It's a shame they opened Parasite so late. I absolutely loved the movie - definitely my favorite of the nominees and a deserved winner of BP. Would have been great if more people had the chance to see it before this weekend, but better late than never. I hope it will benefit from the well-deserved attention and continues making bank.

Parasite - £2.5 million weekend (£5,852 average from 430 cinemas).
133% increase after expansion and it’s also adding another 100 cinemas this coming weekend. 
 

When you take into account the sell-outs due to it not being able to play in multiple screens due to pre-existing deals movies like Sonic will have had - it’s a staggering number. Should hold very well all week and next weekend. 
 

Its screen average was down only 26% from when it was playing in less than a third of the amount of theatres last weekend. Amazing really. 
 

Total is at £5.1 million, already the third highest grossing film not in the English language ever in the U.K.  Has Crouching Tiger (£9.4 million) and Passion of the Christ (£11.1 million) firmly in its sights. 

 

Sonic opened big at no.1 with £4.7 million from 616 cinemas.

Surprised to see this opening to less than Dolittle. Still good. Dolittle fell -58%, unsurprisingly lol. 

Dolittle had previews the weekend before which were added to its total so the drop is more like 40%. 

 

Birds of Prey had a good drop with 37.5%,

The Top 5:


1 - Sonic  

2 - Dolittle
3 - Parasite
4 - Call of the Wild  
5 - Emma

Emma seems to be doing well considering it opened outside the top 5 last week. COTW I had a feeling wouldn't do great as it's not well known in the UK. 

 

Dolittle's success is proof that parents in the UK will bring their kids to any old crap to keep them entertained.

The Boy 2 is the best horror opening of the year here, how tragic is that lol. The Grudge, Underwater, The Turning all failed to even go top 10.

Delighted to see Emma and Parasite doing such solid business. Looks like Emma has opened below David Copperfield but is already well ahead.

 

The family group is just the standard unit for UK cinemagoers, isn't it. Dolittle isn't much of a surprise, just a disappointment.

 

Lion King getting to $100m when Infinity War didn't (even with some ER variance) is just a perfect encapsulation of the sheer churning mechanism of family cinemagoing over here.

TUESDAY'S TOP 5 TITLES: 
1 - RoyalOperaHouse 
2 - Emma
3 - Parasite
4 - 1917

5 - Sonic

TBF Emma was always going to more of a weekday film although it's no slouch on the weekend as I saw it on a Saturday and it was full.

No Time to Die opens in a month, how big is the hype? Similar to Skyfall or Spectre? There´s chance that this film reach those films?

I don't know why but I have the feeling that No Time to Die will have a big drop in uk in comparaison with Spectre and Skyfall, I think something like around $85M-$95M and I think this drop will not help this movie, my prediction is something around $700M-$750M worldwide
