Robertron Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 £5-6m five days seems about right, American Pie had the advantage of a Bank Holiday weekend but the Dictator will attract an audience as it's only a 15.How did Borat and Bruno open?

The Dark Alfred Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I enjoyed Piranha. Wasn't as good as the first one, way less gore, but it's fun. Hoff was great. I expect minimum £6m for Dictator. DS bombed, it's losing IMAX, TA back full week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 How did Borat and Bruno open? Borat was around £6m and Brüno was £5m, which is one of the biggest 18 rated launches ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 The Dictator has 44 showings at my cinema this weekend! It's orange Wednesday, so cinemas are going to be absolutely rammed this evening. The Dictator is already doing quite well this afternoon, and tonight, I expect it to be pretty packed. The Avengers has already sold over 50% of tickets for its IMAX showing tonight. Will likely sell-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Wow, beats the 14 at my local. Should do very well tonight though, my screening that just finished had about 40 people in, so I can see the two evening shows selling out for definite. I loved it too, really funny, it's just a shame Baron Cohen copped out at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Ok. I was about to freak out then.Didnt POTC4 have something like 65 shows in one day somewhere?65 in one day? I highly doubt that. I mean, how many screens would you need for that?DH2 had SO many though. It was an insane, insane, insane weekend. At my cinema, there was like 5 midnight shows, which is unprecedented for the UK. Then during the day, there were shows from 8:30 in the morning, every 20 minutes until like 1am.

Maybe at the the busiest ODEON cinema, Trafford Centre. It always has loads of showtimes for films, even the less popular ones.http://www.odeon.co....film_times/s20/ Edited May 17, 2012 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Wow, The Avenger's is doing VERY well around my area this afternoon. It looks on par with last weekend. I expect a small drop.I think £3m could happen, which is a sub 30% drop, but due to the sucky exchange rate, that would only be around $4.7m. Hoping for $72m-ish total by Sunday.The Dictator looked really busy last night, but day business is weak compared to The Avengers. That's expected though. It's definitely a night movie. $7-$8m seems to a reasonable expectation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 What are people seeing as possible for Men In Black next week?? £4m/5m seems reasonable IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Will Smith is extremely popular here.MIB2 opened to £6.2m 3 day and did over £20m back in 2002.With inflation and 3D, that would probably equate to around £10m. But it won't get that high.£5-6m seems like a good target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
