Very good opening for AM3 considering its performance elsewhere. 
 

Also great for PIB2 increasing from last weekend, school holidays gave it a big boost. Looks like it could make a run for £30m.

 

Avatar likely going to miss £80m by a couple of million, so will have to settle for 11th of all time (10th of all time is Titanic £80.3m).

Hasn't she sailed a bit higher than that with the re-release, or had she not hit £80m yet

Just been having a look at some Demon Slayer pre-sales, I'm confident enough to call that it'll be number 1 on March 1st, could make the weekend a good battle between it and Creed.

I wouldn’t be so sure about the weekend being much of a battle, anime films normally sink like a stone after the initial fan rush on opening day. I know Demon Slayer is bigger than the usual anime right now, but I can’t see it competing with Creed.

Tickets for Cocaine Bear evening showings basically tripled overnight. Could benefit from on-the-day bookings/walk ups. 

My local initially put on an extra showing at 8:20 when their main 8:50 showing started to sell out, and then about 2 days ago they ditched the 8:20 and gave the screen to Luther! Seems to have backfired quite badly on them. I hope the 5 people in the 8:20 Luther buy a LOT of popcorn!

It ended up really busy, lots of laughs too. 
 

That “Strays” trailer got big laughs.

I have never seen my local as busy for a non blockbuster (blockbuster by UK standards so including musicals and family films) as the showing of Cocaine Bear I was in.

 

Lots of people just clearly hankering for silly fun.

 

I did a double bill with What's Love Got To Do With It. Which was also very busy (and I also enjoyed). Though my friend and I were 2 of the only 4 men in the theatre and 2 of the only 6 white people.

Yea, expect CB to beat WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT handily, despite that being British, having star power and playing in more cinemas. Just a better comedy proposition really. Looks silly fun. Will check it out tomorrow. I can totally see it opening close to £2m.

 

Overall looking like a decent weekend, potentially 4 films over £1m.

 

Hopefully, BROKER (another Korean gem) will crack the top 10.
