Heretic Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Saw wolf again tonight! So fucking good. Cinema was rammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Not surprising that Peabody and Lego have previews although that'll mean Frozen will now lose screens. Not surprised Ridealong has been moved up, it's a hit in the US and it should do okay over here, it faces Non-Stop, the new Liam Neeson film. It'll be interesting how Robocop does, it's a known title but it doesn't look that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Saw Wolf in the afternoon yesterday, pretty busy too. Pretty disappointed but I can see why most people love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Frozen is busy again this afternoon. It makes probably 90% of its money on Saturday and Sunday, so another very small drop can be expected. Wolf is doing very well once again, should have a good drop and be over £10m by Sunday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Films Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 A major recommendation for anyone on this threa iis to go and catch grudge match. An amazing fantastic film. I now really want to see ride alongAlso a few questions1) Does the nut job have a release date and if not do you think it will get one and if so when?2) is endless love out on valentines day?3) has welcome to yesterday been delayed to October here?4) does anyone know any good websites for release dates in the uk other than launching films and imdb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 What is opening in UK this weekend? Just Jack Ryan? It is flopping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Jack Ryan. Looks that way yes. Also August: Osage County, Inside Llewyn Davis and Grudge Match. None of them will do particularly well on openings, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Endless Love does open on Valentines Day, yes. Nut Job I don't think has been picked up by a UK distributor yet, but after the US opening I'm sure it will be soon. Someone like Eone will probably get it and release it May half term which is looking quiet for kids films 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) I imagine eOne or Entertainment will pick up Nut Job, May half term has Malificent so not completely quiet. Edited January 25, 2014 by Jonwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Maleficent is released on the 30th which is the tail end of Half term here - the schools go back on Monday the 2nd. The only kids film for the main holiday week is Postman Pat at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 4m The Wolf of Wall Street retains UK lead with £3.2m for a strong ten-day tally of £10.4m Very good! Definitely on track for £20m right now, and possibly biggest 18 movie ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 2m 12 Years a Slave continues its excellent UK run, adding £2m for superb £10.4m running tally. Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 4m Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit starts UK run with around £1.3m from 404 sites. Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 6m Inside Llewyn Davis records UK bow of £701k from 206 sites. 12 Years will easily pass £15m, might get close to £20m depending on how well it can hold up over the coming weeks, and if it gets an oscar boost later on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Another strong weekend! Saw 12YAS last night, brilliant stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 1h The Wolf of Wall Street falls just 23% as it retains UK lead with £3.57m for £10.87m. Full story @Screendaily later this morning. Pretty big increase from yesterday's estimates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 1m As if Frozen needed more help to bring in the money at the UK box office (£35.6m), a sing-along version will be released from Feb 7th. Can it push for £40m? I think it can. That would be around $65m! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Universal’s biopic falls just 23% as it adds $5.9m (£3.6m) to lead chart for second straight week; eOne’s 12 Years a Slave crosses £10m mark. As predicted by Way To Blue’s buzz chart, The Wolf of Wall Street continued to charm UK audiences to retain the top spot for a second consecutive week. Universal’s biopic fell just 23% on its strong opening to gross $5.9m (£3.6m) as it sailed past the £10m mark in just ten days. Martin Scorsese’s latest stands at $18m (£10.9m) and is likely to overcome The Departed’s $21.2m (£12.8m) in the coming days to become the director’s best-ever UK performer. The Wolf of Wall Street is also in a fantastic position to become the UK’s strongest ever 18-rated performer, currently Hannibal’s $35.5m (£21.6m) result, if it manages a similar hold this coming weekend. Also for Universal, Last Vegas added $774,000 (£468,000) in its fourth weekend in play and has amassed a sturdy $10.4m (£6.3m) to date.EONEHolding firm in second, 12 Years a Slave posted just a 27% drop in its third weekend as it added $3.7m (£2.23m) to cross the £10m mark. eOne’s critically acclaimed awards contender now stands at a strong $18.3m (£11.04m) and is set to cross the £15m mark in the coming weeks with £20m a likely target. Also for eOne, Delivery Man has grossed $4.7m (£2.8m) following a $562,000 (£339,697) third weekend.PARAMOUNTThe week’s highest new entry came in the form of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, which charted third. Paramount’s spy reboot posted a $2.1m (£1.3m) UK bow from its 443 sites, with 10.1% of the gross coming from 23 IMAX screens. That’s up on The Sum of All Fears’ $1.9m (£1.1m) UK debut, albeit from less sites at 346, and puts it in a position to challenge Patriot Games’ $10.8m (£6.5m) UK tally as the best performer in the franchise. However, the debut pales next to Chris Pine’s other notable reboot, Star Trek, which phased to $9.8m (£5.95m) in 2009 from 499 sites. