no i feel like it's not as big a deal in the UK idk just one of those things. i'm sure it did ok but not one of those must sees for every kid in the 90s. like how literally nobody has seen A Christmas Story here.

 

A shit ton of movies are like that. Big in America and only in America. 

 

Its mostly old comedies. I don’t understand the American obsession with Bill Murray at all.

Lmao. $10 bucks says they "borrowed" that 12k from I2, which dropped a tad on the harsh side on Thu.

Unethical of Disney to steal money from a film with big heart like Christopher Robin! It needs every penny it can by the looks of it.

Took a quick look I was able to find the next Marry Poppins llc (that movie has an impressively big budget, really good sign) and Nutcracker (a big one) but not Christopher Robin.

What are the numbers for the other ones?

[eddyxx]

Did BP ever get a dollar theater expansion? Do they even do those anymore? Is it too much to hope for a labor day expansion for IW or are they just gonna give that to Incredibles2?

[Brainbug]

Just got back from Mission Impossible. The action tops Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation easily, the pacing doesnt. A great film overall but the 3D SUCKED (for everyone that doesnt know, here in Germany were basically forced to watch it in 3D).

Also highest grosser ive never seen is still Avatar lol.

[POTUS 2020]

Now thats a movie theater. too cool

BOM says it grossed 18m in the uk. That should be pretty good considering it only had a 18m budget.

Falsified data no doubt

Caddyshack is a real head scratcher. It's just 90 minutes of mediocre riffing on a golf course.

My detective intuition tell me that a company named Cherry Tree Lane productions limited using UK Disney address 

 

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09950815/filing-history

 

Is the llc created to hold Marry Poppins expense / tax credit

Still in progress but has of june 2017 they had spent almost 100m pound (98.515), about 130m USD and already got 19.5m pound in tax credit. Photography wrapped in July.

 

Nutcrackers is :

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10029281/filing-history

 

66m pound, 82m USD in january 2017.

Bro, a half dozen comments every day beating this drum for five or six months in a row is getting so tiresome. 

Phew, this comment amuses me so many ways...since you only have 5 posts, have you really silently followed for the last 5-6 months?  If so, you need to speak up more.  Plus, I'd be impressed if I made 1000 comments about subscription services the last 6 months - that would be probably all the posts I've made over that period - and I know I'm a broken record, but not one that gets watched that closely to follow all those posts:)...And, finally, "Bro?"...you did read my image when you read all my posts, right?:)

I hope the Friday is under $31k so it can still stay at 699m on its 169th day. Then have it hit 700 on day 170. Beautiful.
