Heretic Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 If it is indeed around £2m, that would be the biggest shock of the year.The Avengers made £2.5m, which means Ted would have matched or possibly even beaten it in admissions. And it had considerably less showtimes. Bloody hell.Possible £8m+ opener on our hands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 That's fantastic for TDKR too. Should definitely be over £40m by Sunday then.The UK box office is on fire! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Avengers opened on a Thursday which which is usually a slow day for cinema whereas Wednesdays tend to be the busiest outside of the weekend. Ted's success isn't really surprising considering how well it did in America and Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 A £2m opening day is shocking. It has no built in audience at all, it's not a blockbuster film and it's rated 15. Sure, I expected it to do very well, but not this well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I told you guys. Ted will be one of the biggest in UK, easily top 5 of 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not strictly true as it's been advertised as Seth Macfarlane, the creator of Family Guy first motion picture so there is sort of a built in audience when you consider how popular Family Guy is.

Ted will be one of the biggest in UK, easily top 5 of 2012.Top five is very unlikely, top ten maybe as it'll outgrossed by Skyfall, The Hobbit and possibly Breaking Dawn Part II.

To come within £500k of The Inbetweeners movie's opening day, which was an INSANELY popular show, is quite shocking.The same multiplier would give Ted a £10.5m opening. I think it'll fall short of that though, but I don't see how it misses the £8m mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDKR I imagine will have another good drop this weekenda as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDKR I imagine will have another good drop this weekenda as well.TDK dropped 39% in its 3rd weekend. If TDKR were to follow, that would give it about £4.4m, and somewhere likely around £40-41m in total, compared to £34.7m for TDK at the same point in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 LOL yeah looking that way and TDKR prob over 1.8 for the dayHeretic, RTH is saying $LC1.8M for thursday for TDK. Still you see only 4.4M for the weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourne and Expendables will likely eat into its audience but it'll have made over £40m by the time they're both out,TH, SKYFALL, TDKR,TA and then Ted. No ?I'm thinking The Hobbit, Skyfall, TDKR, Avengers and Breaking Dawn Part II with Ted in sixth or seventh place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Heretic, RTH is saying $LC1.8M for thursday for TDK. Still you see only 4.4M for the weekend?Well, Wednesdays are inflated due to 2 for 1 deals by Orange. So somewhere between £4-5m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 TDK did $89m in UK, which is :o :oIs TDKR likely to top it or fall behind?Definitely over in pounds. But it'll be very close in dollars. Could be anything in the $80-90m range right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 TDK did $89m in UK, which is :o :oIs TDKR likely to top it or fall behind?Exchange rate has fallen off a cliff since 2008. TDK made £48.7 million. That same amount in 2012 would be $75.7 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
