The Dark Alfred Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Will be an interesting weekend. AM2 OD was around £1m. Expecting a lower opening than Fallout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Wonder if Mamma Mia was still #1 for the 3 day. Mission Impossible down to #4 on Thursday, that was fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnokesLegs Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I honestly think Disney messed up by not releasing Ant Man & The Wasp at the same time as the US. Not everyone in the country is glued to the World Cup and it’d have likely opened higher than it has ($6.5 million) if it didn’t have a month of “it’s fine” WOM spreading from the rest of the world, it took away the must see nature of it. Coming off of Infinity War, AM&TW should have opened bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipickthiswhiterose Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) I won't be so naive as to think that when AM & TW's release was delayed for the UK they didn't realise that they'd be dealing at least partially with a Mamma Mia juggernaut that simply won't exist in any other major market. But I do think they may have miscallibrated the demographic of Mamma Mia's audience in the UK and written it off as mostly older females who aren't really going to cross over into the potential Demo for AM & TW. Which isn't entirely untrue in terms of MM seeing plenty of that demo in the theatres, but I do think it massively underestimates how popular Abba and this movie is with the standard cinema going audience in general. Families, Couples, young people are all right in the firing line for it, and I really don't see how AM & TW wouldn't have been far better keeping the in-World Cup date and risking it rather than head into this storm. Heck, it hasn't just affected the AM & TW box office - it's even affecting the MI box office.

Mission Impossible down to #4 on Thursday, that was fast. Deadline has it at number 1 with a 40% drop which is higher than last week's but still good considering the glorious weather. Ant-Man will be number 1 thanks to the Thursday opening. 35 minutes ago, SnokesLegs said: I honestly think Disney messed up by not releasing Ant Man & The Wasp at the same time as the US.

Coming off of Infinity War, AM&TW should have opened bigger. I think Disney wanted to protect Incredibles 2 which is doing stonking business and will likely hit £50-55m by the end of the summer. Ant-Man 1 wasn't that successful in the UK hence Disney's reasoning. It's still a decent opening In regards to Mamma Mia! it has done amazing business but I think Incredibles 2 is also a factor because it's more adult skewing compared to the average kids film so it's going to affect the more male skewing titles like AMATW and MI. I think MM! will manage another week at number 1 unless The Meg surprises but I'm not expecting more than £2-3m tops. I wouldn't be shocked if Christopher Robin ends up being the film that dethrones MM! Edited August 5, 2018 by Jonwo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my theatre, I went to watch MM2 for round 3 last night, and it was busier than last saturday evening (not even joking). MM2 also has more scheduled times than Meg at my theatre.
