darthdevidem01 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 11 minutes ago, Heretic said: Unfortunately admissions in the UK aren't really tracked, we rarely get data on it. However, Lumiere tracks admissions for films in European countries. According to them, Skyfall's admissions were 16.15m, DH2 12.06m, Avatar 16.5m and Titanic 18.9m. It seems strange that Avatar, having grossed £8m less than Skyfall and having 3D would have more admissions, but there's a lot to take into account like 3D shares and premiums, as well as share of adults/kids, as kids tickets are cheaper etc etc. Obviously we have no clue what kind of 3D share or adult-child ratio SW is having, but I'm sure its admissions will be somewhere in the 15-20m range by the end of its run. Thanks ! Awesome to aee sw7 will be in the giga admissions league! If ep 8 has a skyfall to spectre type drop in the uk we're in for another huge film in 2017 too!

Heretic Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 In the Heart of the sea has bombed massively. Daddy's Home is doing well, but I think Dirty Grandpa later in January could he huge, like Bad Neighbours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's crazy! It does give that impression, until you realize its totally false, as ticket prices in the UK go up at quite a noticeable rate from year to year. Hence why the UK film chart is totally dominated by films from just recent years. The reality is, if these films had their grosses adjusted for inflation, or were actually based on admissions, most of these films would be no where near the top of the box office list in the UK. As an example the films currently in the top 10 UK film list, generally had admissions estimated in the region between 15-20 million. Whereas films such as Gone with the Wind and The Sound of Music, had admissions estimated as 35 million and 30 million respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFI (British Film Institute), official All-time UK film chart with inflation adjusted figures for 2014, for films since 1975. 1. Titanic £110 mil 1998/2012 2. Skyfall £106.5 mil 2012 3. Avatar £104.3 mil 2009 4. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone £90.2 mil 2001 5. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring £85.9 mil 2001 6. Jaws £81.3 mil 1975 7. Toy Story 3 £79.5 mil 2010 8. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King £79.4 mil 2003 9. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace £77.6 mil 1999 10. Mamma Mia! £77.5 mil 2008 Note 1. Obviously 2015 films:- SWTFA & Spectre, will now appear on this list when it gets updated for 2015. Note 2. The original Star Wars film is 15th on the all-time list with £75.7 mil adjusted Note 3. I cant believe Mamma Mia is on this list Edited December 30, 2015 by mepal1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 how on earth does Avatar get closer to Skyfall considering it had 3d and had high 3d ratio as well while skyfall was 2d film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure what your saying here, but if its based on the inflation adjusted figures, then Avatar would benefit quite a bit more than Skyfall, due to it being an older film, hence the ticket price adjustments would be higher.

Heretic Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) I think he means admissions, in which case it's far too complicated to even calculate. Maybe Avatar had a much higher child-adult ratio, but I highly doubt those admission figures are accurate anyway. And there's no point talking about films like Gone with the Wind and Sound of Music when annual admissions in those days were past the billion mark. Now they're like 170m. The dynamics of cinema have changed completely. 15m in this day and age is incredible. Edited December 30, 2015 by Heretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this chart only takes inflation into account, i.e. the general increase in the price of goods and services. I don't think it takes ticket prices into account - and certainly not admissions, which are more difficult to calculate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought adjusted numbers are based on ticket price inflation. But you cannot compare a 3d film vs 2d film. I am sure 3d factor would take average ticket price of Avatar way above skyfall. Especially since it released at the peak of 3d everywhere. Even SW7 is not having big 3d ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
