Max Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 That's what I would have guessed as well. $35 million would be a very good result considering that Zootopia was released at a much later date in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Disney’s live-action remake scored a tremendous $14m (£9.9m) opening from its 590 sites, marking a huge $23,765 (£16,780) site average, with 30% of its gross coming from 3D screens and a further 8% ($1.1m/£800,000) coming from IMAX. Also for Disney, Zootropolis made it a one-two at the top of the chart, dropping a respectable 52% for a $1.6m (£1.13m) fourth weekend. The critically acclaimed animation now stands at $29.3m (£20.7m) Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice posted a further big drop in its fourth weekend with $1.4m (£988,000). Warner Bros’ epic battle now stands at $50m (£35.35m) and will still hope to catch Deadpool’s $53.3m (£37.62m) http://www.screendaily.com/news/the-jungle-book-dominates-uk-box-office/5102698.article?blocktitle=LATEST-FILM-NEWS-HEADLINES&contentID=44435 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Minion Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 A huge 888k admissions for The Jungle Book on DCM estate this weekend. Stands a great chance of topping Deadpool's 3.6m (2016's biggest).— Tom Linay (@TomLinay) 18 April 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Very nice for TJB, increase from estimate. It will easily dominate this upcoming week and weekend, I expect a drop under 40%, so it should be near £20m already by Sunday, on its way to £35m+ ($50m+) hopefully. Big drop for Zoo, it should stabalise now and leg it to £25m, which would be around $35m in total. Edited April 18, 2016 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This weekend is pretty dead in terms of competition so Jungle Book will continue to do well. Hard to believe that we're going to have 3 £30m+ films and it's not even the summer yet. The Huntsman had an ugly drop which isn't surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristis Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 If it had 888k admissions for $14M that would be an enormous 15,77$ ticket price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wezzo Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 The admissions numbers are for DCM only, which I believe covers around 80% of the market. So total admissions were likely well over 1m, avg ticket more like £9. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Tickets in the UK are insanely expensive, especially in London, where they are almost unaffordable. A normal adult ticket for a 2D show is £12-13 at most places here, and at places like Vue Westfield, which is probably the most popular cinema in the country, adult tickets can be more than £15 ($22+). Don't even get me started on 3D and IMAX. It's daylight robbery. But yeah, that's around 80% of admissions, so would be closer to 1.1m in total.

Thus far this year I've been to 58 screenings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I'll be seeing The Jungle Book again tomorrow then I was gonna watch JB today again but on IMAX, but decided to stay at home. You'll probably slaughter me by the end of the year, the first 2 months of the year I was working in the cinema and that's where most of my viewings were. Only watched like 8 films this month so far.

Heretic Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Talking of TJB, it looks like its doing huge business for weekdays when everybody is at work/school. There is literally no competition this weekend, it should have a very nice drop. I still haven't seen it. Too many deadlines right now.

Avatree Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Speaking of this weekend's releases, did anyone see Bastille Day? I thought it was fun & thrilling, I was impressed by its timeliness, plus it has Idris Elba and Foreign Downey Jr so nothing to complain about.
