Jonwo Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The Woman in Black won Friday grossing in dollars $1.4m while the Muppets was second with $731,000 according to THR. Think Muppets will win half-term week though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipJ2001 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Muppets was very good at my cinema yesterday after a quiet start on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Do you think that points to a strong week ahead then? What other films are you running that'll benefit from half term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 WIB was sold out when I went on Friday. After I left, I had a feeling it might win the weekend. The Muppets Saturday was probably much bigger though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 That looks good for WiB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I've just thought of something interesting in WiB's favour: when was the last 12A horror film that is supposedly scary? My sister claims to have almost pissed herself when she saw it on friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 It was SO scary. Scarier than Paranormal Activity. Don't see how it was rated a 12A... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Maybe i'll add it to my list of stuff to see tomorrow then. See if i'm impressed. Edited February 12, 2012 by Schumacher FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Interesting... The Muppets should be strong during half-term this week...but perhaps not meeting most people's expectations, including mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Fantastic for WIB, not sure what kind of OS run we will see from The Vow but opening in 4th in a major marketing isnt confidence boosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Muppets will do better business during next week being the only one of three family films, WIB did very well and not surprising considering it's a known title and it starred Daniel Radcliffe. Star Wars keep in mind was released a day earlier so The Vow could have beaten it Friday-Sunday, it'll do strong business on Valentine's Day.Next week is Ghost Rider Spirit of Vegeance and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, think WIB will repeat number 1 but it wouldn't surprise if The Muppets goes to number 1 next week.

SchumacherFTW Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I wonder how that $2.3m for TPM compares with it's opening day back in '99? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
