Heretic Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 it's a better release date than tangled though isn't it? Yeah I'd say so. Usually animations in the run up to Christmas have moderate openings, and very good legs, and then drop off significantly after Christmas, but Frozen is more of just a 'winter' type movie, so hopefully that doesn't happen.

Films Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Top 10 films at vue westfield stratford/London/harrow/Finchley O2 UPDATE 1 After 1 cinema, THG: CF is of course on top but has had a disappointing start. It is tracking behind Gravity and Thor 2 but the two Westfields might help this set the new record. Talking about Gravity, the film looks to plummet over 50% and maybe to under 100 showings if the 1st cinema is anything to go by. Thor 2 is also on track for a fall around 45%. Philomena is holding on great again and looking to fall about 30% maximum. The Butler might also increase. The Counsellor, Don Jon, Captain Philips and Dom Hemingway [which hasn't registerd any showings yet] look like the big big falls. Parkland and the family starting solid- on track to hit the debuts of last weeks new releases. Doctor Who sneaking in at 10 for the moment UPDATE 2 Catching Fire's start is somewhat underwhelming even though it has no 3D screenings. It recorded the 3rd highest opening since this started behind Gravity And TTDR but was only one showing ahead of gravity when you get rid of its 2D showings. This needs to hold on well to top the month overall. Gravity actually had a great hold on in the end with the first cinema giving a really misleading forecast. It was now at its record 38 2D screenings while the 3D screenings were still above 100. Thor also held on OK with a late boost in 3D showings. The Family And Parkland both opened solidly but will want to hold on better than most of last weeks releases. Don Jon and The Counsellor opened higher than the family and dom hemingway [which only kept 4 showings this week] also opened higher than Parkland but both the two new entries opened higher than this weeks major success- The Butler. The Butler climbed 4 places and added an extra 4 screenings in a fantastic week for the drama. Look for a great hold at the box office also. Philomena fell way worse than expected after the first cinema [nearly 50%] and the counsellor plummeted over 55%. Doctor Who which is only showing on Saturday [though there is the odd occasional screening on the sunday] sneaked into the top 10 with 24 showings, a great entry for a special. Next week should see THG: CF reign again though look for debuts about 70 for SMB, 55 for Free Birds, 40 for Carrie and 45 for TBMH.

Leyla Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Philomena is holding on great again and looking to fall about 30% maximum. This sounds super encouraging! thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htall90 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 CF better not effect gravity to much this weekend! I'm hoping gravity makes more then CF overall a slim chance but would restore my faith in British audiences film taste lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 CF is meant to be an excellent film too, so it really doesn't matter. Gravity has already been hugely successful anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 My showing at BFI wasn't a sell out, but still freaking awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Tonight is looking busy, but like Gravity when it opened on Thursday, Friday more than doubled in gross. I expect the same to happen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 You'd expect massive pre-sales for CF, but actually, it's had big walk up business this evening. Having said that though, shows tomorrow night are looking absolutely packed already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 same as above ^ for us - we were expecting a fairly quiet night with the pre-sales, but it's turned out pretty busy. tomorrow night the pre-sales are like 5 times higher though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Maybe the Thursday launch has really skewed everything. If it had been a Friday launch pre sakes would have been bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yep. I don't really know what to expect for todays gross. Maybe £1.5m-ish. But tomorrow, oh boy it's gonna be a busy night. Pre-sales are very strong, like you'd expect for a franchise like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Films Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 About 65-70% full in the.biggest screen. Such a great film. Bring on MJ1 and MJ2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Leicester Square 1,700 seater is already over half full for tomorrows 9pm show. That'll probably come very close to selling out, which only the biggest films really do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
