JCS Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 It was a -49% drop which is very good considering weather and Olympics!TDKR up to £30.7m ($47.9m) now which is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 That's great for TDKR! With holidays for a month it should definitely reach £50m and possibly beat TA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 That's great for TDKR! With holidays for a month it should definitely reach £50m and possibly beat TA.Just checked TDK's gross and it was only £48.7m, but converted to $89m. That exchange rate has gone completely into the shitter over the last 4 years, hasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 It changed a lot even during 2008. TDK beat QoS in dollars, but lost in pounds. It will be the same story with TDKR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) That's great for TDKR! With holidays for a month it should definitely reach £50m and possibly beat TA.I hope so! I have already contributed twice to the TDKR gross and possibly more times! Every little helps. Just checked TDK's gross and it was only £48.7m, but converted to $89m. That exchange rate has gone completely into the shitter over the last 4 years, hasn't it? It changed a lot even during 2008. TDK beat QoS in dollars, but lost in pounds. It will be the same story with TDKR.Indeed, TDKR should beat TDK in £ but won't get close in $ due to exchange rate changes since 2008.However, the Yen-$ exchange rate has improved since 2008 so worldwide it probably balances out amongst other currencies and exchange rates.

Darth Homer Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 TDKR's second weekend about a million less than TA's, but it has school holidays to make up the difference. I think it'll be hit hard by Ted, though, so it'll be a close race for most successful superhero movie ever in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Saw Ted last night, it was genius. Tomorrow's going to be crazy at the cinemas, up there with The Inbetweeners OD methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I thought it would open on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I thought it would open on Friday.Ted opens tomorrow here in the UK. Sometimes films open on the Wednesday but you are right that Friday is the normal day for new releases.I feel Ted will be huge too (like in Australia) but not sure it can match the Inbetweeners as it is not British.

Jonwo Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Inbetweeners numbers are very unlikely but I think £5m five day opening is doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Inbetweeners numbers are very unlikely but I think £5m five day opening is doable.That would be a great opening.Considering The Hangover only opened with £3.2M in 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 That would be a great opening.Considering The Hangover only opened with £3.2M in 2009.Hangover was an unknown quantity whereas Ted has Seth Macfarlane which will draw in fans of his work. A £5m opening would be on par with The Dictator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A £5m opening would be on par with The Dictator.True, I expect it to beat The Hangover. However I compared them as they are both original US comedies with a 15 rating.Due to Family Guy's Seth Macfarlane as well as Wahlberg/Kunis; I too expect a £4-5M opening with great legs due to good WOM. Though it could open higher! Edited July 31, 2012 by JCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 TDKR has taken just 10 days to reach £30M whilst The Avengers took 12 days (with 3D!) and TDK took 15 days to reach the £30M mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good overall.Indeed, even more impressive when you factor in Olympics. Shows how great TDKR is doing in the UK!By the way, it is the fastest grossing film of 2012.

Heretic Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Ted is going to open very big.I could see £6m happening over the 5 day. It has a lot of showtimes, and pre-sales are looking very promising.As for TDKR, I think a £4.5m-ish weekend could happen, good enough for the highest 3 day weekend, so possibly close to £40m already.All films should rebound this week after great weather last week and the olympics opening ceremony on Friday. IA4 should eclipse £25m in the near future, as should Spiderman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The week of the 13th August is going to be big with three major releases in The Bourne Legacy, Brave and Expendables 2, Brave and Bourne have a seven day opening while E2 have 4 days, I reckon Brave will come out on top with Bourne and Expendables in second and third.
