Heretic Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) BFG is looking very busy today, way busier than Star Trek actually. Perhaps it's going to break out. Edited July 22, 2016 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's Pets doing this weekend? Still on track for 32-33m pounds total by end of run or are we seeing a drop/spike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still has a lot of showtimes so they must still be expecting good business. Weather has been good this week and this weekend looks hot too so drops may be bigger than expected, but I'd say its still on track for that figure, unless it randomly fizzles out.

Looks like The BFG is going to do better in the UK than the US although not surprising as Dahl is more revered here than other countries and eOne marketed it really well.

I'll agree about the Dahl effect, but not on the marketing, it felt really off to me. Surprised it broke out though. Shame it couldn't happen like this to Fantastic Mr Fox, that's the best film based on Dahl's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Dory will put a dent in BFG's run next week, but I'd say it has a good chance at £20m now with 6 weeks of school holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipJ2001 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Any figures for BFG? We're having a really good weekend with it, somewhere between Zootropolis and Jungle Book for us. If that translates nationwide it should be about 6 or 7 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) That would be an incredible start, I'm not expecting more than £5m, which would already be way bigger than I expected. Edited July 24, 2016 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Quote Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 47m47 minutes ago The Secret Life of Pets adds estimated £1m for £27.8m after five weeks in play in the UK. So another £2.1m added over the past 7 days. All children are on summer break now, so this week it should play well, until Friday when Dory arrives. I'd say it can manage a fair few more million to reach the low 30s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Looks like The BFG dented Pets and Dory will likely dent it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
