Heretic Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Absolutely INCREDIBLE for WIB! :blink:Should reach £20m now. Never expected that.Excellent for TBEMH too. Should hold well throughout the coming weeks which could push it into the mid-teens. Edited March 5, 2012 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Both Project X and Wanderlust did badly, Project X i think could have done a lot better with more marketing. The Muppets also had a small drop, should hit £15-16m by next weekend. TBEMH should continue to do well, I think it'll break £10m by next week.Interesting that they're hasn't been a breakout hit yet, last year there was The King's Speech, Gnomeo and Juliet, Black Swan and Tangled. So far this year only War Horse, The Woman in Black, The Muppets and now The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel have done big business. I'm expecting big numbers for The Hunger Games, The Pirates! and Wrath of the Titans, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 You mentioned 4 breakouts, which is the same as last year according to your list. :lol:I think this year is doing very well so far...I expect it to continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It's already made its money back in America, anything OS is extra profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should hold well throughout the coming weeks which could push it into the mid-teens.I'm in shock as well as to the incredible performance of WiB. I guess it was just a perfect combination of WoM and Radcliffe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) It'd be nice if it got an Australian release date. Edited March 6, 2012 by lab276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmpro Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 WiB is a monster Why is it so big in the UK?Is it a british made film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yeh it's a british film.But it had a big advertising campaign, but the most important thing is the 12A rating (meaning a 1 year old can see the film if accompanied by someone over 12) and good WOM.

Heretic Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Let's not forget probably the most important reason: Radcliffe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Let's not forget probably the most important reason: Radcliffe. You're vastly overrating his part in this. People have been seeing it because it's pant pissingly scary to a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 I really don't think it would have done nearly as well if it was some unknown actor. Of-cpurse WOM has played a massive part too though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The majority of the film's success is because of Radcliffe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Can't see JC doing well here either. There hasn't been much advertisment at all, and I doubt many teens even know what the hell this is.It might manage £2-3m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
