25m and is a threat to make it into the top 5 films of 2014 (possibly not a good thing and really depicts a real lack of big films this year to date.  Though we are all are hoping that one of Interstellar and/or Mockingjay can turn it around next month. Tammy dipped an average 40% from an even more average opening.  Tammy has made barely past 2m and well below what would have been hoped here.  The disappointing Walk among the Tombstones held down 5th place also barely scraping past the 2m mark. 

 

Of note, Happy New Year opened in 6th place with an impressive 380k from 30 screens (12.7k).  Lastly, Guardian's of the Galaxy finally exited the top 20 after 12 weeks.  Guardian's has now amassed a total of 26.6m and it will no doubt finish with 26.7m in the end.

Top Films of 2014 - Showdown

 

Guardian's of the Galaxy has now exited the top 20.  It has 26.64m to it's name to date and is sitting in 3rd place just behind Transformers: Age of Extinction.  There is still a chance that Guardian's makes it into second place but will remain short of The Lego Movie which continues to sit out in front with 29.8m.

 

Gone Girl is continuing to charge up the chart.  Compared to the Wolf of Wall Street, it now leads that film by 1m at the same point and earnt 200k more over the same weekend.  This indicates that Gone Girl should easily surpasse that films total of 23.3m.  The next film however is a little trickier.  How to Train your dragon 2 was up to 22.9m off a 2.7m weekend.  However, it collapsed the coming weekend meaning Gone Girl should begin to close the gap of 2.6m.  There is a good chance that Gone Girl can make it but the current target does appear to be around 25m.

I just realised it's November and we're still yet to see a single $30m+ film.... Yikes.

I think the overall box office is slightly ahead of last year though, or if not than pretty close behind so it's not too bad.

Almost another weekend at #1 for Gone Girl.

[JJ-8]

I just realised it's November and we're still yet to see a single $30m+ film.... Yikes.

 

well here's the rub.. we've actually had 2 films pass 30m this year.. (the fact that neither film was released this year is beside the point).

A 5th weekend at 1.7m is damn impressive for any film!

How did Interstellar Thursday go?
