Fake Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 weekend TF4 should get something around bit over/under lc13m with previews and dragon over 9mWhat is the actual Fri-Sun component in those figures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpo Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 weekend TF4 should get something around bit over/under lc13m with previews and dragon over 9m, MBB off about 50%. Boyhood about 300k That looks like a terrible weekend. Since you mentioned earlier that TF4 made 9M pounds and HTTYD2 had around 8M pounds in previews then that would leave them with 4M and >1M for the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 i can't believe Dragon is only around £1m for the weekend.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 That's impossible it's only £1m. Should be at least £2-3m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Not really its had several days worth of previews. I thought it had been released days ago.It's as much as TF4 despite TF is much more famous as a franchise.I'm perfectly fine with that :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 That HTTYD2 number doesn't include the areas of UK/Ireland that got an early general release, does it? I know BOM reported weekend numbers for those areas for the previous two weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCS Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Why the surprise? Just two huge openings in one weekend (even though they had previews). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Paramount’s latest outing records year’s biggest opening to date with non-final $20.1m (£11.74m); Universal’s Boyhood scores strong $565,000 (£330,000) debut. As expected, Transformers: Age of Extinction has recorded the year’s biggest opening to date as it exploded into life at the UK box office. Paramount’s latest outing for the popular franchise shot to a non-final $20.1m (£11.74m) debut from its 532 sites, including $13.7m (£8m) in previews. As with last weekend’s Sat-Sun take, the film’s Fri-Sun tally of $6.3m (£3.7m) would have also seen it top the chart, based purely on Fri-Sun takings. The debut also marks the biggest opening of theTransformers series to date, surpassing Transformers: Dark of the Moon’s $18.4m (£10.7m) which included $7.2m (£4.23m) in previews. If we consider this Fri-Sun to be its first ‘weekend’ though, Age of Extinction’s $6.3m (£3.7m) gross is actually the lowest of the franchise. Dark of the Moon is currently the highest grossingTransformers outing in the UK at $48.1m (£28.11m), and the arrival of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes will provide stiff blockbuster competition for Transformers: Age of Extinction this coming weekend in its attempt to overtake that result. FOXExpanding nationwide after two weeks of release in Scotland and Ireland, How to Train Your Dragon 2climbed up to second with a $12.5m (£7.3m) weekend, including $7.5m (£4.4m) from its UK and Wales previews over the past month. Just taking into account Fri-Sun, Fox’s animated sequel took $5m (£2.9m) for a boost of 11% over last Fri-Sun when the film previewed across the UK and Wales. With its predecessor’s $29.7m (£17.4m) in its sights, How to Train Your Dragon 2 stands at $16.4m (£9.6m). Also for Fox, The Fault in Our Stars is on the cusp of £10m after a $956,000 (£558,357) weekend lifted it to $16.9m (£9.9m). X-Men: Days of Future Past stands at $46.2m (£27m). UNIVERSALLast week’s champion Mrs. Brown’s Boys D’Movie fell to third with a $1.8m (£1.06m) third weekend through Universal. The big screen outing of the popular TV sitcom is up to a healthy $20.3m (£11.84m) in the UK, and still has a good chance of hitting £15m. Also for Universal, the critically acclaimed Boyhood is off to a strong start with a $565,000 (£330,000) debut, including $34,000 (£20,000) in previews, at a site average of $5,827 (£3,402). That marks director Richard Linklater’s second highest opening in the UK, behind School of Rock’s $4.6m (£2.7m) debut from a considerably wider release (377). Linklater’s acclaimed Before trilogy all missed the £1m mark in the UK, a target that looks the minimum aim for Boyhood. EONELanding in 347 sites through eOne, Begin Again started its UK run with $777,000 (£454,139) and was arguably hit by the unexpected good weather this weekend. It is, however, director John Carney’s best-ever UK debut by some distance and it will shortly overtake Once’s $1.2m (£682,000) UK result. SONYWith a further slim drop in its sixth weekend, Sony’s 22 Jump Street added $711,000 (£415,000) for an excellent $30m (£17.5m) to date. DISNEYAlso with a minimal drop of 32% was Disney’s Maleficent, conjuring up $526,000 (£307,000) for $30.8m (£17.96m) after seven weeks in play. Worldwide, the reimagining ofSleeping Beauty is the fourth biggest film of the year at $670m. WARNER BROSFalling almost 50% in its second weekend, Warner Bros’Tammy added $414,000 (£242,000) for $1.9m (£1.13m) in the UK. Also for Warner Bros, Edge of Tomorrow has amassed $13.3m (£7.75m). LIONSGATEChef cooked up a $133,000 (£77,588) third weekend through Lionsgate for $2.3m (£1.3m) to date. VERTIGO FILMSNow in its third week of release, Vertigo Films’ Walking on Sunshine grossed $93,000 (£54,436) from its 91 sites for $1.9m (£1.1m) to date. STUDIOCANALCurrently playing in 65 sites, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared added $79,000 (£46,251) for $394,000 (£230,638) after ten days in play through StudioCanal. UPCOMING RELEASESThis week sees saturation releases for Fox’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (opens July 17) and Vertigo’s Pudsey the Dog: the Movie (opens today in Ireland and Scotland). Soda’s Finding Vivian Maier, Peccadillo’s I Am Divineand StudioCanal’s Grand Central are among the films receiving a limited release. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 So Apes on Thursday. First one did very well in the UK, $9.5m opening, and $32m total, the biggest OS territory. I could see a 4 day of £7m ($12m), and with the amazing reception and the whole of the summer break to take advantage of, $40m is possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
