Bishop54 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yep. It should be around £59m by Sunday, it needs just over £64m for $100m, which may be a tad too high. We'll see. Anything extra from here on out is gravy. I love how it performed in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Can JW still benefit from school holidays or is it going to lose too many screens to Ant-Man and has it's leg cut short? It probably will a little, but Ant-Man this week and Inside Out next week will see it losing more and more showtimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATCH-2D2 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It probably will a little, but Ant-Man this week and Inside Out next week will see it losing more and more showtimes. Too bad. On the other hand it's already made a lot of money anyway so, all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 That drop for Ted 2 is atrocious, it'll be lucky if it does half of the lifetime total of Ted. Ant Man I'm expecting Guardians numbers which would be pretty decent. I'm interesting how Inside Out will do in two weeks because it's been promoted very heavily.

Rthmessiah Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 "UNIVERSAL Not content with its films setting records, Universal has become the first ever distributor to achieve a 1-2-3 treble at the top of the UK box office."

MinaTakla Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 From the Guardian: Now at £27.6m, Minions is slightly ahead of Despicable Me 2 (£27.1m) at the same stage of its run, after three weekends of play. However, Minions is showing more consistency in its performance: third-weekend takings of £4.15m compare favourably with £2.22m for Despicable Me 2 in its third session. Consequently, Minions looks on course to exceed Despicable Me 2’s final tally of £47.5m. Pixar’sInside Out, arriving 24 July, is the only fly in the ointment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCS Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Ant-Man leads the UK box office with estimated £3.8m debut. Ouch. Not great for the mini-man. Thought it would have got near £5M or above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Universal becomes first distributor to have four films hit the £30m mark in a calendar year as Minions reaches $50.3m (£32.3m). DISNEY Marking the first non-Universal number one since Spy over the June 5-7 weekend, Ant-Man has continued Marvel’s run of top spot debuts. Disney’s latest superhero outing with a solid $6.2m (£4m) from its 550 sites. Though it ranks towards the lower end of Marvel bows, it did debut ahead of Captain America: The First Avenger ($4.6m/£3m) and The Incredible Hulk ($5.1m/£3.3m). Based solely on Fri-Sun figures, Ant-Man also opened higher than Thor which struck up $8.5m (£5.4m), but included $3.6m (£2.3m) in previews. Given its strong critical response, Ant-Man could be well-set for a lengthy run and will be looking to challenge the final results of Iron Man ($27.1m/£17.4m) and Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($29.7m/£19.1m). UNIVERSAL They may not be top of the chart, but Universal has still set another record as it became the first distributor to have four films hit £30m in a calendar year. The feat was achieved as animated spin-off Minions continued its superb run with a $4.2m (£2.7m) fourth weekend for a terrific $50.3m (£32.3m) to date. It’s still tracking ahead of Despicable Me 2 ($46.6m/£30m at same stage), so don’t rule out Minions threatening £50m just yet. Also for Universal, Ted 2 followed up its somewhat soft opening with $2.1m (£1.4m) for $11m (£7m) after 12 days in play, and is still to match the $14.5m (£9.3m) opening five days of Ted. Jurassic World will soon become the first film since Skyfall to hit the £60m mark in the UK. The triumphant dinosaur return added $1.8m (£1.13m) for $92.6m (£59.5m) to date, meaning it could be the ninth biggest film of all time by the end of next weekend if it overtakes LOTR: The Return of the King’s $94.7m (£60.88m). CINEMALIVE André Rieu’s 2015 Maastricht Concert again broke records for CinemaLive on Saturday [July 18] with a $1.6m (£1.02m) haul [see separate story here]. PARAMOUNT Now in its third week, Paramount’s Terminator Genisys shot to a further $1.3m (£822,000) for $14.4m (£9.24m) to date. It still has a chance of catching Terminator Salvation’s $22.2m (£14.2m) UK result. WARNER BROS Holding well in its third weekend, Warner Bros’ Magic Mike XXL gyrated to an extra $816,000 (£524,195) for $8.6m (£5.5m) to date. It will likely fall short of Magic Mike’s $13.1m (£8.4m) tally, barring a late surge. Also for Warner Bros, The Gallows failed to bring the chills at the UK box office, mustering up $523,000 (£335,923) from its 315 sites. In terms of recent found footage horrors in the UK, it debuted ahead of The Pyramid ($296,000/£190,049 from 251), but behind As Above, So Below ($621,000/£398,693 from 337). ALTITUDE FILM DISTRIBUTION Falling just 24%, Altitude Film Distribution’s Amy added $492,000 (£315,421) from its 279 sites for an excellent $3.2m (£2.06m) to date. That makes Asif Kapadia’s documentary the ninth biggest documentary of all time, and the fifth biggest non-concert documentary ever. FOX Secret Cinema’s production of The Empire Strikes Back grossed $472,000 (£303,625) in the seventh week of its run and has now taken $4m (£2.6m). Also for Fox, True Story uncovered $213,000 (£136,779) from its 147 sites on debut and will hope to have healthier midweek returns, while Spy edged closer to £10m as a $98,000 (£62,705) weekend saw it reach $15.4m (£9.88m). ENTERTAINMENT Marking one of the lowest openings for director Tarsem Singh, Entertainment’s Self/less could only manage a $335,000 (£214,988) debut from its 270 sites. That’s only ahead of The Fall which received a limited release, taking $36,000 (£22,849) from just eight sites on its UK bow. SONY Following its disappointing opening, Sony’s Love & Mercy added $87,000 (£56,088) for a ten-day tally of $433,000 (£278,387). CURZON FILM WORLD Sebastião Salgado documentary The Salt of the Earth recorded a UK bow of $86,000 (£55,632), including $29,000 (£18,745) in previews, from its 26 sites through Curzon Film World. STUDIOCANAL Falling around 50% in its second weekend, StudioCanal’s Song of the Sea took a non-final $56,000 (£36,060) from its 109 sites for $255,000 (£163,849) to date. Also for StudioCanal, 13 Minutes posted an opening of $20,000 (£12,572) from its 17 sites, marking director Oliver Hirschbiegel’s lowest-ever UK debut but it’s worth noting that it received his smallest release, site-wise. SODA PICTURES Cannes 2014 Grand Prix winner The Wonders grossed $11,000 (£6,900) from its 11 sites on its UK debut through Soda Pictures. UPCOMING RELEASES This week sees a saturation release for Disney’s Inside Out, while Metrodome’s Eden, Entertainment’s Southpaw, Vertigo’s Maggie and Icon’s Edinburgh opener The Legend of Barney Thomson all receive wide releases. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Decent for Antman, has summer holidays now which will prolong its run. Minions is doing fantastically, even with Inside Out, £45m+ has a good chance of happening. Very nice for JW. $100m is still on the table, it's gonna be close. Inside Out has been advertised really well, I expect a solid opening (£4-5m), and excellent legs across the whole of July and August. Another £30m potential. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Jesus, Magic Mike's legs are getting a workout at my cinema. Every night we are having packed out screenings, including people who have seen it 4-5+ times. Decent for Antman, has summer holidays now which will prolong its run. Minions is doing fantastically, even with Inside Out, £45m+ has a good chance of happening. Very nice for JW. $100m is still on the table, it's gonna be close. Inside Out has been advertised really well, I expect a solid opening (£4-5m), and excellent legs across the whole of July and August. Another £30m potential. This is gonna sound a bit crazy but I think £6-7M or more could happen this weekend. And it will finish with £35-40M.
