JCS Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Solid OW for TDKR but I thought it would do a tad higher... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's an excellent opening, and completely obliterates even The Avenger's 4 day opening in terms of admissions. Easily the biggest 3 day weekend for a superhero movie ever, and one of the biggest openings ever too. My expectations were a bit high, I do admit.

The Gotham Bank Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I myself am very pleased with that number as long as it performs similar in the majority of the OS markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The £14.3m is just under the £15-16m prediction but I think the weather on Sunday played a small part but for a 2D film at almost three hours, it's a great result and it still has the rest of the summer to go.

Robertron Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 What a brilliant opening! How did TDK compare - in local currency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 What a brilliant opening!How did TDK compare - in local currency?About 21% higher than TDK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlazer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 About 21% higher than TDK.That is quite a good jump. Shame about the doller being stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 £4-5M during the week for TDKR hopefully at least. Should help guage the legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 That seems about right. Had it not been for this weather, £7-8m probably could have been possible.TDRK dropped only 40% in it's second weekend. I guess it depends on how much Friday is effected, but TDRK will probably be nearer 50%, so possibly around £25m by Sunday.After that it should rebound nicely with 5 weeks of holidays.

SchumacherFTW Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ted's going to make a dent in its third weekend, it's already chewing up screens at cineworlds for Weds and Thurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) The Dark Knight Rises has achieved the biggest three-day opening of 2012, since Avengers Assemble's £15.78m debut included £2.55m in previews.Great for TDKR! Based on a heroic costumed comicbook vigilante, The Amazing Spider-Man was always going to face a tough challenge with the arrival of The Dark Knight Rises. And so it proved to be, with the webslinger tumbling 73% from the previous weekendOuch, expected a drop but not that big!The Amazing Spider-Man is the seventh title released this year to pass £20m, following The Woman in Black, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Hunger Games, Marvel Avengers Assemble, Prometheus and Men in Black 3. At this time last year, six 2011 releases had passed the threshold: The King's Speech, Tangled, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, The Hangover: Part 2, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. It's impressive that 2012 is more than holding its own against last year with regard to this particular measure, especially when you consider international football made much of June a no-go area for potential blockbusters.2012 looking much better than 2011!

Fullbuster Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I wonder about the extent of the Olympics effect in the UK.The UK market seems healthy with a good growth, that's great, particularly with a stagnant economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah, this year has been very good compared to most of Europe and Japan. Bond and Hobbit will likely provide 2 more £50m+ grosses.UK and Australia have been very strong so far.Regarding the olympics, Friday's opening ceremony may have quite a significant impact as it'll probably break the ratings records. But after that the effect shouldn't be to severe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 the opening ceremony doesn't start until 9pm so it shouldn't affect day business much on friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 I guess. But there are things happening all day on the BBC like countdowns etc and probably events around the country. Hopefully it's not too effected, but night time is when TDKR does its most business... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 It only kicks off on Saturday. Evening business will be still huge. We're dead for the early shows, however the peak showings are nearly sold out for the entire second weekend already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bballman24 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I actually did not think it would be this big.Surprised in a good way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Ice Age should become the eighth £20m film within the week, the article doesn't mention that Bridesmaids also grossed over £20m but I don't think it hit it by this stage last year. August doesn't look like it'll have an Inbetweener like film but I imagine Ted and Brave will break £20m.British films once again are doing well and while War Horse and The Pirates! didn't quite crack £20m, they still did very well and we still have Skyfall coming in October as well as The Sweeney in September.
