thanks for reminding us that school holidays are last week of July, captain obvious. no one in the UK box office thread would have possibly known this.

Clearly I wasn’t obvious enough for you.

 

I’ll dumb it down and provide you with a simple reason next time.

He might have put it there to inform non-UK members who visit the UK thread.

Exactly, thank you!

JW had a very good hold in the UK, down only 34% Friday-Saturday for $9.4m weekend, up to $33.8m. It has a pretty free run until The Incredibles 2 on July 13th. 

Given World Cup started and weather hasn't been terrible, that's fantastic!

 

Might decrease a bit next weekend due to Ocean's 8 having a massive marketing push in UK. Although may not effect weekend, but more weekdays since it releases tomorrow. 

 

Officially it'll be number 1, since I'm pretty sure it'll be clumped into a dodgy 7 day opening

Father's Day likely helped a lot! the five day drop is decent as well.

 I imagine Ocean's 8 will be £4-5m for a week, enough to get to number 1.

Maybe about £40m (around $55m) 

Which is still great but a huge drop from JW.

 

Incredibles 2's OW will be interesting, I reckon it can crack £10m even with the WC final and Skyscraper as competition.

Personal anecdote, I don't give a rat's ass about football and the WC. That's why I'm going to see I2 opening day with a bunch of friends, and will likely see it again the day after too.

 

However I'm biased since I absolutely love Disney and Pixar :P

WC final is on a Sunday evening anyway so won't have much of an impact on I2. Should be huge over summer, wouldn't be surprised with £50m. 

The only family competition it has is HT3 which I think will do average business, Teen Titans Go which won't make a dent and Christopher Robin and the latter's not out until mid August.

For this year 2018 it's seems like the highest grossing movie of this year in the UK is IW, but do other movies like Mama Mia 2 or FB 2 have a chance at dethroning IW?

FB2 is a straight no. Mamma Mia would have to outsell the first one which seems incredibly unlikely. If it could match  it though - then yes Mamma Mia would beat IW.

 

Far too early to say what film will win the year though... Mary Poppins comes out in the final week of the year.

First time in a while it's only been on a single screen everywhere, probably due to Oceans 8. I'll let ya know what it is ;)

at my usual cineworld st neots (6 screens) fair enough... but even like Stevenage with 16 screens or whatever it has, only one showing. just a bit weird when they are always super popular.

 

On the other hand I also noticed Sicario next week so booked that one in.
