Heretic Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 That's huge. Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell · 3h 22 Jump Street posts minimal drop in its fourth weekend to add around £1.2m for £15m to date in the UK. Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell · 4m The Fault in Our Stars falls only 30% in the UK to add £1.7m for £6.6m to date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Only £200,000 less than 22 Jump Street, dunno if MBB will have legs but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a sequel. 22 Jump Street and TFIOS have benefited from the World Cup although Transformers next week will likely be king with its previews. Wonder if it can do £9m or more for its 9 day opening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) £9m in 9 days will be easy, should do quite a bit more than that. TF3 did £10.7m in 5, this should top that in 9. Edited June 29, 2014 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Any idea about Dragon previews? My screening was disappointingly empty earlier :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 RTH said yesterday it was 75% of the MBB number. we were packed with it today. busier that yesterday (probably because it rained all day). i'd estimate at least £2m for the weekend?

I'm hoping the only reason it was quiet for me was because it was a 3D show. I never normally seek out 3D these days, but I made an exception for toothless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Dragon 2 will open higher than the first because its has five days worth of previews plus early release in Scotland and Ireland whereas the first only had weekend previews and a five day opening.

It's over 2m and MBB won't get as high as 4.6 probably 4.3-4.4 MBB is of cause huge in Ireland market share is very high as is Scotland Tell you one thing nobody wants it in the West End....nobody and to an extend London in general (still #1 in more places but low compared to other areas) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yeah. I don't know many people who watch the show, or even know what it is Sounds good for Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) The show also popular in places like Liverpool as well as that has many people of Irish descent. Wonder it'll be number 1 again next week since the Transformers previews won't be counted. I imagine MBB will be a huge seller on DVD, it's such a marmite show that it doesn't surprise me that it hasn't done as well in London compared to the rest of the country Edited June 30, 2014 by Jonwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Universal’s big screen outing for the popular TV sitcom scores excellent $7.3m (£4.3m) debut to dethrone Fox’s The Fault in Our Stars. Further distributor results to come… Joining the likes of The Inbetweeners on the list of successful TV-to-film outings, Mrs. Brown’s Boys D’Movie has debuted top of the UK box office. Universal’s big screen outing for the popular TV sitcom scored an excellent $7.3m (£4.3m) from its 522 sites, marking a superb $14,043 (£8,240) site average. Understandably, the film was strong in Ireland where it recorded the biggest ever opening day for a local film and the biggest opening day for any film in 2014. In terms of big screen TV outings, it ranks above Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa’s $3.7m (£2.2m) debut from 441 sites and has already outgrossed the entire UK run ofKeith Lemon: The Film ($4.9m/£2.9m). Its holdover next weekend will give an indication of whether it can go on a sustained run like The Inbetweeners Movie, which did almost 3.5 times as much as its $22.5m (£13.2m) debut to end up with $76.7m (£45.03m) in the UK. FOXNow on full release in Scotland and Ireland with previews on Saturday and Sunday across the rest of the UK, How to Train Your Dragon 2 is off to a flying start at the UK box office. Fox’s animated sequel grossed $4m (£2.4m) over the weekend and has amassed $4.9m (£2.9m) to date, including its previews on Father’s Day [June 15]. Comparisons are tricky given the fragmented nature of the release, but How to Train Your Dragon posted a lifetime total of $29.6m (£17.4m) and the sequel looks well-set to surpass that. It’s worth noting that How to Train Your Dragon 2’s weekend may be significantly lower than $4m (£2.4m) in the official chart, where it might be that only the Scotland and Ireland grosses are counted with its England and Wales previews added to its nationwide release on July 11. Also for Fox, last week’s champion The Fault in Our Starsfell just 29% (excluding previews) to add $2.9m (£1.7m) for a healthy $11.4m (£6.7m) after two weeks in play. X-Men: Days of Future Past fell a remarkable 3% in its sixth weekend on its way to $542,000 (£318,277) for $45.1m (£26.5m), while Belle is up to $2.4m (£1.4m) following a non-final $168,000 (£98,528) third weekend. SONYWith a drop of just 22% in its fourth weekend, 22 Jump Street has crossed the £15m mark at the UK box office. Sony’s comedy sequel shot to an additional $2m (£1.2m) to climb to $25.7m (£15.1m) in its quest to become the year’s best comedy performer, currently Bad Neighbours’ $27.2m (£16m) tally. DISNEYDespite the arrival of family competition with Dragon,Maleficent fell a minimal 16% in its fifth weekend on its way to $1.4m (£817,000). Disney’s live action reimagining of Sleeping Beauty has now conjured up $28.2m (£16.6m), and still has a great chance of hitting £20m. LIONSGATEChef cooked up a non-final $1m (£605,064) UK debut, including previews, from its 372 sites through Lionsgate. That’s one of Jon Favreau’s lowest openings as a director, but it’s also his first film not aimed at a family audience since his debut Made. WARNER BROSCrossing £7m in its fifth weekend was Warner Bros’ Edge of Tomorrow as it fought its way to a further $537,000 (£315,318) to lift its UK running total to $12.3m (£7.2m). Also for Warner Bros, Jersey Boys fell over 50% in its second weekend to add $331,000 (£194,460) for an off-key $1.76m (£1.03m) to date. Oculus and Godzilla have grossed $1.8m (£1.1m) and $29.2m (£17.2m), respectively. ICON FILM DISTRIBUTIONCold in July, the first release of scale since Icon’s re-launch, posted a sturdy non-final UK bow of $265,000 (£155,836) from its 105 sites. That already marks director Jim Mickle’s best-ever performance at the UK box office, topping Stake Land’s $249,000 (£146,000) result. EONESuffering a hefty drop in its second weekend, eOne’s 3 Days to Kill took $138,000 (£81,000) for $1.1m (£634,000) after ten days in play. IMGSpoof sequel A Haunted House 2 scared up a better-than-expected $83,000 (£48,596) on its UK bow from 14 sites through IMG. While lower in gross than its predecessor’s opening of $262,000 (£153,769) from 226 sites, the sequel’s performance is stronger with a much better site average. DOGWOOFTaking $9,600 (£5,619) from nine screens through Dogwoof over its official opening weekend, Mistaken for Strangers has now amassed $68,000 (£40,051) in the UK including its previews on June 14. PECCADILLO PICTURESCannes 2013 award-winner The Golden Dream started its UK run with a solid $19,000 (£11,187) from its eight sites through Peccadillo Pictures. CURZON FILM WORLDReleased in eight sites through Curzon Film World, Agnès Jaoui’s Under the Rainbow grossed $7,000 (£4,100) on its UK debut. That’s some way down on the openings of Jaoui’s previous directorial outings, but it’s worth noting that they all received slightly wider releases. UPCOMING RELEASESThis week sees a saturation release for Warner Bros’Tammy, while StudioCanal’s The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared and Metrodome’s The Anomaly both receive wide releases. Artificial Eye’s Cycling with Moliere and Metrodome’sGoddess are among the films receiving a limited release, while Wildcard’s Love Eternal is released in Ireland. Amazing drops all round. HTTYD2 doing very well in previews. Looks like X-men will end around $47m, fantastic run for it. Maleficent still going strong, will top $30m with ease, and 22 Jump Street should hit the mark too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilderic Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 So the $4M for HTTYD2 are from full release in Scotland and Ireland (including NI, I guess) + previews in England and Wales, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I remember when Brave and Ice Age 4 had early release in Scotland and Ireland, only the takings from those countries were included and the previews weren't added until the England and Wales release so it will the same for HTTYD2. Still think they should include the previews in the total anyway rather than inflate the official OW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
