Jonwo Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 More impressive as Turbo had three days of previews and opened early in Scotland while CP had one day of previews. Will be interested how Cloudy 2 fared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCS Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 WOW, huge OW for Captain Phillips. Only expected just over £2M for it. Turbo OW pretty meh as it includes previews and no competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Films Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Great openings for all 3 in my view My Turbo prediction was spot-on. CP was 600k lower and Escape Plan was 300k lower. Really Impressed with all three. Saw Turbo on Thursday and I'm doing a double bill of Ender's Game and Captain Philips next Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Turbo was against Cloudy 2 preview which would have dented the gross somewhat, considering The Croods opened to over £5m, £4m with previews and early Scottish release isn't great, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Turbo meh? Turbo only did $82m in Usa... For the UK, after a strong year for animation, yes Turbo OW is not that great when you factor in previews and limited competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Films Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Turbo tops UK box office21 OCTOBER, 2013 | BY IAN SANDWELLFox’s animation takes top spot with $6.3m (£3.9m), including previews; Captain Phillips wins Fri-Sun weekend, charting second overall with $5.6m (£3.48m) for Sony’s biggest opening of 2013.After the lowest-grossing weekend last week, the UK box office kicked back into gear this week with Turbo speeding to the top spot, thanks to its previews last week.Fox’s animation posted a $6.3m (£3.9m) debut from its 528 sites, including $2.9m (£1.8m) in previews. Based solely on its Fri-Sun gross of $3.4m (£2.1m), it would have charted second.In terms of DreamWorks Animations (DWA) outings in the UK, Turbo is behind 2013’s other release, The Croods, which clubbed $8.7m (£5.4m) from its 521 sites, including $3m (£1.9m) in previews, on its way to an excellent $42.4m (£26.2m).Overall, Turbo ranks as the ninth best DWA opening, ahead of Chicken Run ($6.2m/£3.8m from 455) but behind Monsters Vs Aliens ($7m/£4.3m from 520).Also for Fox, Enough Said recorded a $243,000 (£150,541) debut from its 79 sites, resulting in director Nicole Holofcener’s best-ever UK opening, surpassing Friends with Money’s $154,000 (£95,092) bow from 51 sites.Runner Runner and Baggage Claim stand at $4.2m (£2.6m) and $561,000 (£347,432), respectively.SONYOfficially charting second but winning the Fri-Sun weekend with $4.9m (£3m), LFF opener Captain Phillips is off to an excellent start in the UK.Including $760,000 (£470,000) from Wednesday previews, Paul Greengrass’ hijack thriller recorded an overall debut of $5.6m (£3.48m) from its 536 sites. That marks Sony’s biggest opening of 2013, ahead of The Smurfs 2’s $4.9m (£3.2m) bow which included $2.7m (£1.8m) in previews.In terms of Greengrass’ directorial outings, Captain Phillips is his second biggest behind The Bourne Ultimatum’s $10.6m (£6.6m) debut, including $2m (£1.24m) in previews.With strong word-of-mouth and an older-skewing audience, Captain Phillips is also likely to post healthy midweek numbers and enjoy a fruitful run.EONECompleting an all-new top three was eOne’s Escape Plan, which recorded a decent debut of $1.5m (£958,092) from its 362 sites.That’s a solid average of $4,277 (£2,647), and is a debut ahead of both recent solo outings for Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger: Bullet to the Head ($694,000/£429,317 from 298) and The Last Stand ($871,000/£538,867 from 356).It’s also director Mikael Håfström’s second biggest UK bow, narrowly behind 1408’s $1.7m (£1.1m) from 406 sites.The UK’s reigning champion for the past three weeks, Prisoners might have fallen from first but has crossed the £6m mark in its fourth week.eOne’s drama took a further $921,000 (£569,608) from its 420 sites for an excellent $10m (£6.16m) tally to date.Also for eOne, The Fifth Estate fell heavily in its second week to gross $191,000 (£118,338) for a ten-day total of $1.4m (£874,902), while Insidious: Chapter 2 has now scared up $11.5m (£7.1m).WARNER BROSCrossing £4m in its fourth week, Warner Bros’ Blue Jasmine fell to seventh as it grossed $587,000 (£362,989).Woody Allen’s latest outing – and his best UK performer – is now up to $6.6m (£4.1m) and could well hit the £5m mark, having added around $1.3m (£800,000) in the past seven days.LIONSGATENow in its third week of nationwide release (fourth in Scotland), Lionsgate’s Filth crossed the £3m mark after a $553,000 (£342,000) weekend.Jon S. Baird’s adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s novel has now amassed $5.3m (£3.28m) in the UK, a more than healthy return for a tricky, adult-orientated sell.Also for Lionsgate, Machete Kills unsurprisingly fell heavily to post a $33,000 (£20,287) second weekend for a ten-day total of $482,000 (£298,071).CURZON FILM WORLDIn its second week of release, Curzon Film World’s Le Week-end fell by around a third to gross $334,000 (£206,424) from its 136 sites.Roger Michell’s latest has now taken $1.2m (£765,276) in the UK and has surpassed Enduring Love’s UK result of $1.1m (£710,054).UNIVERSALMinion fever seems to have finally slowed as 2013’s biggest hit Despicable Me 2 dropped 48% in its 17th week, adding $126,000 (£78,000) for $75.7m (£46.81m) through Universal.Meanwhile, Richard Curtis’ alleged directorial swansong About Time stands at $12m (£7.44m) following a $116,000 (£72,000) seventh weekend.ARROW FILMSReleased in 11 sites through Arrow Films, Cannes jury prize winner Like Father, Like Son posted a non-final $21,800 (£13,481) debut.That’s behind the debut of director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s last UK outing, I Wish, which opened with $33,000 (£20,463) from seven sites earlier this year.UPCOMING RELEASESIn one of the busiest release windows this year, this week sees saturation releases for Paramount’s Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (opens Oct 23), Sony’s Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, eOne’s Ender’s Game, Universal’s Closed Circuit and Entertainment’s One Chance.Artificial Eye’s The Selfish Giant and Empire’s The Reef 2: High Tide both receive wide releases, while Arrow’s The Taste of Money and Dogwoof’s Muscle Shoals are among the films receiving a limited release.

Jonwo Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 £3m for Captain Phillips for Friday-Sunday is impressive, I imagine Cloudy 2 will be number 1 next week unless Jackass, One Chance and Ender's Game overperforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Half term starts this weekend so Cloudy should do well (Probably over £3m with previews), and Turbo should also hold well. Captain Phillips will probably have another weekend above £2m. Don't think any of the other openers will do over £2m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Very curious to see how badly Ender's Game is going to tank. It should give us a good indication of things to come in America and in the rest of OS markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Just realised thor 2 opens during half term, and on orange Wednesday. Gonna be a big one. Thor 1 opened on a Wednesday as well but it had a Easter Monday preview and it did £5.5m for its opening weekend plus previews, I'm thinking £8-8.5m five days, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
