Could swap Lego Batman's numbers include last week's previews so its real OW is just over £5m. Still impressive, I imagine LB had a low Friday but a huge Saturday and Sunday and 50 Shades had a high Friday but fell on Saturday and Sunday. I wouldn't be surprised if Lego Batman gets number 1 next week, it won't stay flat or increase like The Lego Movie did but a small drop wouldn't surprise me.

SchumacherFTW Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Considering the preview number last week for Lego Batman, that's a really good OW if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatebox Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 My girlfriend tried to see T2 this evening at a fairly big south london cinema but it was sold out, which seems pretty crazy this late into the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 T2 is only on week 3 and it'll be in the smaller auditoriums now with so much competition. Really surprised how well Fifty Shades is holding up here - definitely doing better than I though it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'll be curious to see the top 10 cinemas. I won't be surprised if Vue Westfield London has two entries with Fifty Shades and Lego Batman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Big increase for Lego Batman and it got to number 1, that numbers is only slightly lower than The Lego Movie's OW Sing is holding up well although I think Lego Batman has dented it since its drops are high compared to SLOP which might make £30m tricky.

Heretic Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Just a note, not all schools actually have half term this week. Most in London do, but in a lot of other places schools are off next week instead of this one. Also, Lion is having an excellent run. Hopefully it can leg its way to £10m with the holds it's having. That'd be a near 8x multiplier from its opening. Edited February 14, 2017 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Quote The Bafta bounce: La La Land and Lion At the weekend, the arrival of Lego Batman and Fifty Shades Darker at thousands of screens saw existing films in the market shedding sites, moving into smaller screen capacities and losing showtimes. The likes of T2 Trainspotting (down 52%) and La La Land (down 48%) suffered their biggest falls to date. But La La Land bounced back on Monday, boosted by those five Bafta wins including best film. The week before, La La Land grossed £203,000 on the Monday. This week it took £225,000. In other words, instead of seeing box office fall by nearly half, as it did at the weekend, La La Land rose 11% on the previous Monday. With Dev Patel’s surprise supporting actor win figuring strongly in the Bafta conversation, the boost for Lion was even bigger. At the weekend, Lion fell 13% on the previous frame, but Monday was a different story. Lion grossed £170,000 yesterday, compared to £125,000 the previous Monday, a rise of 36%. The Monday boost for Lion was icing on the cake for a film that has held up particularly strongly ever since its release on 20 January. True, Lion has consistently grossed less than La La Land each weekend, but the gap has narrowed with each passing week. On its opening weekend, Lion grossed £3.1m less than La La Land did over that three-day period (£4.37m v £1.27m). For the latest session, the gap was just £196,000 (£949,000 v £753,000). Lion has now reached £6.4m, which is five times its opening weekend number. There looks to be a long way to go for Lion, as long as it can hold its cinema screens in this competitive marketplace. Very nice. Edited February 15, 2017 by Heretic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 £2m for Fifty Shades on Valentine's Day. We've had a mega week on Lego Batman and Sing. Lego especially the figures must be insane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 This weekend will be very busy again. It's been non-stop so far in 2017, must be one of the biggest starts to the year ever. I expect Lego-Movie will retain the number 1 spot this weekend, with a total around the £15m mark. And there's a whole slate of new releases. Among them, John Wick 2 and Hidden Figures should do pretty well. The Great Wall has IMAX screens and it's been advertised quite heavily, so it could pull in a decent figure too. There's also Moonlight which I'm sure will play well with its target audience. Lion and La La Land I imagine will have very soft drops this weekend in light of the Bafta's. There should be at least 5 or 6 films above £1m this weekend, which shows how saturated the market is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) I have a feeling that The Wall is going to struggle against the new releases and the holdovers, Fences will do well as its open wide today and it had a strong PTA last weekend 2 hours ago, PhilipJ2001 said: £2m for Fifty Shades on Valentine's Day. We've had a mega week on Lego Batman and Sing. Lego especially the figures must be insane Lego Batman did seem to hurt Sing a little in its previews and OW but both seem to be coexisting just fine. Fifty Shades did well on Valentine's Day although I expect it'll going to have a huge drop Edited February 17, 2017 by Jonwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
