Spectre with it's 7 day opener is basically cheating but I can't see it doing anywhere near 63.7 million with the pound getting killed and only 4 days. Personally I think the talk of the legs being as short as Infinity War is a bit premature. Yeah it's front loaded as all get but it has nothing to compete against until May 10th and I'm not sure how that will even do in the UK. I'll go 52 million OW, 135 total in UK. Ridiculous but I'm hoping they appreciate the quality. Wednesday 11am oh yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre did 41.3 million pounds in an entire week. Gbp currency was worth about 15% more back in late October 2015. $10 million less than the weekly figure. However Spectre had a monstrous hold it will not be able to repeat I'm afraid. Who knows we'll see but I doubt it.

Heretic Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Pretty sure this number will go up, maybe by a £1m or more. I don’t believe that Sunday was less than £9m. Either way, an incredible number, beating Spectre’s opening week in 4 days and annihilating all other opening records. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I can't wait to see the top 12 cinemas in the UK, I reckon either BFI IMAX or the Cineworld O2 could be number 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrestrial Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) 'Avengers: Endgame' smashes UK box office opening record with £41.6m see next post, its £43.4m More Quote Avengers: Endgame, the final entry in the current cycle of Marvel comic book films, lived up to its hype this weekend, tumbling box office records around the globe. As part of its remarkable £930m ($1.2bn) global debut, the film posted a provisional four-day £41.6m ($53.8m) opening in the UK, with a final figure to come later today. That number beats the all-time UK box office opening record, which was James Bond film Spectre on £41.3m back in October 2015. Remarkably, Spectre’s figure was across seven days after a Monday opening, i.e. four days of previews (Mon-Thurs, when it took £21.3m) and then the three-day opening weekend (£20m). Endgame has topped that figure in just four days. It has also broken the Fri-Sun opening weekend record of £24.33m held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Disney confirmed to Screen, with that figure still being finalised. That means the Marvel film also comfortably topped the previous entry in the franchise, last year’s Avengers: Infinity War, which had £23.1m Fri-Sun and £29.4m including the Thursday. Endgame opened in around 670 sites this weekend. More to follow. They post usually a lot more about other titles too, I guess they are still wording that https://www.screendaily.com/news/avengers-endgame-smashes-uk-box-office-opening-record-with-416m/5138849.article Edited April 29, 2019 by terrestrial 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Just unbelievable. We really won’t see another film top this for a LONG time. I think it’ll hit £80m by next Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