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues stands at $23.6m (£14.28m) after six weeks in play.DISNEYFrozen is effectively doing all its business on Saturday and Sunday but is doing so in style. Disney’s Oscar-nominated animation remained in fourth with a $1.8m (£1.09m), a barely noticeable drop on last week’s $1.9m (£1.15m), to sail past the £35m mark. It currently stands at $58.9m (£35.57m), that’s a running tally of almost eight times its opening weekend of $7.7m (£4.7m). It has every chance of hitting £40m, especially as Disney announced today that a sing-along version of the film will be released in UK cinemas from Feb 7, in time for the school half term holidays.ENTERTAINMENTAmerican Hustle enjoyed another slim drop in its sixth weekend to gross a non-final $1.6m (£994,762) to round off this week’s top five. Entertainment’s awards contender stands at an excellent $18.6m (£11.2m) having crossed the £10m mark last week. Charting seventh on debut, August: Osage Countyrecorded a non-final $890,000 (£537,219) opening from its 300 sites through Entertainment. The result means it’s already director John Wells’ strongest UK performer, topping The Company Men which received a 100-site release in 2011.STUDIOCANALPosting the third highest site average of the weekend (behind The Wolf of Wall Street and 12 Years a Slave), StudioCanal’s Inside Llewyn Davis got off to a solid start in the UK. The Coen brothers’ latest outing enjoyed a $1.2m (£714,581) debut from its 205 sites for an average of $5,747 (£3,469). That’s some way behind the duo’s best-ever UK bow achieved by Burn After Reading, but it’s worth noting that its $3.4m (£2m) debut came from 396 sites.WARNER BROSFalling around 50% in its seventh weekend, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug journeyed to a further $698,000 (£422,000) to stand at $70m (£42.3m) through Warner Bros. The IMAX re-release has worked for Gravity as the critically acclaimed sci-fi should hit £30m in the coming week. Warner Bros’ awards contender stands at $49m (£29.6m) following a $544,000 (£329,000) weekend. Not such good news for Warner Bros’ new release Grudge Match though as it failed to land a knockout blow with a soft $437,000 (£264,000) debut from its 317 sites. That marks one of director Peter Segal’s lowest-ever UK bows and is also down on Sylvester Stallone’s last notable re-team, Escape Plan, which broke out with $1.6m (£958,092) from 362 sites.LIONSGATEEdging out Devil’s Due in the top ten, The Railway Mantook a further $619,000 (£373,986) from its 378 sites through Lionsgate and has so far amassed $6.8m (£4.1m). The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is up to $56.3m (£33.9m)FOXFalling over 50% in its second weekend, Devil’s Due took $618,000 (£372,253) and has so far scared up $2.9m (£1.8m) through Fox. Also for Fox, Walking with Dinosaurs continued its solid UK run by dropping a mere 12% in its sixth weekend as it journeyed to a further $352,000 (£212,626) for $9.2m (£5.55m) to date. Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty stand at $6.8m (£4.1m) and $10.9m (£6.6m), respectively, while Turbo enjoyed a little boost this weekend to lift its UK tally to $19.5m (£11.8m).DOGWOOFReleased in four sites (although two sites were one-off screenings), Dogwoof’s re-release of Dark Days posted a $5,200 (£3,150) UK debut.SODA PICTURESMatt Wolf’s Teenage recorded a $2,700 (£1,611) UK bow from three sites through Soda Pictures.UPCOMING RELEASESThis week sees saturation releases for Entertainment’s I, Frankenstein (opens Jan 29), Lionsgate’s Out of the Furnace (opens Jan 29), eOne’s That Awkward Moment(opens Jan 29) and Universal’s Lone Survivor. Sony’s The Armstrong Lie receives a wide release, while Soda Pictures’ Journal de France is among the films receiving a limited release. Another excellent weekend. Wolf and 12 Years doing amazing business right now, both can pass £20m, and American Hustle could pass £15m depending on how it fares during the oscars. Frozen still above £1m! The 8th week to do so, it's heading for around $65m right now which is incredible. Hobbit passed $70m also, and I think that's another increase for Gravity. Will hit $50m very soon. LOL at Grudge Match. Edited January 27, 2014 by Heretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Mr Peabody and Sherman have previews next weekend and Lego the week after which may hurt Frozen, Wolf of Wall Street is having a solid run as is 12 Years a Slave. Not much out next week, can't see I, Frankenstein, That Awkward Moment and Out of the Furnance doing great business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Gravity, in its like 12th week, made more than Grudge Match. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I've just had an interesting thought. If frozen makes it to half term in enough screens, it will be the first all audience film since Avatar to benefit from two school holidays!
