This is breaking out huge, £10m would be incredible, especially given that is a 3 day figure without any previews at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Kung Fu Panda 3 and Midnight Special screenings cancelled all day here. Short sighted cinema had 12 screens at its disposal and only handed 3 to the Jungle Book. Safe to say they've been caught off guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 The fact this is opening on par with AiW's £10.6m (maybe a tad lower) is crazy. Despite quite a mediocre reception, it had great legs and topped £42m. TJB should pass £30m for sure, maybe £35m, but the arrival of Civil War, and a competition heavy May will likely result in it missing £40m. Will be fun to track.

Heretic Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Quote Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 19m19 minutes ago The Jungle Book opens with a terrific estimated £9.6m in the UK. Around $13.6m. Hopefully this can hit $50m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone expected to do almost £10m the week after the Easter holidays. After Deadpool, this has smashed all expectations. Will be interesting if we have another surprise smash in the summer. I think The BFG might do very well here and perhaps Suicide Squad.

Heretic Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Suicide Squad definitely. It'll have a huge opening, and then it depends on WOM. It does have all of August to capatalise on aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 If BFG breaks out is that a big surprise though? It's one of the more beloved Dahl stories, so I'd be shocked with it making anything less than £20m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Civil war will do 60 dollars or more 80 million. Either way massive jump from CA2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think £20-25m is likely but it's not got the easiest slot sandwiched between Ghostbusters, Ice Age and opening the same week as Star Trek with Dory a week later.

Dory could win the summer. I wonder if it can repeat the success of TS3 back in 2010. Maybe not £70m like that made, but I could see it passing £50m if everything goes right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 That's a very impressive start for The Jungle Book. I would say it will certainly hit $40 million in the end. Oh no... the UK Box office of Zootopia already reaching $29.5 million... equaling French BO... (sigh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wished Zootopia was more successful in my country than in the UK but it is a just childish and trivial. I am actually delighted that Zootopia is huge success and I already hope (probably like you) for a sequel! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 $35m is the target now. If The Jungle Book hadn't arrived, and wasn't so huge, it would have had a chance. Still, a good result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
