It'll open lower for sure but it'll have good legs since it's opening before Easter rather than October and it has a month to itself as Black Widow isn't out until May.

PhilipJ2001 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Is the coronavirus going to start having an effect on the box office do we think? At my cinema our regular Senior Screen show this week was noticeably quieter than usual, but it was Cats so could just have been that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipickthiswhiterose Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Inivisible Man with £2.2m opening weekend. (per Screendaily) Parasite now overtaken £10m and beating out Passion of the Christ is pretty much guaranteed. Amazing achievement. Sonic has overtaken Detective Pikachu with £14.7m ($18.8m). Call of the Wild collapsed pretty badly second weekend and is at £2.3 Emma, at £6.2, with a genuine chance of out-grossing Birds of Prey, at £8.4, in the UK. Made about twice the latter this weekend. One-off evening screening of The Lighthouse in Preston (handful of days expansion with most of them in the morning - just really weird) was about half full yesterday. Disappointed that films like this, Colour out of Space and Portrait OALOF aren't opening wider but that's the way of things. Has made as much (£1.3m) as Queen and Slim though which did open wide. Dark Waters also opened wide this weekend and didn't do too badly, just short of a mill. Downhill was DOA wide. Running tallies for Lil Women £22m ($28.2m), Bad Boys 4L £15.7m ($20.1m) , Dolittle £15.4m ($19.7m), Jojo Rabbit £7.9m ($10.1m), Frozen 2 £53.6m ($68.6m), Jumanji £36.7m ($47.0m) , Gentlemen £11.9m ($15.2m) Edited March 3, 2020 by Ipickthiswhiterose 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 TUESDAY'S TOP 5 TITLES: 1 - TheInvisibleMan 2 - Riverdance25 3 - DarkWaters 4 - Emma 5 - Parasite No family films at all in the top 5 yesterday (or Monday). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Dolittle dropped from my local, Sonic already down to two showings. Interestingly, Military Wives has more showings than Onward and also has the Superscreen to itself. Fantasy Island, The Photograph, Dark Waters and Invisible Man all 5 showings. The rest have one, two or three. Wonder if Military Wives can beat Onward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnokesLegs Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 1 hour ago, Krissykins said: Wonder if Military Wives can beat Onward? I highly doubt it. Military Wives is a ghost town looking at pre-sales for the London area. I’m surprised to see it getting premium formats too (it’s on the Dolby Cinema screen at Odeon Leicester Square...they’re going to have a quiet weekend...). I’d be surprised if it even beats the second weekend of The Invisible Man to be honest. It’ll likely do most of its business during the week as it seems like it’ll be older skewing. Onward will be an easy number 1 this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Onward will easily be number 1 due to having Leap Day previews. Military Wives probably will do Fisherman's Friends numbers and be a weekday performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Prebookings for Onward are looking really bad at my cinema. Military Wives looks like it will underperform compared to our hopes (we normally do really well with this kind of film). Hard to tell of course but we're estimating we're down about 25% in the last week on normal business levels. Can only see it getting worse with the coronavirus progressing.

Krissykins Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Disney topped the UK box office charts with Pixar animation Onward for the first time since the first week of January. The film grossed £2.6m on its three-day weekend and has £3.4m in total following previews on February 29. This is down on the openings of recent Disney-Pixar collaborations Toy Story 4 (£13.3m), Incredibles 2 (£9.6m) and Coco (£5.2m), as well as previous standalone hits Inside Out (£7.4m) and Up (£6.4m). The Call Of The Wild fell 63% on its third session with £188,000 taking it to £2.7m, while Bollywood threequel Baaghi 3 opened to £165,000. Universal Last week’s number one The Invisible Manposted a 28.9% fall with £1.5m. It has £5m after two weekends and is closing in on the top 10 grosses by Blumhouse Productions titles in the UK (2012’s Sinister currently 10th with £6.6m). Dolittle fell 56.7% with £362,179 taking it to £15.7m after five weekends; while Emma performed similarly, dropping 57.9% with £283,706 taking it to £7.1m after four weekends. Romance The Photograph struggled on opening, grossing just £29,671 from 179 locations, a low £166 average. Paramount Sonic The Hedgehog dropped 51% on its fourth weekend, with £951,000 taking it to an impressive £18.5m cume to date. Like A Boss added £38,000 for £982,000 Lionsgate Feelgood choir drama Military Wives opened to £890,307 from 671 locations, for a £1,327 average. Including previews, the film has £964,373. Curzon/Studiocanal Bong Joon Ho’s Oscar and Palme d’Or winner Parasite has now broken the record for highest-grossing non-English language film of all time in the UK. It grossed £528,864 on its fifth weekend, taking it to £11.5m in total – past the £11.1m of Mel Gibson’s 2004 title The Passion Of The Christ. Its fall of 49.2% on its previous session was its biggest to date; however, it is still to fall more than 50% on any weekend. It is the sixth highest-grossing 2020 release so far in the UK, behind 1917, Bad Boys For Life, Sonic The Hedgehog, Dolittle and The Gentlemen. eOne Todd Haynes’ Dark Waters fell 42% on its second weekend, with £499,276 bringing it to £1.9m to date. 1917 dropped 59.5% on its ninth session with £246,594 and is up to £43.4m; while More2Screen Event cinema release Riverdance 25thAnniversary Show took £320,961 and a £756 location average on its Tuesday, March 3 opening date. Through the weekend it has a £637,094 total amount. DC Extended Universe title Birds Of Preyadded £135,000 on its fifth session – a 62.3% drop – and has £8.7m in total. Curzon Céline Sciamma’s Portrait Of A Lady On Fireadded £91,009 on its second weekend, a decent drop of just 31.5%. It has £431,366 in total. It is now Sciamma’s highest-grossing film in the UK, heading towards double the £232,511 of 2015’s Girlhood. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Big drops this weekend, apart from The Invisible Man -28.9% (excellent). Military Wives really flopped despite it having more showtimes than Onward in some locations and all the premium formats. Onward opened low for Pixar.

wildphantom Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Sat in my local Everyman waiting for Emma to start. Only one in here - but still....kind of bliss, in the sad circumstances. Might as well see everything I can before it closes for a while, or we run out of new movies to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
