KATCH-2D2 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 AOE is doing so terribly. Good to see. Might struggle for £20m now. Well.. We shouldn't expect it to do well everywhere, should we? Why would a film this hated be expected to live up to it's potential? I remember a month ago even a billion was pretty much in doubt.

Heretic Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Fox’s sequel retains top spot with $6.4m (£3.8m) second weekend; Paramount’s Hercules muscles in with $2.46m (£1.45m). Doing what its predecessor couldn’t, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes has reigned over the UK box office for the second consecutive week. Fox’s sequel swung to an additional $6.4m (£3.8m), dropping 48% (excluding previews), and has amassed $28.8m (£17m) after just 11 days in play. It should surpass Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ $35.3m (£20.77m) UK result by the end of next weekend at the latest. Whether it can become only the second 2014 release (along with The Lego Movie) to hit the £30m mark is likely to depend on how it copes with the arrival of Guardians of the Galaxy this week. Also for Fox, How to Train Your Dragon 2 flew past the £15m mark in its fifth weekend of release (third of nationwide). The animated sequel added $1.7m (£990,959) for $25.7m (£15.1m) to date in its quest to overtake its predecessor’s $29.6m (£17.4m) UK haul. The Fault in Our Stars has grossed $18.7m (£11m) after six weeks in play.PARAMOUNTThis week’s highest new entry came in the muscular form of Paramount’s Hercules which charted second with a $2.46m (£1.45m) bow from its 441 sites. That’s already some way ahead of the entire UK gross of 2014’s other Hercules release, The Legend of Hercules, and is on par with the debut of director Brett Ratner’s last UK outing, Tower Heist ($2.48m/£1.46m from 416). Also for Paramount, Transformers: Age of Extinction is up to $29.5m (£17.4m) following a $1.4m (£803,063) third weekend. Its main target is the $39.9m (£23.5m) result ofTransformers to avoid becoming the series’ weakest UK performer.UNIVERSALArriving in third with a $2m (£1.16m) bow at a $5,128 (£3,019) site average was Universal’s The Purge: Anarchy. That’s an opening up on The Purge which started with $1.7m (£1m) from 348 on its way to $5.9m (£3.5m), a target well in the sights of the sequel. Also for Universal, Boyhood fell just 11% in its third weekend to take $474,000 (£279,000) for $2.4m (£1.42m) to date. That’s the best UK performance for director Richard Linklater, outside of the more mainstream Schoolof Rock, and Boyhood shows no sign of slowing down yet. Mrs. Brown’s Boys D’Movie is up to $23.6m (£13.88m) after five weeks in play.EONEEarth to Echo landed with a $1m (£610,000) debut, including $75,000 (£44,000) in previews, from its 457 sites through eOne. It’s a solid, if unspectacular, start for the family sci-fi, which faces further competition this week with the arrival of The Nut Job as the school holidays get into full swing. Also for eOne, Begin Again took a further $136,000 (£80,000) for $2.2m (£1.3m) to date.VERTIGO FILMSFalling over 50% in its second weekend, Vertigo Films’Pudsey the Dog: The Movie grossed $271,000 (£159,346) from its 415 sites for $1.5m (£897,927) to date.SONYSony’s hit comedy sequel 22 Jump Street added $166,000 (£98,000) to climb to $31.1m (£18.3m) after eight weeks in play.DISNEYNow in its ninth weekend of release, Disney’s Maleficenthas now conjured up $31.4m (£18.52m) in the UK following a $124,000 (£73,000) weekend.CURZON FILM WORLDReleased simultaneously on VoD, Curzon Film World’s Joeposted a UK theatrical debut of $55,000 (£32,215) from its 37 sites. That’s up on the 16-site $20,000 (£11,569) opening of director David Gordon Green’s last UK release,Prince Avalanche.ARROW FILMSNorthwest and the re-issue of Seijun Suzuki’s Branded to Kill grossed $1,100 (£650) and $825 (£486) from three and two sites, respectively, through Arrow Films.UPCOMING RELEASESThis week sees saturation releases for Disney’sGuardians of the Galaxy (opens July 31), Universal’sStep Up 5: All In and Warner Bros’ The Nut Job. StudioCanal’s Mood Indigo receives a wide release, while Wildcard’s Blackwood and Altitude’s A Promise are among the films receiving a limited release. Apes is doing very well, it should do $45m, and $50m isn't out of range yet. Guardians this week, doubt it'll be able to match the other Marvel openings, 4 day of £4-5m sounds doable. And apparently it's excellent, so school holidays will give it a good run in August. Edited July 28, 2014 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Films Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) After studios finally noticed that there are now only 2 films on 17 October compared to when there was 6 on that date a month ago, The Best Of Me has moved up two weeks and The Homesman has also been scheduled for that date The Pact 2 will open on November 14 against Nativity 3, The Imitation Game and The Drop Monsters: Dark Continent has been delayed 2 months to 28 November Trash has been pushed back 3 months to 30 January The Theory Of Everything has moved up 2 weeks to 2 January Mortdecai has been scheduled for 30 January and something will definitely move off that date eventually as 6 films are scheduled for wide release on 30 January [Mortdecai, Trash, Big Hero 6, The Boy Next Door, Kitchen Sink and Inherent Vice] Edited July 31, 2014 by Films Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
