Heretic Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Decent for Cloudy, should have a strong half term week. Excellent for Captain Phillips. Should ease past $20m, possibly hitting $25m. Good opening for Jackass too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Expected It is a sign of "great" things to come in America and the rest of OS markets. GRAVITY & GRNDPA will still rule US box office next weekend, it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 ony’s sequel records $5.9m (£3.66m) debut, including previews, to dethrone Fox’s Turbo; Captain Phillips tops Fri-Sun weekend for second consecutive week with $3m (£2.44m). Figures from other distributors still to come… Somewhat appropriately given last night’s storm, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 has debuted top of the UK box office. Sony’s animated sequel scored a $5.9m (£3.66m) debut, including $2.5m (£1.55m) in previews, to dethrone Turbo. That’s a debut over double its predecessor’s $2.6m (£1.6m) UK bow, and almost half its overall UK run of $10.5m (£6.5m) already. With half term in full swing and as long as the weather holds off, there’s every chance Cloudy 2 will have surpassed that tally before next weekend. Cloudy 2’s debut also marks Sony’s best opening of 2013, but Captain Phillips holds the distributor’s highest Fri-Sun performance with $4.9m (£3m). Marking a Sony one-two combo at the top of the UK chart, Captain Phillips posted an excellent hold, dropping just 19% for $3m (£2.44m). As with last week, Paul Greengrass’ thriller led the Fri-Sun weekend, ahead of Cloudy 2’s $3.4m (£2.1m), and stands at an impressive $12.8m (£7.9m) having added $7.2m (£4.2m) over the past seven days. In terms of Greengrass films in the UK, Captain Phillips is now only behind the director’s two Bourne outings and has a great chance of surpassing The Bourne Supremacy’s $18.7m (£11.6m). The Bourne Ultimatum’s $38.9m (£24m) is likely to prove a step too far though. PARAMOUNTCharting third on debut, Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpais off to a strong start in the UK with a non-final bow of $3.1m (£1.94m) from its 372 sites. The opening includes $884,000 (£546,000) in previews, and marks the biggest opening for the Jackass franchise in the UK, topping Jackass 3D’s $2.7m (£1.7m) from 373 sites. It’s worth noting however that the opening for Jackass 3Dwas without previews, so based solely on Fri-Sun, Bad Grandpa’s $2.3m (£1.39m) is behind Jackass 3D, but Bad Grandpa didn’t benefit from a 3D boost. To become the franchise’s best ever UK performer, Bad Grandpa has Jackass 3D’s $9.1m (£5.64m) to surpass. Also for Paramount, animated sequel The Reef 2: High Tide posted a soft $43,600 (£26,910) from its 110 sites, some way short of The Reef’s $337,000 (£208,259) UK bow from 209 sites. FOXLast week’s champion Turbo fell 38% (excluding previews) as it grossed $2.1m (£1.3m) to drop to fourth. Fox’s animation now stands at $10.1m (£6.2m), with Bee Movie the next DreamWorks Animation title in its sights at $15.3m (£9.4m). Also for Fox, Enough Said has grossed $601,000 (£370,902) after ten days in play following a $150,000 (£92,821) second weekend. Baggage Claim and Runner Runner stand at $688,000 (£424,819) and $4.4m (£2.7m) after three and five weeks in play, respectively. EONERounding off this week’s top five, eOne’s Ender’s Gamerecorded a solid debut of $1.9m (£1.2m) from its 424 sites. That’s an average of $4,410 (£2,721), and marks director Gavin Hood’s second biggest UK debut behind X-Men Origins: Wolverine’s $10.8m (£6.7m) bow from 488 sites. Also for eOne, Escape Plan fell almost 50% in its second weekend to add $810,000 (£499,663) from its 363 sites for $3.2m (£2m) to date. Director Mikael Håfström’s best UK performer is currently 1408’s $5.3m (£3.3m) result. Critically acclaimed drama Prisoners stands at a strong $11m (£6.8m) following a $513,000 (£316,669) fifth weekend. ENTERTAINMENTDavid Frankel’s biopic of Paul Potts, One Chance, recorded an estimated $1.1m (£700,000) UK debut through Entertainment to chart sixth. If the estimate holds up, that would mark Frankel’s fourth best UK opening behind Hope Springs ($1.2m/£728,689),The Devil Wears Prada ($5.3m/£3.3m) and Marley & Me($7.2m/£4.4m). WARNER BROSWoody Allen’s latest Blue Jasmine added $342,000 (£211,000) this weekend to climb to $7.4m (£4.58m) so far in the UK through Warner Bros. STUDIOCANALNow in its seventh week of release, StudioCanal’s Rushadded an estimated $200,000 (£123,000) for $15.8m (£9.8m) to date. CURZON FILM WORLDNow in its third week of release, Le Week-end crossed the £1m mark to stand at $1.7m (£1.1m). DISNEYAhead of the release of Thor: The Dark World on Wednesday [Oct 30], Disney’s animations MonstersUniversity and Planes have amassed $49m (£30.3m) and $14m (£8.7m), respectively. Monsters University received a 9% boost week-on-week, and both films could receive mini boosts given this week’s half term. ARTIFICIAL EYEReleased in 34 sites through Artificial Eye, The Selfish Giant posted a $125,000 (£77,507) debut to mark director Clio Barnard’s best-ever UK bow, ahead of The Arbor’s $27,300 (£16,883) debut from 17 sites. ARROW FILMSWith limited screenings across its 17 sites, Arrow’s Cannes jury prize winner Like Father, Like Son added $16,300 (£10,061) for $58,400 (£36,067) after ten days in play. Having played two days and one main evening show on Sunday [Oct 27], The Taste of Money posted a $1,500 (£955) UK debut from its two sites through Arrow. UPCOMING RELEASESThis week’s only saturation release comes in the form of Disney’s Thor: The Dark World (opens Oct 30), while Fox’s Philomena, Verve’s Short Term 12 and Eros’ Krrish 3 all receive wide releases. Lionsgate’s The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia, Sony’s Drinking Buddies and StudioCanal’sChild’s Pose are among the films receiving a limited release.

Heretic Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Thor on Wednesday. Half term + Orange Wednesday should mean a massive OD. I say £8.5m ($13.7m) 5 day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Captain Phillips has benefitted from not facing Gravity unlike in the US, would like it to hit £15m total at least, it'll hit £10m by next weekend if not sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Just saw Gravity at a preview screening. Absolutely breathtaking brilliance encompassed and amazing in 3D on the big screen. Would be criminal if this did not pass £20M at least. Best film of the year so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
