charlie Jatinder Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 WOW. £7.65M Week 1 would mean 8.1M admits in Week 1 for Star Wars. Seems way too high. Also way too frontloaded for time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipickthiswhiterose Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 1 hour ago, Krissykins said: On a side note, while looking at these lists: The Full Monty was the biggest film of all time in the UK at one point (before Titanic) and grossed £52.2m. In 1997. When tickets were £3.54. With a 15 certificate. for a film about unemployed Dad’s who decide to strip. What a cultural phenomenon. I remember it well. Entire friendship groups and office groups - especially of women - were going multiple times as whole parties. Extremely similar dynamics to what happened with both Mamma Mias and Bohemian Rhapsody, but even more so. Sort of like Black Panther in the US in terms of becoming driven by organised viewings by collective groups. It's phenomenon was forgotten quickish since Titanic came along so soon after. That was a wild back-to-back for UK cinemas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Jane Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) If we considering all-time ranking for each James Bond 007 Series have done it in UK ,then will be The Spy who loved me(2nd of all time after Jaws) Moonraker(4th of all time) For your eyes only(6th of all time) Casino Royale(6th of all time) Skyfall(Biggest of all time) Spectre(3rd Biggest of all time) I can't find Goldfinger and Thunderball performance in UK,but I reckon they have an impressive performance in UK,for their incredible performance across the world Edited October 23, 2021 by Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Was looking crazy busy around Leicester Square cinemas today, regardless of the movie the industry is in excellent shape right now. Fingers crossed this continues. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 The French Dispatch seems to be solid business, it has been screwed over in terms of film times due to opening in such a busy period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think NTTD may have won Fri-Sun as Deadline reports it fell by 46%. Edited October 24, 2021 by Jonwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTTD's weekend should include THU as well since in many overseas markets the weekend goes from THU to SUN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Dune's Thursday was £983k, so it would be very very close. We will know which movie really won this weekend with the actuals coming tomorrow.

Dandeak2000 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 So yeah it would be £4.53M of NTTD vs. Dune's FSS of £4.47M, really close and actuals could go either way in terms of number one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandeak2000 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 No Time to Die has passed £76M (The Lion King), on its way up the all time chart. Next up we have Titanic (£80.3M), Star Wars: The Last Jedi (£82.7M) and Avengers: Endgame (£88.7M) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
