It was always going to be successful but clearly it resonates with UK audiences which is no surprise really, only Bond, LOTR/Hobbit and Potter have done bigger numbers OW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Weekday business should be huge for Bridget Jones. Wouldn't surprise me if it made over £5m Mon-Thu. By Sunday I expect it'll be already at £17-18m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Bridget Jones will be nearing £30m already by Sunday, probably £28-29m, and will easily remain number 1. Could make a run for £40m, which would be an incredible result, but anything above £35m is much higher than most would have expected. Dory's strong legs continue, should end up in the £42-43m range. Not sure how this weeks openers will do, I don't expect too well, but Deepwater Horizon could post decent numbers, as it occupies IMAX screens.

Heretic Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Admissions update for this year: Quote Tom Linay @TomLinay Sep 20 August's admissions were 18.1m, up 26% from 2015 and August's box office was £134.1m, up 28% from 2015. Very impressive. Quote Tom Linay @TomLinay Sep 19 Year to date admissions are 113.8m, which is up 0.4% from 2015. That's a pretty great result. Surprising, but we've had a huge number of films top £30m this year. I imagine September will be well up on last year too, however as we get into November and December, admissions may start to trail due to a lack of Spectre and SW7. There will be big hits, but not monsters like these two films were (1st and 3rd biggest of all time).

James Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I hope the "From J.K. Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter" thing from the newest trailer will help with the hype of FB. That is, if there was anyone who did not know this takes place in the same universe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 October won't be as big as last year but there likely will be solid hits with The Girl on the Train, Inferno, Trolls and Doctor Strange. I think this year there hasn't been films dominating like last year but lots of £30m+ films and two £40m+ films Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I'll be curious to see how The Girl on the Train does, Gone Girl two years before did £4.3m for its four day opening with an 18 rating, I think The Girl on the Train probably will do £3-3.5m five days, maybe £4m at a push, it likely won't have the legs of GG as Inferno and Jack Reacher will eat into its audience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
