Lol, that would be something considering you shut me down immediately when I suggested it a few days ago The higher the better, I just wanted to keep expectations in check but it seems like the UK is accepting this way more than other countries. Lets extrapolate again Fri: £4.4m Sat: £5.3m (+20%) Sun: £3.9m (-25%) £13.6m OW. If Saturday is bigger there's a chance this tops £14m, but I'd rather expect lower and be surprised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is your legacy. It seems to be doing well here too. It should easily beat all Potter movies. It's not about the WOM (which is good btw; 8.2 grade on Cinemagia), but rather the market expansion.

TimmyRiggins Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 It's doing especially great in the UK, as it should, but it's doing very well mostly everywhere really. South Korea is a beast especially ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 FB's OW will be third biggest this year excluding previews and fourth biggest with previews if it does £12-13m. £14m would put it within spitting distance of BvS and Civil War 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 It is doing massive business here in Portugal. It will be one of the top OWs of the year for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Just had a look around at a few cinemas, daytime business very strong again, on par with yesterday, or even better at some locations. Cineworld Crawley already has 7 sellouts today, and its 11:30am. Would surprise me if it's not in the top 10 locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Vue Westfield has added another show this afternoon to keep up with demand. I think this is heading for one of the biggest Sunday grosses ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
