Heretic Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 It'd be around 45% from the 3 day, and 55% from 4 day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) So it has a chance to outgross the first? That would be awesome for a non-developing market. Edited July 16, 2015 by Darth Homer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndustriousAngel Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Very impressive. Amazing first third of the year! Yep, Germany + Austria are looking good too for 1st quarter - European BO is soaring this year with some hits still to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 DISNEY Having recorded the best-ever first seven days for Disney with $33.8m (£22.35m), Avengers: Age of Ultroncontinued its domination of the UK box office with a $13m (£8.6m) second weekend. Disney’s latest Marvel outing has now amassed a mighty $52.7m (£34.9m) as of Bank Holiday Monday [May 4] and will shortly overtake Iron Man 3’s $55.3m (£36.5m) result as the second highest grossing Marvel outing of all time. Avengers: Age of Ultron’s target is the $78.4m (£51.9m) performance of Marvel’s Avengers Assemble, which stood at $45.1m (£29.85m) at the end of its second weekend. Excluding Monday, Avengers: Age of Ultron had grossed $48.8m (£32.3m) at the same stage. Also for Disney, Cinderella has now waltzed to $29.6m (£19.6m) following a $1m (£673,751) sixth weekend. 2015 TOTALS Bolstered by the terrific run of Fast & Furious 7 and the record-breaking debut of Avengers: Age of Ultron, April saw takings of $172.7m (£114.1m) at the box office which is up 29.6% on April last year. Overall, January 1-April 30 saw takings of $633.4m (£418.8m), up 11.2% on the same period last year. FOX Far from the Madding Crowd was the week’s highest new entry with a $2.2m (£1.43m) bow from its 525 sites. Fox’s adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s classic novel added $602,000 (£397,984) on Monday to lift its gross to $2.8m (£1.8m) and looks well-set to prosper midweek due to its older-skewing audience. Also for Fox, Home rounded off this week’s top five with a $1.1m (£732,514) seventh weekend and an excellent running total of $33.5m (£22.1m). UNIVERSAL Matching its successful domestic bow, Unfriended logged into the UK box office with a strong $2m (£1.34m) debut from its 436 sites to chart third, enjoying the second strongest site average in the top ten in the process. Universal’s micro-budget horror is up to $2.6m (£1.7m) as of Monday and will hope that its healthy word-of-mouth and critical response will see it avoid the usual fast-burn nature of genre films at the box office. Also for Universal, Fast & Furious 7 held well in its sixth weekend with $1.7m (£1.1m) for a current running total of $55.8m (£36.87m). It will be overtaken by Avengers as the year’s highest grossing film, but still has an outside shot at £40m. EONE Two by Two floated to $853,000 (£564,000) from its 428 sites on its UK bow through eOne, rising to $1.2m (£785,000) as of Monday. Also for eOne, Child 44 posted a third weekend of $171,000 (£113,000) for $2m (£1.3m) to date, while The DUFF has reached $3m (£2m) after four weeks in play. ENTERTAINMENT Now in its fourth week of release, Entertainment’sWoman in Gold grossed an extra $356,000 (£235,668) over the four-day weekend to lift its tally to a solid $3.6m (£2.4m). PARAMOUNT The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water has now soaked up $11.9m (£7.85m) following a $307,000 (£203,000) sixth weekend through Paramount. METRODOME In its second weekend, Metrodome’s The Falling added $105,000 (£69,515) from its 55 sites and has now grossed $483,000 (£319,456) to date. CURZON FILM WORLD Force Majeure is edging towards to the £500k mark in the UK after taking a further $74,000 (£49,024) for $694,000 (£459,124) to date through Curzon Film World. Also for Curzon Film World, A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence posted a minimal drop on its way to a $45,000 (£29,591) second weekend for $143,000 (£94,876) so far. VERTIGO FILMS Monsters: Dark Continent got off to a soft start with a UK debut of $53,000 (£35,024), including previews, from its 101 sites. Vertigo Films’ sequel is up to $66,000 (£43,790) as of Monday, still well short of the $527,000 (£348,577) bow from 164 sites of Monsters. UPCOMING RELEASES This week sees saturation releases for Entertainment’sThe Age of Adaline, Paramount’s Top Five, Pinewood Pictures’ Spooks: The Greater Good (opens April 30) and eOne’s Big Game. Soda Pictures’ Phoenix receives a wide release, while Kaleidoscope’s A Funny Kind of Love, The Works’Rosewater and StudioCanal’s Girlhood are among the films receiving a limited release. http://www.screendaily.com/news/avengers-age-of-ultron-tops-52m-in-uk/5087347.article?blocktitle=LATEST-FILM-NEWS-HEADLINES&contentID=42422 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Looks like the weekend was underestimated. Including bank holiday, it made £11.2m for the 4 day weekend. Only a 38% drop. £50m is pretty much a done deal, it should be at minimum £42m by Sunday, TA for comparison was at £40m after the 3rd weekend. £55m is the target right now, which is around $83m. Great for FF7 too, should hit £40m (over $60m) in the end. Edited May 5, 2015 by Heretic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 It was pretty meh compared to the US. But both Cinderella and Home making over $30m obviously provided fierce competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Cinderella had fantastic legs and considering it opened after Home which had previews and 3D, the gap between them is pretty small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
