Damianport1 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Quote The weather is so bad today which will mean a very strong Wednesday for films. This is the thing i just dont get. should be other way around, good weather = more people in cinema, bad = less because they stay at home. at least its like that with me. When rains i do not have desire to go out anywhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the summer especially when the weather is bad and people have to find something to do (especially to entertain children on school holidays) the cinema is a good option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England is notorious for a lot of rainy weather. I don't blame people for taking advantage of the good weather and spend time outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasticBeasts Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I was watching the world athletics yesterday and those poor athletes had to compete in pouring rain! I remembered my time in London. I loved it in winter but summer is a mess.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) London has actually had a hot summer up until the middle of July, and since then it's been all down hill. Also, its 'rainy and cold' stereotype is a misconception. We have less rain than most major cities actually, just a lot more cloudy days and the rain is spread out evenly across the year instead a of a few months of continuous rain. You can be lucky and get a week where it's sunny every day with temps around 30. On the contrary you can get a week with temps around 20 with cloud and some rain. That's just how it is. Scotland on the other hand... its winter all year there and rains basically every day. Edited August 6, 2017 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Most holdovers dropping 40-45% apart from Girls Trip that's rebounding after a poor start. DK Sat was £1.9m, weekend looking close to £5m. Impressive, most people would have taken this as an OW. Emoji second, cume £2.6. Valerian tally £1.8. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Bigger drop for Dunkirk than expected but it's still an excellent result, and will pass £50m with ease which is way more than most ever expected. Diabolical for Valerian, probably won't even reach £5m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Weekend drops are bigger due to strong weekdays. Dunkirk's Wed were bigger than its Saturday. I can see DK doing a 4x multiplier from here with ease, £60m is happening. Edited August 6, 2017 by The Dark Alfred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emoji didn't do too badly although I can't imagine it'll have legs Will be interesting if Dunkirk can manage 4 weeks at number 1. Atomic Blonde could challenge it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Nah. AB won't open better than Baby Driver. Maybe 5-day it can match DK. 3-day Annabelle might pose a bigger challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it had an excellent drop last week so a harder drop was inevitable. Also weekends usually take a hit during the summer due to stronger weekdays.

It's like a 42% drop after it's had an absolutely exceptional 2 weeks, not to mention its abnormally large weekdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
