SchumacherFTW Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Didn't even realise, it's half term this upcoming week. That plus bank holiday should mean a very good weekend, and great weekdays next week. Will help AoU on its way to £50m especially. I'm not convinced in £50m for Avengers, it's seriously flamed out here imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Depends. UK was only 3 day opening. But Pitch Perfect made more in Aus than UK first time around aswell. It's the Fat Amy factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm not convinced in £50m for Avengers, it's seriously flamed out here imo. It could still miss it. It'll be very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 4 weeks in to release at 43M, it's not reaching 50M imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 It should be near £45m by Monday, and over half term will probably make another £2-3m. £50m isn't out of reach just yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonstersandRoy Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) Saw Mad Max at a 1pm showing in Birmingham (England) Cineword, quite busy and allocated seating. Was surprised, these showings usually quite quiet. Hopefully word of mouth is giving the film good legs in UK Edited May 23, 2015 by MonstersandRoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I'm heading to Tomorrowland this evening, and am regretting agreeing to go to an Odeon, and am taking offence to their "Blockbuster Pricing" policy. I have to pay £10 for a 2D ticket, £1 more than normal, but I'm going to be in the smallest screen in the fucking cinema. I think that's absolute horse shit on Odeon's part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially seeing as the films most people go to see are blockbusters anyway. They may aswell just put the price up £1 and stop making idiotic excuses. What a rip off.

I'm only paying 40p less than I would be in Brighton at this cinema, which REALLY pisses me off. Hastings is not an affluent area, no matter how much Odeon likes to think it is.

Films Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Vue are annoying me so much with 3D prices. You already have to pay £3 extra for a 3D ticket and you now have to pay a £1 for 3D glasses everytime you see a 3D film so a ticket is like £18 because of those 2 things. And they wonder why people prefer to watch movies online. Anyway seeing Tomorrowland on Wednesday and can't wait to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quigley Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Vue cinemas have tickets that are £3 more expensive than The Light just because they're 10 mins closer to the city centre. Basically tickets in the UK are way overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) Hence why cineworld is so popular. The unlimited card was a fucking genius move by them. Edit: Something really needs to be done about ticket prices though. The price I've paid for BFI imax has accelerated around 80% in 6 years, and it's only a little better at regular cinemas. It's completely taking the piss. Edited May 23, 2015 by Schumacher FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry, what? Disney mega bomb tradition continues.

Jonwo Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Disney didn't really push Tomorrowland that much aside from the UK premiere and the odd chat show. Poltergeist had more ads and billboards in comparison. It'll be interesting how San Andreas does, I imagine it'll do decently and it's a disaster film and they tend to do okay.

Heretic Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell · 18h18 hours ago Mad Max: Fury Road races to a further estimated £2.5m for £9.6m in the UK after 11 days in play. Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell · 21h21 hours ago Pitch Perfect 2 retains UK lead with estimated £2.7m for ten-day tally of £9.8m. Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell · 21h21 hours ago Tomorrowland: A World Beyond opens with around £1.4m in the UK. Gap between MM and PP2 is shortening, MM easily won Mon-Thu, wouldn't surprise me if it beat PP2 outright. Both will do north on £15m. So poor for Tomorrowland. Actuals will be out tomorrow with Monday's bank holiday figures included. Edited May 25, 2015 by Heretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
