CJohn Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) So every country seems to be entering a dead time. America because the Summer is over and the big new releases of the Fall only start in the middle of September and OS because countries are using the last weekend of August and the first couple of weeks of September to release the weaker movies of the Summer (here between August 28 and September 11 the following films opened/will open: Let's Be Cops, Sin City 2, If I Stay, Into the Storm, Deliver Us From Evil, Magic in the Moonlight, The Giver, As Above So Below and What If; very weak line-up). Only on September 18 we get the first big release of the Fall: The Maze Runner. Edited September 6, 2014 by CJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 We're a little different this year. Last year we didn't really get a dead zone all year, with Prisoners, About Time and most importantly, Rush all doing great business through september through to Thor.

Heretic Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Sony’s comedy debuts top with $2.3m (£1.43m), including previews; Universal’s Lucy crosses £10m and led Fri-Sun with $1.9m (£1.19m). Further distributor results to come… Sex Tape has done what it couldn’t do in the US, landing top of the UK box office on debut. Sony’s comedy scored a $2.3m (£1.43m) bow from its 441 sites, including $717,000 (£445,000) in previews. That marks director Jake Kasdan’s second best-ever UK debut, behind Bad Teacher’s $3.2m (£2m) from 427 sites. Bad Teacher is also Kasdan’s best-ever UK performer with $12.4m (£7.7m) and Sex Tape’s holdover this coming weekend will indicate whether it has any chance of challenging it. Based solely on Fri-Sun takings, it’s worth noting that Sex Tape would have charted second with $1.6m (£985,000), behind Lucy. Also for Sony, Deliver Us from Evil has grossed $2.1m (£1.3m) after three weeks in play. UNIVERSALIt might have been prevented from a third straight week at the summit, but Lucy has now crossed £10m at the UK box office. Universal’s action sci-fi fell 39% on its way to $1.9m (£1.19m) - leading the way over Fri-Sun - for a healthy $16.8m (£10.44m) to date. Also for Universal, The Boxtrolls stacked up $1.102m (£684,000) from previews on Saturday and Sunday ahead of its release this Friday [sept 12], while As Above, So Below fell 67% in its second weekend to scare up $210,000 (£130,000) for $1.3m (£816,000). Boyhood stands at $4.5m (£2.8m). STUDIOCANALBefore I Go to Sleep woke up at the UK box office with an sturdy opening of $1.3m (£790,270) from its 363 sites through StudioCanal. Rowan Joffe’s adaptation of S. J. Watson’s best selling novel achieved the director’s strongest UK debut and will shortly become his best-ever UK performer, currentlyBrighton Rock’s $1.7m (£1.04m). EONEBased on Richard C. Morais’ novel, eOne’s The Hundred-Foot Journey charted fourth after a $1.11m (£691,343) debut from its 498 sites. That marks director Lasse Hallström’s fifth best UK bow, behind Safe Haven’s $1.4m (£847,692) from 388 sites. The Hundred-Foot Journey enjoyed its best day on Saturday (up 80% on Friday), but it’ll likely be its mid-week returns that determine its longevity at the box office. Also for eOne, The Grand Seduction posted a second weekend of $36,000 (£22,400) for $147,000 (£91,000) to date. DISNEYGuardians of the Galaxy added a further $1.09m (£677,000) after falling a respectable 34% in its sixth weekend. Disney’s latest Marvel Studios outing is now up to $41.6m (£25.8m) in the UK, and should surpass X-Men: Days of Future Past’s $43.7m (£27.1m) tally to become 2014’s highest grossing superhero/comic book film. Also for Disney, Planes 2: Fire & Rescue took $140,000 (£87,000) for $6.9m (£4.3m) to date, while Million Dollar Arm held onto 174 sites but fell a hefty 79% in its second weekend for $52,000 (£32,000) and a ten-day total of $439,000 (£272,000). FOXDropping 43% (excluding previews) in its second weekend, Fox’s Let’s Be Cops added $1.07m (£663,761) for $5.1m (£3.1m) to date. As expected, the action comedy is now director Luke Greenfield’s best-ever UK performer. Also for Fox, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and How to Train Your Dragon 2 stand at $52.13m (£32.35m) and $38.9m (£24.1m), respectively. ENTERTAINMENTNow in its fifth week of release, Entertainment’s The Inbetweeners 2 took an additional $1m (£632,732) to climb to an excellent $52.06m (£32.31m). It will shortly overtake Dawn of the Planet of the Apes to become the second highest grosser of 2014. ICON FILM DISTRIBUTIONFilm4 FrightFest opener The Guest checked in with a $506,000 (£312,970) debut from its 274 sites through Icon Film Distribution. That’s down on the $846,000 (£523,549) bow of director Adam Wingard’s previous UK outing You’re Next, but it’s worth noting that did include $275,000 (£169,997) in previews and came from slightly more sites at 318. You’re Next went on to take $1.9m (£1.2m) and The Guestwill need a sturdy hold to have a chance of surpassing that. ARTIFICIAL EYE / CURZON FILM WORLDThe Dardenne Brothers’ best-ever UK performer Two Days, One Night has amassed $962,000 (£597,400) through Artificial Eye, a tally that’s especially impressive given it’s been available on VoD since its release date. Released in 22 sites through Curzon Film World (and also simultaneously on VoD), Life of Crime posted a UK debut of $34,000 (£21,202). METRODOMEThe Guvnors recorded an $11,700 (£7,266) second weekend through Metrodome for $165,000 (£102,499), while Attila Marcel grossed $5,400 (£3,348) from its three sites on debut. UPCOMING RELEASESThis week sees a saturation release for Universal’s The Boxtrolls, as eOne’s A Most Wanted Man and Fox/Pathe’s Pride both receive wide releases. Warner Bros’ The Wizard of Oz receives a 3D IMAX release, while Metrodome’s In Order of Disappearance, Soda’s A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness and Fox’sFinding Fanny are among the films receiving a limited release. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Eh? HTTYD2 was at $40M *last* weekend, now it's only at $39M?

SchumacherFTW Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Just to blow people's minds, given the burn off rate for The Inbetweeners, The Lego Movie could be the highest grossing film of this calendar year ( Hobbit will need to average £2m+ daily to beat it before new year.) Let that sink in..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
