LegendaryBen Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 1 minute ago, Heretic said: Weather is too good for cinema this weekend and it looks like a prolonged spell of hot summer weather lasting all week and possibly the following week is coming up, so weaker BO returns can probably be expected. Are the holdovers expected have sizable drops every weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Can confirm it’s roasting even here in Scotland too lol. Still going to see Minions on Monday night though. Need to keep the younger relatives entertained while they’re off school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 The prospect of 30c weather is terrifying. I'm already dying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I think while the weather is this hot, shouldn't look into weekend numbers too much. Better to see what the weekly grosses are as some weekdays might be bigger than certain weekend days. There's the Women Euros as well eating into the female crowd.

FilmFincher Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I went to a prime time evening show for Thor at my local tonight. Was maybe less than half full which quite shocked me. I think the weather might have kept people away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menor the Destroyer Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Why does hot weather hurt the BO, do the theaters in the UK not have air conditioning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need a thread on this. This comes up in every european BO thread. I think one point that keeps coming on is they dont get lots of good weather and when they have it, they would rather be outdoors than be stuck in a multiplex. On the other hand if its raining, they just go to movies :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my first thought exactly. Though weather will largely impact films that rely on casual audience like Minions, Jurassic World, etc. For franchise films with dedicated fanbase, weather impact is limited.

Heretic Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 It’s a similar situation in all of Western and Northern Europe, especially so in countries like UK, Germany, France, where prolonged spells of sunny and hot weather is not the ‘norm’, so people take advantage of the outdoors when the weather is good rather than sit inside a dark room for hours watching a film. But even in countries like Italy, beach going and summer activities are much more popular than going to the cinema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
