Sadly It looks like the Secret Screening in Cineworld tonight won't be Deadpool. Looking more like it'll be Triple 9, runtime is 116 minutes on the site and that film is exactly that long. Plus is a 15 and comes out in in a couple of weeks.

I think they've already said the runtime is deliberately wrong on Twitter today. 

 

I'm 99% certain it'll be Deadpool

Eone are going to regret screening that tonight I think. 

Yeah, I can't see it going down particularly well with many people. It's not another Sicario.

 

Worse thing is that it felt like a straight-to-DVD movie, so not really going to be satisfactory for what Unlimited subscribers expect to see on the biggest screen.

Couldn't disagree more. There's definitely a master craftsman at the helm. The film looks great. It's a good movie with a quality ensemble. 

 

There were a few that walked out when it started as it wasn't Deadpool. Me? I can wait until Wednesday for that. I was delighted to see Hillcoat's latest two weeks early.

It really wasn't. John Hillcoat doesn't make bad movies. It's a solid genre movie that'll do nicely when it opens. 

each to their own. I love The Road but this was not that..

It wasn't The Road no. But it was a decent flick. It'll get decent reviews and people that like this genre will enjoy it I'm sure. 

I'd give it a B. 

I love the genre, hated this film. Your opinion is YOURS not anyone else's...

Dad's Army opens with estimated £2.1m in the UK, likely to be second behind Goosebumps due to previews.

 

Goosebumps spooks The Revenant to top UK box office with debut of around £2.6m, including previews.

£10m seems a bit high, that would be bigger than any X-Men film without 3D and a higher rating, £6-7m is more likely.

5 days though. Plus, although it may not seem like the type of movie that would do well on Valentine's day, I think it's gonna be a huge hit. There's no way it does only £6m. Pre-sales are looking very strong.

 

Tbh, from what I'm seeing,the hype for this is more than any X-Men film.

Universal’s Dad’s Army jointly leads Fri-Sun with $3m (£2.07m) from 585 sites.

 

Further distributor results to come…

SONY

Goosebumps ended The Revenant’s reign as the UK’s number one with a promising debut ahead of the school half term.

Sony’s family horror-comedy spooked up $3.9m (£2.7m), including just over $909,000 (£600,000) in previews, from its 510 sites for a $7,651 (£5,294) average. Based on Fri-Sun tallies, Goosebumps would have been neck-and-neck with Dad’s Army, also with $3m (£2.07m).

Jack Black’s previous collaboration with director Rob Letterman, Gulliver’s Travels, was just ahead ofGoosebumps with an opening Fri-Sun tally of $3.4m (£2.33m) when stripping out its extensive previews.

Gulliver’s Travels went on to take $22m (£15.23m) at the UK box office and with the upcoming school holiday,Goosebumps will hope to be able to challenge that tally if it can hold off the family competition.

Also for Sony, Hotel Transylvania 2 and The Lady In The Van stand at $29.5m and $18.3m (£12.7m), respectively, while The 5th Wave has taken just $1.4m (£955,000) after three weeks in play.

UNIVERSAL

It may not be an official chart topper, but Dad’s Armydid jointly lead the charge over Fri-Sun at the UK box office.

Universal’s big screen outing for the beloved sitcom posted a $3m (£2.07m) debut from its 585 sites, marking a $5,128 (£3,535) site average. It’s a solid start but a true measure of its success will be if it connects with the midweek older audience.

Comparisons are tricky given the age of the original sitcom. Most recent big screen comedy adaptations are from newer shows. For example, Dad’s Army came in far behind Mrs. Brown’s Boys D’Movie’s $6.2m (£4.3m) UK bow from 522 sites, but that would have attracted a younger audience.

The ‘grey pound’ contenders are probably a better indicator and the most successful one, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, posted a debut a little higher than Dad’s Army at $3.2m (£2.22m) from 504 sites.

Also for Universal, Ride Along 2 fell more than 50% in its third weekend to take $776,000 (£535,236) for $7.5m (£5.14m) to date, while The Danish Girl has amassed $10.3m (£7.07m) after six weeks in play.

FOX

The Revenant fell to third with a non-final $1.7m (£1.21m) fourth weekend.

