SchumacherFTW Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Odeon Leicester Square listing's board was pretty much all red when we were having lunch next to it today. Only showtimes that hadn't sold out fully were in the main screen, and even then Oppy only had about 10 seats left out of 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oppenheimer and Barbie doing the best for the evening shows (Oppie sold it's one afternoon IMAX and the evening shows), but overall it seems pretty booked up...

SchumacherFTW Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Elemental seemed to do really well with it's early shows today as well, any screening I checked was packed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil19 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Just got here for my Threequalizer screening. It's absolutely rammed. Huge crowds at bus stops outside as well, with people leaving, and the car park is impossible to even get into (I ended up parking on a side road). Think everything is pretty much sold out for the evening, though I didn't check earlier in the day to see how it went throughout... Concession wise they absolutely made a killing today.

UKBoxOffice Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Barbie, TMNT and Elemental look to be the big winners with increases on last Saturday in spite of the cheap tickets. All the family stuff has done well. Oppenheimer seems like the biggest drop (although it should still only be a modest drop on last Saturday). 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddevil19 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 My audience for Threequelizer was great. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. A lot of people came in late - probably because of the huge concession queues - but otherwise quite a good audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense with Oppy, it didn’t really receive much of a bump domestically last weekend either. When you’re already filling premium formats and playing well in a single standard screen throughout the day the price slash doesn’t produce a net gain. Also Equalizer has significant demo overlap and it’s brand new so makes for people to flock to that instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Elemental is insane, higher Saturday than the entirety of last weekend. Barbie keeps pulling in huge numbers, I wouldn’t be surprised if it hit £100m at this rate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ton of stuff for kids (good stuff at that), so families seem to have really taken advantage of it, as well as good to great adult fare. I think overall people will have been satisfied with their cinema experience yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnokesLegs Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Pleased to see TMNT holding on, it was a surprisingly fun film. Miles better than previous attempts at TMNT films. Really enjoyed Equalizer 3 as well, so I’m pleased to see it open at number 1. Anyone know how it compared to the openings of the first two?
