Heretic Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Not likely. Maybe £17m, but I don't see it getting very much higher than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 So I guess in USD, 30M is the limit.Not even close to what I was hoping for initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 from what i've heard Rowan Atkinson is bored of acting. He basically just does a film when he's a bit short on cashWhat!.. An actor who only work for the money??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Arthur Christmas is the theme for the Christmas lights this year in London. Good advertising... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hmm, might have to take back that comment about Immortals flopping...it seems to be doing pretty well around my area tonight. Shows are surprisingly quite full. It may even be a possibility it wins the weekend.The Rum Diary looks like it's doing decently too.

SchumacherFTW Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Sorry Heretic, but Rum Diary's not likely to go far, unless it pulls a four lions out of it's arse. Definitely seems like a calm before the storm this weekend, BD sales in my area are big, not as big as NM or Eclipse, but bigger than anything else this year Sans Potter.

Maybe it's just my cinema...Yeah, BD sales are very strong. I expect a similar opening to the previous Twilight's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a similar opening to the previous Twilight's.I'd say around the same number as new moon, which constitutes a slight attendance drop, but still strong.

Jonwo Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Arthur Christmas should do decently, the reviews have been great and it'll have strong legs nearer to Christmas. Immortals should do okay but I think AC has the edge.Breaking Dawn should do well but its legs will be similar to previous Twilight films, it should be number 1 for two weeks until Happy Feet Two and Hugo are released.Johnny English may get another film but ultimately it is up to Atkinson.

Jonwo Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Doesn't surprise that Immortals beat AC on Friday as its not the sort of film that appeals to the Friday crowd. As I've said, I expect AC will have good legs being the only new animated film and it has no competition until December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incepted Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 AC has been getting promoted quite heavily. Expect big numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 You know, I actually think Breaking Dawn Part 1 could open bigger than Eclipse...It has a showing every freaking 30 minutes, from 9 freaking am to midnight, some double showtimes in the night and a show starting at 12:30am...I don't remember the others having anywhere near that.

Jonwo Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Eclipse had previews the weekend before its release which inflated its figures, still did good and BD part 1 will do better given it has no real competition until HF2 and Hugo and even then I expect it'll have at least £11-12m OW. Looking ahead, the big Christmas films will be Sherlock Holmes A Game of Shadows, the previous film did £25m total which is incredible considering it faced Avatar, Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo and Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 although I think with competition from HF2, Hugo, Puss in Boots as well as Arthur Christmas, I think Alvin may be less business.Hugo has promoted quite heavily, it does look good but it has some serious competition in the family film department.
