UK Box Office Thread

Barbenheimer is not slowing down. Polls say 30% BARBIE crowd would watch it again, OP polled 5 star and 97% positive rating.

I'm surprised Printworks didn't make the top 10 given that's an IMAX.

Elemental up to £9m, -42% drop

Indiana Jones up to £18m -62% drop

Asteroid City -82%

Little Mermaid -69%
Ruby Gillman -64%
Mario +96% lol

[Jonwo]

Asteroid City suffered from the boutique cinemas pushing it out. 

 

Mario entered kids club cinema this week so no surprise it jumped so high.

I think there could be sub-40% Monday drops incoming today, similar to what is being forecast domestically. Barbie looks basically as busy as the weekend at places I’m checking and the insane demand for Oppenheimer PLFs/IMAX will cushion it.

 

I think Barbie £3.5m+, Opp £2m+

Think you'll be right on Barbie. Not so sure on Oppenheimer

Tricky thing is that.. general audience (at least here in Asia) seems to have mixed feelings after watching Oppenheimer; some call it the best Nolan film, some said they walked out of the theater midway.

Yes, the initial WOM was very mixed but they improve over the weekend as people reset their expectation about what type of movie they are getting into. The result is less unintended target audience mess up the exit poll and WOM outside.

Finally caught Barbie. Curzon Aldgate 17.30 screening 100% full.

 

The crowd ate it up (in a way that is quite rare for a UK crowd). I loved so many individual elements but I didn't quite love the meta sum of it all. Margot and Ryan are PERFECTION though. 

 

Let's see how Monday is but this feels like it's poised for a historic run.

 

This weekend will go down as one of my all time favourites to have tracked. Just good vibes all round.

Another one based in the crazy city then haha

hey... its been a few years since I followed box office. I used to have a sort of mental equation that £10m in UK box office is roughly equivalent to $100m domestic. is this still a representative equation ?

Eyeballing the all-time charts for DOM and the UK and it's probably a little bit higher. Only 19 movies have made $500m DOM, whereas 46 movies have made £50m in the UK. Something like £12.5-15m UK ~ $100m DOM would be right.

 

Looking at 2023 only though, £10m ~ $100m seems more accurate, I guess relatively speaking the UK box office is performing worse than the domestic box office this year.

I think Barbie will be over £4m today.

 

Oppenheimer might just creep over £2m

Malta

 

Both De Cesare and Borg noted that Barbie had the biggest opening weekend since Spider-Man: No Way Home premiered back in 2021. 

 

Cinemas in Malta were pleasantly surprised over the weekend, with screenings for the new Barbie film sold out, as pretty-in-pink filmgoers filled their theatres to watch the anticipated blockbuster.

Barbie seems It's gonna have a record breaking monday in 2023 in basically all the markets.

Probably the distribution  even kinda underrated Its potential (After all it's a non sequel- spin off- part of already big franchise etc..) so a lot of people didn't watch It in the weekend cause It was sold out are going today.

 

This Is encouraging for the next weekend, cause a lot of them probably can go again only in the weekend.

yeah me and @Krissykins had big fight over this. the real ratio is more like 7-8:1 but 10x works good enough. there are some genres which perform better in UK, some does better in US like Superheros.
