Yes, pretty horrid cinema. Been there for free previews a couple of times and escalators everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 MUs multiplier is massive from OW. Yes, 1D will be massive OD and OW and will hopefully be banished from cinemas soon after! MU is looking like at least a 10x multiplier from OW at this rate. Such a shame that Pacific Rim couldn't hold that well from that weekend Yes, pretty horrid cinema. Been there for free previews a couple of times and escalators everywhere! Doesn't help when none of the escalators are working either. Probably wouldn't have gone there if Jurassic Park hadn't been cancelled at the BFI due to a power surge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks about JP, saw it again recently - what a film and would be cool to see in 3D at the BFI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the BIG ONE for the phantom menace in 99 with the folks and Avatar on opening day as I missed my imax screening. I really want to check out the empire before I lose my student card next year as it looks really cool in there. Stuff like that can't be helped, but I can't complain about seeing we're the Millers as it rocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 MU opened just after DM2 which obviously hurt it, and during a prolonged heatwave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think animated films like AC did well because it was literally the only kids film during that period and then got a huge boost nearer to Christmas.

It's weekends flanmed out quickly but is staying power has been brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) The year so farMonthly admissions numbers (actual bums on seats) always arrive after a significant delay, and the ones for July were recently released: 14.32 million. Not only are they lower than the equivalent month for 2012 (15.52 million), but they're sufficiently behind to drag the running tally for the year below 2012 levels. The first seven months of 2013 have seen 96.77 million admissions, which compares with 96.96 million for 2012, so we are down 0.2% so far. That's a tiny margin, but disappointing when you consider that after one month, ie January, admissions this year were already 3.5 million ahead of 2012, a lead that's been eroded ever since. What's more, 2012 finished on a scorching streak that included the final Twilight movie, Skyfall and The Hobbit. This year we have The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which could surge far ahead of its predecessor, and another Hobbit film, but no Skyfall equivalent. To be fair, cinema admissions in 2012 were the second highest for a decade, as well as the third highest since 1971. A very week July is definitely to blame for the little dip in admissions vs. same time last year. But as the article stated, 2012 had highest admissions since 1971, which means the UK BO is still on fire, and not seeing a fall like many other European markets. No Skyfall though obviously means a big gap for this year compared to last. Edited August 28, 2013 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Skyfall not being with us this year is going to MASSIVELY skew the end of year results. Still can't believe how fucking big it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Wonder how Bond 24 will do. I'd say £75m is probably gonna happen, but I doubt it'll be able to repeat the £100m+. Everything was going for Bond that year, 50th anniversary, Olympics etc. 2015 will be SO huge, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I still thought 2013 admissions would finish higher than the amazing 2012 admission numbers though. 2012 had Euros and Olympics which led to a weak summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
