Logan, £9-10m seems likely, I imagine it could get to £30m total which might be tricky with the huge competition in March. I have a feeling Kong is going to be squeezed as its released in between Logan and Beauty and the Beast £10M opening seems very high, doubt it will get near that much. edit: forgot it releases on Wednesday. Yeah that would be a very good number for it. Still think it's slightly optimistic though.

Heretic Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) I hope Kong does well, I personally think it looks great and can't wait to see it. Hopefully it's good. With Logan and then BatB however, it will definitely struggle to capitalise on its audience. Hoping it can at least have an opening of £5m or so. I've seen quite a few spots on tv for it, so it's not lacking in the marketing department. Edited February 28, 2017 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan9 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 UK box office: 'Logan' posts big opening as 'Moonlight' gets Oscar boost 6 MARCH, 2017 | BY IAN SANDWELL Fox’s latest X-Men offering scores second biggest debut of the franchise with non-final $11.6m (£9.43m). UK TOP FIVE Ranking Film/Distributor Weekend gross Running total 1 Logan (Fox) $11.6m (£9.43m) $11.6m (£9.43m) 2 The Lego Batman Movie (WB) $1.87m (£1.52m) $30.6m (£24.95m) 3 Viceroy’s House (Fox/Pathe) $1.12m (£916,134) $1.12m (£916,134) 4 Sing (Universal) $978,000 (£797,924) $33.7m (£27.48m) 5 Moonlight (Altitude) $891,000 (£727,000) $3.04m (£2.48m) (Note - Dollar conversions are based on today’s rates) FOX Following a strong critical response, Logan has clawed away all competition to debut top of the UK box office. Fox’s latest X-Men offering scored an excellent non-final $11.6m (£9.43m) bow from its 603 sites, including around $3.1m (£2.5m) in previews. Its Fri-Sun tally of $8.5m (£6.9m) would have also comfortably seen it land top spot. The opening marks the second-biggest overall debut of the Fox Marvel offerings, ahead of X-Men: Days Of Future Past’s $11.2m (£9.14m) from 537 sites, which included $1.96m (£1.6m) in previews. In the Fox Marvel pantheon the only film to open better is Deadpool which started out with $16.8m (£13.73m) from 543 sites, including $4.6m (£3.76m) in previews, on its way to $46.5m (£37.9m) in the UK. Also for Fox, Pathe’s Viceroy’s House charted third with a so-so $1.12m (£916,134) debut from its 455 sites, which marks director Gurinder Chadha’s fourth-best UK bow narrowly behind Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging. Viceroy’s House will hope to enjoy decent midweek returns given its older-skewing audience but it will need to hold off competition from resurgent Oscar winners. Hidden Figures and A Cure For Wellness stand at $5.6m (£4.57m) and $864,000 (£705,076), respectively. WARNER BROS Dethroned after three weeks as the UK’s number one, The Lego Batman Movie fell 48% with a $1.87m (£1.52m) fourth weekend. Warner Bros’ animation has now built up an excellent $30.6m (£24.95m) to date and, like Sing, needs to make the most of the next fortnight before Beauty And The Beast arrives on March 17. Also for Warner Bros, John Wick: Chapter 2 shot to a further $535,000 (£436,000) for $6.6m (£5.37m) after three weeks in play, while Fist Fight missed its target with an uninspiring $487,000 (£497,000) UK debut from its 393 sites. UNIVERSAL Sing fell 46% on its way to a $978,000 (£797,924) sixth weekend as it dropped to fourth. Universal’s latest Illumination Entertainment hit has now amassed $33.7m (£27.48m) in the UK and should still hit £30m, although it won’t catch The Secret Life Of Pets which took $44.6m (£36.4m). Also for Universal, Fifty Shades Darker fell 53% with an $869,000 (£708,785) fourth weekend for $26.9m (£21.93m) to date, making it the fourth-biggest 18-rated film of all time in the UK. It will overtake Gone Girl ($27.6m/£22.5m) and The Wolf Of Wall Street ($27.7m/£22.6m) to become the second biggest 18-rated feature by the end of its run. The Great Wall and Split have grossed $5.2m (£4.24m) and $13.7m (£11.18m), respectively. ALTITUDE Following its dramatic Best Picture win, Moonlight boosted 85% with a non-final $891,000 (£727,000) third weekend from its 322 reported sites so far. Altitude’s drama is now up to a strong $3.04m (£2.48m) and, impressively, its site average of $2,608 (£2,127) remained around the same as last week, despite the film almost doubling its sites. The result puts Moonlight into the UK’s top five for the first time. ENTERTAINMENT Despite missing out at the Oscars, Lion continued its outstanding UK run by dropping only 24% with a $646,000 (£527,572) seventh weekend. Entertainment’s real-life drama has now journeyed to $12.5m (£10.22m) making it the second highest-grossing Best Picture 2017 nominee in the UK, as well as meaning it’s now grossed more than eight times its $1.56m (£1.27m) opening. LIONSGATE Following its Oscar wins, Lionsgate’s La La Land dropped 40% with a $356,000 (£290,000) eighth weekend for a dazzling $36.6m (£29.81m) to date. Also for Lionsgate, Patriots Day dropped 65% (excluding previews) in its second weekend, taking $318,000 (£259,000) for $1.83m (£1.49m) so far, while Hacksaw Ridge has now fought to $6.72m (£5.48m). Trespass Against Us recorded a very soft $40,000 (£33,000) from its 87 sites. PARAMOUNT In its fourth week, Paramount’s Fences added a non-final $163,000 (£132,912) from its 278 sites for $1.9m (£1.55m) to date. UPCOMING RELEASES This week sees a saturation release for Warner Bros’ Kong: Skull Island (opens March 9) and a wide release for Vertigo Releasing’s The Time Of Their Lives. Trafalgar Releasing’s (Lyn Goleby’s newly launched outfit) Elle, Studiocanal’s The Chamber, Dogwoof’s Dancer and Icon Film Distribution’s The Love Witch are among the films receiving a limited release. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Great opening for Logan, it should make it to the £25m mark at least. Another amazing week for Lion, probably the most impressive run of the year thus far. As for this week, Kong arrives on Thursday, expecting around £5m 4-day.
