I thought Spectre would make around £70m or so, but now that £80m+ is the target, it's probably gonna be very close. I'm still giving the edge to SW though. Its presales are like 10x stronger than Spectre's ever were and it's truly the event film of the year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 That would be fantastic for both. Any chance either gets to 100M pounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Quote Latest Bond mission also takes more than Skyfall did over first seven days as records tumble. SONY As expected, having posted a record-breaking Tuesdayand Wednesday, Spectre has now officially recorded the biggest opening of all time at the UK box office. Sony’s latest Bond mission took a whopping confirmed $63.9m (£41.3m) from its 651 sites, including $33m (£21.32m) from Mon-Thurs, taking it past Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’s long-standing $36.91m (£23.88m) record from 535 sites, also from a seven-day opening. In terms of opening Fri-Sun tallies, Spectre’s $30.88m (£19.98m) ranks third behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’s $36.71m (£23.75m) from 582 sites, and narrowly behind Skyfall’s $31.19m (£20.18m) from 587 sites. Skyfall opened more traditionally on a Friday and did also hold the record for the biggest first seven days at the UK box office with $57.71m (£37.33m), a record that now belongs to Spectre and technically it did it in even less time given it only opened on Monday night. Another Skyfall record that will be firmly within Spectre’s sights is that of being the fastest film to £50m at the UK box office, a feat Skyfall achieved in 10 days. Spectrehas three days to make $13.45m (£8.7m) and, difficult though it seems, you wouldn’t yet bet against it. Now all that remains to be seen is if Spectre can showcase the same extraordinary legs that Skyfall did on its way to $159m (£102.88m), including a stunning $24.9m (£16.11m) second weekend which currently ranks as the highest ever. Not content with Bond setting every record going, Sony also dominated the children’s market over this past week as Hotel Transylvania 2 boosted 14% on its way to a $3.7m (£2.4m) third weekend. The animated sequel is now up to an excellent $24.8m (£16.03m) after it added over $6.2m (£4m) over Mon-Thurs as it took full advantage of being the main (and newest) animation out over the school holidays. WARNER BROS Sailing to a further $1.2m (£784,000) in its third weekend was Warner Bros’ Pan which also prospered despite the arrival of Spectre. The fantasy prequel added around $2.8m (£1.8m) over Mon-Thurs and has now taken a solid $11.1m (£7.16m) in the UK. Barring a late surge, it will likely end its run as director Joe Wright’s third best performer. PARAMOUNT Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension held well in its second weekend dropping just 27% (excluding previews) as it scared up $1.1m (£705,000). Paramount’s latest instalment in the found footage series is now up to $4.6m (£2.96m) and while it won’t come close to any of the first three’s £10m-£11m tallies, it has avoided being the lowest grossing outing of the series, surpassing The Marked Ones $4.5m (£2.9m). FOX Rounding off this week’s top five was Suffragette with a non-final $915,000 (£590,800) third weekend. Fox’s drama is now up to a sturdy $11.5m (£7.44m) and is still pulling in healthy midweek numbers, taking just over $1.5m (£1m) over the past Mon-Thurs. If it keeps that going, it has a great chance of cracking £10m. Also for Fox, The Martian recorded its first big drop with the arrival of Spectre as it posted a non-final $913,000 (£589,684) fifth weekend for a strong $33.7m (£21.8m) to date. It is now Ridley Scott’s third biggest UK result. Shandaar and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials have grossed $399,000 (£257,599) and $13.8m (£8.89m), respectively. EONE Posting a hefty drop of almost 60% (excluding previews),The Last Witch Hunter struggled in its second weekend. eOne’s action fantasy took $597,000 (£385,670) for $3.4m (£2.2m) to date. DISNEY Leaping back into the top ten in its 15th weekend, Disney’s Inside Out had a considerable boost over the half term, grossing $241,000 (£156,000) to lift its UK tally to a mighty $60.2m (£38.91m). UNIVERSAL Crimson Peak suffered another big drop in its third weekend on its way to $237,000 (£153,312) for $3.6m (£2.34m) to date through Universal, one of Guillermo del Toro’s lowest results for an English-language film. Also for Universal, Minions is still hanging around with a $151,000 (£97,365) 19th weekend for a terrific $73m (£47.19m) to date, while Everest has now scaled $16.3m (£10.56m) as it nears the end of its run. PICTUREHOUSE ENTERTAINMENT Edging towards the £1m mark, Picturehouse Entertainment’s The Lobster clawed its way to a further $166,000 (£107,116) from its 59 sites for $1.4m (£881,363) to date, an impressive performance for what is undoubtedly a tricky sell. LIONSGATE In its fourth weekend, Lionsgate’s Sicario shot to an extra $157,000 (£101,646) for $7.1m (£4.62m) to date. STUDIOCANAL For StudioCanal, Legend and Macbeth have amassed $28.1m (£18.2m) and $4.1m (£2.65m), respectively, after weekends of $92,000 (£59,351) and $49,000 (£31,579). NEW WAVE FILMS Jafar Panahi’s Taxi Tehran posted a decent $43,000 (£27,892) UK bow from its 18 sites through New Wave Films. VERTIGO FILMS Released in four sites through Vertigo Films, Black Soulsrecorded a UK debut of $3,000 (£1,934). UPCOMING RELEASES This week sees saturation releases for Paramount’sScouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (following previews on Oct 31), Lionsgate’s Brooklyn and Entertainment’s Burnt. StudioCanal’s Kill Your Friends and Fox’s He Named Me Malala both receive wide releases, while High Fliers’ The Runner and Park Circus’ re-release of Brief Encounterare among the films receiving a limited release. Hotel Transylvania 2 had a huge half term! Should comfortably pass $30m. The Martian will pass $35m this weekend. Very nice for Inside Out to pass $60m, too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgess Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Any update on Spectre's Monday numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hopefully Alfred has some figures. There's no reason to believe Spectre will fall harder than 40% this weekend. Skyfall fell 20%, CR fell 25% and QoS fell 40%. Giving it a 35% drop from the 3 day would mean a £13m 2nd weekend. Weekdays will probably be around £10m, giving Spectre a total of £64m ($98m) by Sunday. Depending on how it holds, $100m may be a possibility. That would be a truly unprecedented achievement.

The Dark Alfred Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Tuesday £2.6m. 10% increase from Monday. £80m is a lock, but Skyfall is safe...until SW anyway. It will beat Spectre easily, industry insiders all expect £90m minimum. What a year ? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quigley Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 6 hours ago, Bond Bug said: I REFUSE to believe it! It all sounds exciting to me. If the Good Dinosaur also reaches $800M (like Inside Out) and Star Wars 7 out-grosses Jurassic World, then Disney can really dominate the end-of-year headlines. I still think Universal will be #1 in yearly studio gross, but if Star Wars 7 can leave Jurassic World in the dust, no one will care. The thing is I'd rather not belive the hype for SW7 yet. Better to be surprised than disappointed. As for the UK, I'm not really a fan of either Bond (especially Spectre) or Star Wars, so whichever finishes in first place, it's fine by me.

solaris Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 So.. if Spectre finishes anywhere above £80m (looking more likely than not atm) then it'll Avatar out of the number 3 all time spot in the UK. The REAL question is - can TFA push itself into the number 2 spot by topping the almighty Titanic (£94m)? I mean, Star Wars is big here but i don't ever remember it being THAT big.
