Heretic Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Yup. Hobbit 2 could do it, but I don't see anything else having a chance. Catching Fire should be very big though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Yup. Hobbit 2 could do it, but I don't see anything else having a chance. Catching Fire should be very big though. Yeah, one of those may do it but can't really see it to be honest. Hobbit 2 may decrease even I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Universal’s sci-fi debuts at number one with $4.8m (£3.13m), including previews; Warner Bros’ We’re The Millers grosses $2.9m (£1.85m) over the four-day weekend to chart second. Neill Blomkamp’s highly anticipated Elysium has debuted top of the UK box office. Sony’s sci-fi soared to a $4.8m (£3.13m) debut from its 465 sites, which included $1.5m (£975,000) in previews. It tops Blomkamp previous feature, District 9, which opened with $3.5m (£2.3m) from 447 sites, although it’s worth noting that was without any previews. Comparing just Fri-Sun, District 9 is a shade ahead ofElysium’s $3.3m (£2.15m) Fri-Sun result. Blomkamp’s second feature added a further $720,000 (£464,000) yesterday [Aug 26], so it has taken $5.6m (£3.59m) to date. District 9’s $14m (£9m) UK result is the target. Also for Sony, Grown Ups 2 is up to $10.2m (£6.6m) after adding $1.1m (£678,000) over Fri-Sun and an additional $248,000 (£160,000) on Monday. The Smurfs 2 has crossed the £10m mark and stands at $15.7m (£10.1m) following a $846,000 (£546,000) weekend and $197,000 (£127,000) on Monday.WARNER BROSDespite having to settle for second place, We’re The Millers got off to a solid start in the UK. Warner Bros’ comedy took $2.9m (£1.85m) from its 423 sites at an average of $6,780 (£4,374) over the four-day Bank Holiday weekend. That result is, however, behind director Rawson Marshall Thurber’s Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story which recorded a UK bow of $3.4m (£2.2m) in 2004, including $564,000 (£363,253) in previews, on its way to $15.6m (£10.03m). Also for Warner Bros, The Conjuring scared up an additional $901,000 (£581,000) over the four-day weekend and is up to $14.6m (£9.42m).UNIVERSALFalling a hefty 59% in its second weekend, Universal’sKick-Ass 2 added $951,000 (£613,000) for $6.8m (£4.37m) to date. The sequel is now likely to fall some way short of its predecessor’s $18m (£11.6m) UK performance. Meanwhile, 2013’s biggest hit to date Despicable Me 2 is up to $68.3m (£44m) following a $878,000 (£566,000) ninth weekend, dropping just 26% week-on-week. Further studio results to come Good weekend for openers. DM2 continues its impressive run to $70m.
