Impossible.

 

That'd require at least £25m, which would be the record.

 

$20-25m is more realistic.

 

 

The force awakens did U$50,6M on opening weekend. This is the record, right?

I think £13-14m for BvS sounds about right, I wouldn't be surprised if it does crack £15m though with £16-17m including Easter Monday. 

 

I seriously doubt MBFGW2 is going to do £4-5m OW, £2m OW seems more likely at best and even then I would be very surprised.

Quote

Paramount’s 10 Cloverfield Lane lands second with non-final $2.3m (£1.6m) from its 486 sites.

 

Further distributor results to come…

FOX

Despite a 43% drop (excluding previews), Kung Fu Panda 3 retained its grip on top spot at the UK box office.

Fox’s threequel chopped its way to an extra non-final $2.5m (£1.74m) for $10.2m (£7.1m) to date. Though direct competition arrives this week in the form of Disney’s Zootropolis, it should still prosper over the Easter school holidays.

However, it may struggle to match either Kung Fu Panda’s $29.2m (£20.29m) or Kung Fu Panda 2’s $24.3m (£16.87m) results in the UK. At the same stage, the sequel stood at $13.3m (£9.24m).

Also for Fox, Deadpool added $748,000 (£519,035) for an excellent $53m (£36.75m) after six weeks in play. It will shortly overtake Iron Man 3’s $53.3m (£37m) total as the fifth biggest superhero film of all time.

Kapoor And Sons launched with a non-final $271,000 (£187,745) from its 64 sites, while Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Road Chip took $179,000 (£124,073) for $22.9m (£15.87m) to date.

The Revenant stands at $33.2m (£23.02m) after ten weeks in play.

PARAMOUNT

10 Cloverfield Lane couldn’t quite match its impressive domestic opening as it charted second.

Paramount’s sort-of sequel landed with a non-final $2.3m (£1.6m) from its 486 sites, achieving a stronger site average than Kung Fu Panda 3 with around $4,800 (£3,300). It will hope its strong reviews and word-of-mouth can lead to a lengthy run.

Back in 2008, Cloverfield posted an impressive UK bow of $5m (£3.49m) from its 386 sites and went on to take $13.8m (£9.6m). 10 Cloverfield Lane faces a battle to come close to that number.

LIONSGATE

London Has Fallen remained in third as it posted the lowest drop of the top ten.

Lionsgate’s action sequel fell 41% as it enjoyed a $1.5m (£1.06m) third weekend for a healthy $12m (£8.33m) to date, and should easily hit £10m in the coming weeks.

Also for Lionsgate, Sing Street opened in Ireland with a non-final $239,000 (£165,657) debut, including $66,000 (£45,490) in previews, from its 93 sites. It opens in the rest of the UK on May 20.

EONE

The Divergent Series: Allegiant fell over 50% on its way to a $1.1m (£767,920) second weekend.

eOne’s continuation of the young adult franchise stands at $4.6m (£3.19m) after 11 days in play, and it now faces a struggle to avoid becoming the lowest-grossing outing of the series to date.

Divergent took $9.5m (£6.6m) and the sequel Insurgentgrossed $11.4m (£7.9m) on their respective runs.

UNIVERSAL

In its third weekend, Universal’s Hail, Caesar! added $572,000 (£397,077) for $5.9m (£4.12m) to date.

As expected, it is now the Coen Brothers’ fifth best UK performer, but it’ll need a boost to overtake their fourth best, currently Intolerable Cruelty, which scored a $9.5m (£6.62m) result.

Also for Universal, The Witch failed to keep audiences enchanted as it posted a hefty drop for $256,000 (£177,505) and a ten-day tally of $1.3m (£882,765).

SONY

Falling 58% in its fourth weekend, Sony’s Grimsby took $303,000 (£210,000) for $7m (£4.89m) to date.

Also for Sony, two new entries didn’t make much of an impression as Risen posted a UK bow of $84,000 (£58,000) from 163 sites, and Rock The Kasbah fared even worse with $5,500 (£3,800) from 83 sites.

CURZON ARTIFICIAL EYE

With some sites still to report, Curzon Artificial Eye’sAnomalisa grossed an extra $125,000 (£86,548) for $636,000 (£441,206) to date.

PICTUREHOUSE ENTERTAINMENT

Released in 33 sites through Picturehouse Entertainment,Marguerite posted a UK bow of $60,000 (£41,318).

VERTIGO RELEASING

In its second weekend, Vertigo Releasing’s Fifty Shades Of Black added $24,000 (£16,570) for a ten-day tally of $222,000 (£153,874).

UPCOMING RELEASES

This week sees saturation releases for Disney’sZootropolis, Warner Bros’ Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice and Universal’s My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2.

Soda Pictures’ Disorder, Dogwoof’s Speed Sisters and Vertigo Releasing’s Welcome To Me are among the films receiving a limited release.

 

Very quiet weekend. 

 

KFP3 will be hit hard by Zootropolis this week, will end significantly under previous installments. 

 

Deadpool continuing its amazing run, almost at £37m. It may be able to squeeze out another £3m with the boost of Easter holidays to hit £40m, but that depends on BvS.

What are people thinking for BvS OD/OW? Pre-sales are looking strong. Cineworld Sheffield, which is usually in the top 5 nationwide, has already sold out 4/6 midnight shows, and 4 other shows during the day.

 

Tomorrow is a bank holiday, and the start of school holidays, which means Friday should be a much bigger proportion of the weekend than normal, with a smaller increase on Saturday. Something like £5m Fri, £5.5m Sat, £4m Sun seems reasonable. That'd be £14.5m 3 day, and probably over £17m ($24m) 4 day with Easter Monday.

Unrelated, but, Bridget Jone's Baby will probably be one of the biggest films of the year, and likely make more here than it will in the US.

 

First made £42m and 2nd £36m, so somewhere between £30-40m again wouldn't surprise me.

We've got no sell outs tonight here in Crawley, not even my IMAX double bill. Tomorrow has 2 in 4DX though.

BvS is looking CRAZY busy this afternoon, seeing lots of sold out shows. Schools and work are off, so understandable.I don't see it falling below £5m ($7m) OD.