Fox’s awards contender is up to a terrific $26.4m (£18.35m) and with likely award wins to come this month, there’s still a chance it could boost enough to topThe Wolf Of Wall Street’s $32.7m (£22.7m).

Stablemate The Martian is currently the highest grossing Best Picture hopeful with $33.9m (£23.5m).

Also for Fox, Snoopy And Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie will hope the upcoming half term can push it past £10m, after taking just $100,000 (£69,450) for $13.9m (£9.67m).

Joy and Bridge Of Spies have amassed $7.2m (£4.99m) and $11.2m (£7.79m), respectively.

LIONSGATE

Falling just 35% (excluding previews), Dirty Grandpaenjoyed a $1.4m (£944,369) second weekend at the UK box office.

Lionsgate’s comedy seems to be thriving despite the critical mauling and is now up to $5.3m (£3.66m). If it can continue the solid hold this coming weekend, Dirty Grandpa will look to challenge the $8.9m (£6.2m) result of director Dan Mazer’s debut I Give It A Year.

EONE

Having expanded to 379 sites nationwide, Spotlightposted a slim drop on its way to a $1.2m (£860,259) second weekend.

eOne’s awards contender is up to a ten-day tally of $3.8m (£2.64m) and will hope to continue its solid first mid-week performance, which saw it come second most days behind The Revenant but bank more than $1m (£700,000).

Also for eOne, Trumbo got off to an uninspiring start with $209,000 (£144,308) from its 92 sites for a $2,275 (£1,569) site average. It’ll need a strong midweek performance to retain as many sites this weekend.

DISNEY

Falling 44% in its eighth weekend, Disney’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens added $1.1m (£750,000) for a mammoth $175m (£120.7m) to date.

Also for Disney, The Good Dinosaur boosted 35% on its way to $261,000 (£180,000) for $20.4m (£14.1m).

PARAMOUNT

In its third weekend, Paramount’s The Big Short grossed a further $804,000 (£554,000) for $5.9m (£4.1m), and will hope for a notable BAFTA win this coming weekend to prolong its run.

Also for Paramount, Daddy’s Home took a further $364,000 (£251,000) for an excellent $24.2m (£16.7m), while Capture The Flag and 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi stand at $1.5m (£1m) and $632,000 (£436,000), respectively.

Ahead of its release this Friday [Feb 12], Zoolander 2banked $967,000 (£667,000) from previews on Saturday and Sunday. It is already on the cusp of overtaking the overall debut of its predecessor.

WARNER BROS

Action remake Point Break struggled to make an impact in a busy field with a $606,000 (£418,000) UK debut from its 365 sites through Warner Bros.

With the arrival of the likes of Zoolander 2 and Deadpool, it’ll likely suffer this coming weekend.

Also for Warner Bros, Creed has now punched its way to $8.2m (£5.68m) following a $244,000 (£168,000) fourth weekend.

SODA PICTURES

Iceland’s unsuccessful Oscar submission Rams recorded a $39,000 (£26,898) from its 20 sites through Soda Pictures.

DOGWOOF

Released in 13 sites through Dogwoof, music documentary Janis: Little Girl Blue posted a $24,000 (£16,375) UK bow.

UPCOMING RELEASES

This week sees saturation releases for Fox’s Deadpool(opens Feb 10), Lionsgate’s Pride And Prejudice And Zombies (opens Feb 11), Fox’s Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Road Chip, Sony’s Concussion and Paramount’s Zoolander 2.

StudioCanal’s A Bigger Splash, Icon’s Oddball And The Penguins and Universal’s Jem And The Holograms all receive wide releases.

eOne’s The Green Inferno, Picturehouse Entertainment’sMeru and Warner Bros’ The Iron Giant: Signature Edition are among the films receiving a limited release.

 

 

Good opening for Goosebumps, with half term next week £10m may be possible.

 

The Revenant is falling a bit harder than WoWS now. That had a 4th weekend of £1.6m for £17.8m, so The Revenant is hanging on by a thread. It'll probably end up right around £22-23m in the end, just like WoWS and The Martian.

 

SW passes £120m. Will get its last boost next week before it starts to disappear, so should end up near the £125m mark.
