Jonwo Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 It'll be interesting if Inside Out impacts Minions in anyway. I have a feeling Minions will probably fall short of DM2's total because the competition in the coming weeks is a lot tougher than what DM2 had.

Heretic Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Minions isn't acting like a family film AT ALL. Shows tonight are absolutely rammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yeah it must be our best Friday (non-holiday) for an animated film since Toy Story 3.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Opening night sellouts: 9.8% Minions shows tonight are sellouts That's up on Jurassic's 9.3% for its opening Friday night however bear in mind: -JW had over twice as many shows -JW burned off some demand on Thursday Still, incredible that it is ahead of JW given that it's a kids animated movie and this is evening showings only that I am talking about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I imagine it'll be closer to Toy Story 3 and DM2's three day opening than Jurassic World but still impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously JW is a poor example but I only recently started tracking sellouts so that's the only one I can compare with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Following its strong $7.4m (£4.9m) previews last weekend, there was no doubt Despicable Me 2 would open big at the UK box office - it was just a question of how big. The result was an excellent $22.6m (£14.9m) debut, including previews, with $15.2m (£10m) taken Friday to Sunday. So +10% from DM2(without previews) and under 40% drop for JW again Edited June 27, 2015 by Kylin Zhang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 So JW could potentially hit £50m this weekend. Very nice for Minions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Minions looking very strong today around me, every show at my local cineworld is at minimum a third full, before 5pm it's at least half full, and a couple are near sell outs. Also, Jurassic World has some pretty respectable pre sales for today, should sell out a couple of shows today, but that's going to be aided by the fact it's been relegated to the third biggest and the smallest screens.

wildphantom Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Minions - saw it at 10am this morning at my multiplex and there were maybe 8 people in there. In the biggest screen. Only as I beat the crowds. The shows look very busy for the rest of the day. The film is good fun, beautifully animated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 £10m is still fantastic, on par with DM2 and considering the fantastic weather we've been having. It doesn't bode well for Terminator and Magic Mike XXL since it's set to continue next weekend. I think £40m total for Minions but it does depend on how its affected by competition especially Inside Out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 14m 14 minutes ago Jurassic World up to around £48.3m in the UK. Could well be biggest film of the year once actual figures are confirmed tomorrow. £60m is pretty much locked now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
