Heretic Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 You really think the weather will play that big a role in its OW? What are you predicting its OW will be if 1.5m could easily be taken off because of something like the weather? Easily. This is the first hot weather of the year. No one will want to go to the cinema. That's if it holds up though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lab276 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think the weather affecting the box office thing is a foreign concept in Australia since we, at least in Sydney, get pretty good weather throughout the year. I've never actually noticed it affect the box office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually noticed it affect the box office.Neither have I, at least not here.The most obvious I can recall is Avatars DOM OW - 2m drop from 1st to second weekend!?But I guess with the UK being freezing one day, and iceberg rivers the next, a day above 20 degrees must be god-like, aye?

The first sunny weekend of the summer is always a depressed weekend here. If it does stay nice, i'd say £4m would probably be the cap.

Jonwo Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I think Men in Black 3 wil be fine, I still see a £4m OW which is decent but not great. I wonder if people will hold out until the four day bank holiday to see the likes of Prometheus, Snow White and MIB3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadDevil Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I wonder what impact the queens jubilee will have on films over the bank holiday period, can't see many people going to the cinemas on Tuesday, unless they're trying to escape all the jubilee craziness, lol.

Heretic Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) It's a big holiday weekend so it'll probably boost BO overall, but one or two days may be down...It;s 28 degrees today... And 30 degrees could be hit tomorrow. Hottest may day for 20 years. No ones going to the cinema. Edited May 23, 2012 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Watched AA in Vue Extreme. Don't bother go there, such a ripoff. The screen isn't that huge at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Just to let people know, here in Scotland it was 30degrees yesterday.Today it's 28. Sat-Mon have to be mid-20's.This will affect BO. A lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I think MIB3's boxoffice will be affected by the weather this week but I can see it having good legs given its the only family friendly film out for another month, Prometheus and Snow White should do well next well although Prometheus will edge due to it being 3D.

SchumacherFTW Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 If deadline's weekend article is accurate, MIB3 did $5m here at the weekend. Under my cap of £4m. That's gotta be blamed on the weather, £5.5m+ should have been easy otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 That's pretty awful.It's cooling down this week so BO should return to normal soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Homer Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 So where does everyone think Avengers will end up on the all-time UK box office chart? I'm hoping it can get to at least 52 million pounds (which should be good for #15 all-time, I believe). Pretty amazing considering superhero movies are a lot less popular in the UK than the US. Dark Knight "only" did 49.1 million by comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
