PhilipJ2001 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 This Means War is doing really badly at my place. Like half the business of Woman In Black so far this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Another repeat at number 1 seems likely. Pretty amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 TMW isn't great, I still Universal missed a trick not scheduling The Lorax day and date as the US as it would have easily done over £2m. I imagine Wanderlust did poorly as well. Think Safe House and OBEMH will have small drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 TWM actually surprised over here. People were expecting it to tank and in the end it did pretty much the same as War Horse.The Lorax should have opened in the UK in the beginning of the Easter holidays, at March 23rd.

Jonwo Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 23rd March would have meant facing the Hunger Games. My theory is that Universal didn't want to compete with The Pirates! It's not going to do as well in the summer especially with Ice Age in July and Brave in August.Contraband seems to be getting a lot of advertising as is Hunger Games, there hasn't been any for either John Carter or 21 Jump Street. Wrath of the Titans and Pirates! I imagine we'll see ads within the next week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 The Lorax is also facing THG here... I think the problem may have been The Pirates! like you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Marigold Hotel up 7% was number 1 with about £2.4mThis Means War number 3 with £1.8mso i assume Woman In Black is between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Really? Wow that's great. And another small drop for WIB it seems. It just won't die. The UK BO is doing fantastically atm. Should continue with THG coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Great weekend in the UK again..Next few weeks should be great too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 TBEMH is really good and yet another British film success. TMW is slightly skewed by previews but I imagine not by much. John Carter next week, I think £2-3m OW, if TBEMH continues to do well, it may prove an upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hand of Illumination Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 2-3 million would be absolutely terrible. So I guess everyone including foreigners are banking on this to do bad business worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Disney movies never do much in the UK. PoP and SA tanked there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Disney movies do well...it's just the ones that don't appeal to the mass/aren't marketed well that flop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 POP didn't really do that well in Europe though. The UK reflected the disappointing US run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 POP didn't really do that well in Europe though. The UK reflected the disappointing US run. And never managed to crack the number one spot thanks to Streetdance 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
