Thor predictions? 
 

Maybe £15m 4-day. Dr Strange 2 opened with £19.8m 4 day but think the general consensus at least in the US is that this will open lower, so assuming that will translate overseas too.

 

Weather also looks to be improving this weekend, looking very warm and sunny so think that will impact BO.

Excellent hold for Elvis.
 

Great opening for Minions 2, but still under Minions and DM3


Top Gun still crazy.

Are people really expecting Railway Children Return to do well? It’s an old property with a fairly stuffy subject so I doubt many kids will be begging their parents to see it, especially not when Minions and Thor are out.

 

If it does any business I bet it’ll be with the senior crowd who remember the original.

It'll probably do fine for a British film but I think they should have released in May when there was no new family films. 

 

I've already seen posters for League of Super-Pets and I think that might do solid business.

The total U.K. and Ireland box office for June 2022 was £95.7 million ($116 million), according to numbers released by Comscore.

May holdover “Top Gun: Maverick” was the top film of the month with £37.1 million, for a total of £65.3 million.

 

The Tom Cruise vehicle is also the top grossing film of the year in the territory so far, 55% above “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness” (£42 million), which is the fifth highest grosser of June with £2.4 million. The sequel is also Cruise’s highest-grossing film to date, and Paramount’s best performing movie ever released – with the pair re-uniting again for next summer’s “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.”

At second position on June was “Jurassic World: Dominion,” with a gross of £28.5 million, which is the fifth best performing movie of the year so far. “Lightyear” was in third position, with a total to date of £7.6 million.

 

In fourth place was Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis,” with a gross of £7.2 million so far. Universal’s “The Black Phone” entered the charts in June in sixth position, with a gross of £2 million. Universal are currently the top performing distributor of the year, with a market share of 24%.

“Everything Everywhere All At Once” was seventh placed with £1.4 million and a total gross of £4.9 million and “Downton Abbey: A New Era” was eighth, grossing £1 million in June and a total of £14.8 million to date, 5% behind the current best performing British film of the year, “Belfast” (£15.5 million).

Alex Garland’s “Men” was in ninth position with a gross of £982,000 and rounding off the top 10 was “Sonic The Hedgehog 2” with £974,000, and a total gross of £26.6 million, making it the sixth-highest grossing film of the year.

I can’t see it doing well, they just re-released the original and it had a PTA of £45.00 according to Screen Daily.

Feels like the kind of film that's fulfilling some form of quota. Those kinds of films are simply DOA these days. 

I think in a quieter month, it would have done okay but summer against big brashy films is asking for trouble. Unlike Paddington or the BFG which had fantasy elements, this looks a bit twee.

That’s exactly it, I just keep trying to imagine who this is aimed at, because I can’t imagine any child clamouring to watch a quaint British film about children going away to the countryside amid World War 2, kids today would really struggle to identify with any of it. At first I thought it might be another Working Title production as they seem to be ridiculously out of touch these days, constantly relying on adaptations and sequels that nobody asked for, so I was surprised to see it being Studiocanal.

The strange thing is that Paddington was hugely successful for Studiocanal so why they didn't go for a novel or story which was a bit more adventurous is beyond me. Homegrown films can succeed but I think they need a bit more scale if you're competing with the likes of superhero films and animated comedies. Something like Johnny English for example works because it has comedy and action,

Shall be renewed this week. Minions shall be 5M or so. Thor 15M+.

Feels good for cinemas to be operating normally again, big releases keep coming and there's no dead spots for a little while. Shame we're getting the last "big" release of the summer this weekend though
