Plus I'm happy to pop in to London for the Prince Charles Cinema on a dime as well. Oh, and Another Round is fantastic! one of the best movie experiences for me in years.

Krissykins Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 ~£7m opening for Black Widow. Hopefully it has good legs when the football is (finally) over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPLC Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Are you ok in the UK 😅 ? It's a whole country that must be sad and disappointed tonight, which may perhaps be a less strong box office for films this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Scottish and Welsh were rooting for England to lose so box office should be fine there.

Krissykins Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Looks like people did go and see it. 1. Black Widow £6.9m (£11,077 pta) 2. F9 £1.1m £13m -58.9% 3. Peter Rabbit 2 £510k £18.2m -38.6% 4. A Quiet Place 2 £254k £10.9m -40% 5. In The Heights £232k £3.8m -50% 6. Cruella £232k £8.9m -45.7% 7. Hitman’s Wife £129k -56.9% £3.5m 8. Conjuring 3 £128k £9.1m -43.8% 9. Freaky £106k £689k -68% 10. Another Round £97k £424k -25% 5th out of 10 for MCU first solo outings. 16th out of all 24. The Conjuring 3 and A Quiet Place 2 are both just ~£1.2m-£1.4m under their predecessors released without a pandemic. Impressive.

Dandeak2000 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 5 hours ago, Quigley said: So BW opened higher than F9 right? In the 5-day vs 4-day opening, Black Widow grossed £6.9M vs. F9's £6M In terms of actual FSS, Black Widow opened to £4.6M vs. £4.8M for F9 making it the second biggest 3-day opening since the beginning of the pandemic. (according to Screen Daily, who tend to be quite close with estimates Article found here) Of course, the main reason is due to the final of the Euro's having an effect on Sunday business as well as opening day possible being hampered by the semi-final game as has been discussed already. I think it is safe to assume that Black Widow would have opened higher than F9 if there wasn't a finals football match on Sunday, personally I could have seen £5M weekend with £7.5M for the 5-day had the two football matches not effected the total. But, given the easing of restrictions in 6 days on the 19th I think it may make it up in the long run. For a look at what kind of effect football can have on the box office - Another Round fell 25% this weekend, but on Friday the film was up 3%, Saturday was up 23%, while Sunday was down 71% from last week. All films fell more than normal this weekend with Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway which has been seeing miniscule drops the past couple weeks dropped 38.6%, not a bad drop by any means but most likely one that has been worsened by the Final of the Euros 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Black Widow is the first pandemic area film to have a single day over £2m. Saturday was £2.1m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxofficerules Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 They must not be expecting much from Escape Room 2 over here, my local only has 3 screenings of it, they have 6 for The Forever Purge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
