Heretic Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 £9m is pretty average with 3D and IMAX. However, AUJ had a 4.5x multiplier from its 4 day opening, so this can maybe manage a 5x multiplier with a 3 day opening and better WOM. Looks like this and DM2 will battle it out for number one of the year, but there may be no £50m film for 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Definitely will be, and should still be doing well without much competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 4m Frozen falls just 11% in its second weekend in the UK, adding an estimated £4.2m for £10.3m so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Absolutely fantastic hold! I expect something similar next weekend, where it should be around £15m already. Then comes Christmas holidays, where it should perform very strongly throughout. $45-50m seems like a possibility right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Told ya Frozen would stay pretty much flat. A 11% drop is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Sunday hold must have been very good. £9.5m ($15.6m) for DOS. With a 5x multiplier, it could still match AUJ's total. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Both Hobbit and Frozen did great. Next week will be just as busy with the arrivial of Anchorman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 £9.5M OW is decent for Hobbit: DoS with just the 3-day opening! Legs should be better so £45M+ is doable and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell6h The Hunger Games: Catching Fire up to almost £29m in the UK after four weeks in play £35m should happen with holidays coming up. See how much higher it can go. $55-60m still looking like the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 So that's £10m more than the first. Not as big a jump as new moon over twilight, but it was a much bigger starting point (10m vs 25m) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Warner Bros’ fantasy sequel dominates with $15.1m (£9.3m) debut; Disney’s Frozen falls just 10% in second weekend. It may have been expected but The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug still impressed on its UK bow, dominating the competition to dethrone Frozen after one week. Warner Bros’ fantasy sequel scored a $15.1m (£9.3m) debut from its 588 sites, with 56.4% of its gross coming from 3D and IMAX screenings. When looking purely at openings, that result does mark the lowest of the Lord of the Rings series. However,Smaug is the first to open without previews and based solely on Fri-Sun performances, it’s the third strongest result behind The Return of the King’s $15.9m (£9.8m) andAn Unexpected Journey’s $15.5m (£9.5m). Desolation of Smaug’s direct predecessor, An Unexpected Journey, went on to take $84.3m (£51.7m) in the UK and if Smaug is to challenge that, it’ll need to enjoy a fruitful Christmas. As a comparison, Journey stood at $58.4m (£35.9m) on Dec 30, 2012 after three weeks in play. Also for Warner Bros, critically acclaimed sci-fi Gravitygrossed $962,000 (£590,000) in its sixth weekend and has so far amassed $41.9m (£25.7m) in the UK. DISNEYFalling just 10% in its second weekend, Frozen may have fallen from the top spot but continued to dazzle in the UK. Disney’s animation added an excellent $6.9m (£4.2m) for a ten-day tally of $16.8m (£10.3m). 2D screenings again provided the lion’s share at 63.35%. In terms of recent Walt Disney Animation Studios outings in the UK, Frozen will shortly overtake The Princess & The Frog’s $18.2m (£11.1m) UK result. With schools breaking for Christmas, is in a strong position to overhaul Wreck-It Ralph’s $38.6m (£23.7m). Also for Disney, Saving Mr. Banks held well in its third weekend as it dropped a slim 22% for $586,000 (£359,134) and a running total of $4.6m (£2.8m). Thor: The Dark World has taken $32.2m (£19.7m) to date. LIONSGATEHaving surpassed The Hunger Games’ UK result last week,The Hunger Games: Catching Fire dropped one place to third as it took an estimated further $2.2m (£1.4m). Lionsgate’s well-received sequel is now up to $47m (£28.8m) in the UK and will soon become the fifth biggest hit of 2013, overtaking Man of Steel’s $48.6m (£29.8m). EONEAnimation Free Birds posted a $312,000 (£191,462) third weekend to climb to $2.9m (£1.8m) in the UK through eOne. The upcoming festive school holidays should see it past £2m. The Family has grossed $1.8m (£1.1m) to date. PARAMOUNTAlexander Payne’s latest Nebraska added $117,000 (£72,000) in its second weekend for a ten-day tally of $561,000 (£344,000) through Paramount. FOXPhilomena is now up to $17.1m (£10.5m) in the UK through Fox, following a non-final $84,000 (£51,516) seventh weekend. Also for Fox, Black Nativity fell almost 50% in its second weekend as it added $37,000 (£22,737) for $195,000 (£119,315). ARTIFICIAL EYENow in its fourth weekend of release in the UK, Artificial Eye’s Palme d’Or winner Blue is the Warmest Colourtook a further $54,000 (£32,911) for $811,000 (£497,240) to date. Artificial Eye also released Fill the Void on seven screens, resulting in a $40,000 (£24,740) ARROWRe-released in 17 sites through Arrow (though some sites had just one screening over the weekend), Cinema Paradiso recorded a $20,200 (£12,374) take with Sunday seeing a 110% jump over Saturday. UPCOMING RELEASESThis week sees the long awaited return of Ron Burgundy and the Channel 4 News Team as Paramount’sAnchorman 2: The Legend Continues receives a saturation release from Wednesday (Dec 18). Fox’s Walking with Dinosaurs: The 3D Movie, Entertainment’s The Harry Hill Movie and Universal’sMoshi Monsters: The Movie also receive saturation releases, while Entertainment’s American Hustle opens in the West End ahead of a nationwide release on Jan 1, 2014. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Another busy week.... Anchorman 2 won't open as well as Hangover Part 2 but £5-6M+ with 5-day OW is probable. Walking with Dinos should do £2M at least with the ton of advertising it is getting everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Wouldn't surprise me at all to see Anchorman match American reunion's 5-day opening of £6.3m (around $10m). DoS should still win the 3-day weekend however. Hopefully it doesn't drop more than 45% and can stay above £5m. I imagine it'll be at around £20m ($32m) come Sunday. Frozen should see another very small drop, sub 20%, just before Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Rth will answer this but wonder what the top grossing cinemas in the Uk were last weekend? Guessing either BFI IMAX or one of the VUEs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Just noticed something insane. In cineworld, The Hobbit is losing IMAX screenings! To Dhoom 3! Should we be paying closer attention to this bollywood film?! Dhoom 3 is expected (read almost locked) to be the biggest Bollywood film ever in India. So it is should do quite decent business in other markets as well. Should get at least £1m opening in UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
