DeeCee Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 There's probably a lot of Australians over there for the olympics spreading the great WOM about Ted.When you're saying with previews do you mean just the wed/thu for Ted or were there screenings before Wednesday?

SchumacherFTW Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 There was a screening at cineworlds for loyal customers on Monday, but I don't know what cut of that went to Universal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Why are the UK charts different on SD and BOM, both are showing different grosses? (I always use BOM, but weird to see SD showing different grosses).http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/uk/?yr=2012&wk=30&p=.htmhttp://boxoffice.screendaily.com/countries/9/charts/latest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 It's probably due to exchange rate fluctuations when numbers are posted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Humongous $14.3m opening for Ted. Incredibly impressive for a film that has to deal with all the Olympics hype at the moment, with no built in audience or 3d. Definitely the opening of the year.

Jonwo Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 With no competition next week apart from Step Up 4, I think Ted will have a good drop, even a 50-60% drop would mean £4.5-5m, I doubt it'll increase. £30m+ total is very likely at this possible, £40m would need stellar legs and given the upcoming competition, it's unlikely, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 £30m would be astounding. I'd have never expected that. I was expecting maybe 30m, but in dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I think its legs will tell where it falls, I reckon it'll match Hangover Part II or fall a little bit short. But £30m for an American comedy is still amazing, only The Hangover and Bridesmaids have done over £20m in the last few years but both have stellar legs,.

JCS Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 It's probably due to exchange rate fluctuations when numbers are posted...I guess so, they should the same daily/weekly exchange rate to avoid so much change though.Humongous $14.3m opening for Ted. Incredibly impressive for a film that has to deal with all the Olympics hype at the moment, with no built in audience or 3d. Definitely the opening of the year.Which works out around £9.1M OW for us UK folk... which is flippin' amazing!Should hit £30M+ now over the summer.

JCS Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 TDKR did £4.3M ($6.75M) in its 3rd weekend and now up to £40.9M ($63.9M) already!Saw it today for 3rd time at Vue Westfield and it was still really busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
