JCS Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Madagascar 3 arrives in the UK this week and has already generated $4.8m from 552 in previews.Going to be a big OW for Madagascar 3 with £3M in previews already! Should have a £7.5M+ OW at least. Edited October 14, 2012 by JCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Taken 2 down only 50% from the 4 day weekend, and only 40% down from the 3 day with current estimates at $6m, and $23.4m total.Should be at around $28-29m or so by next Sunday, meaning a gross in the end near $35m is looking likely. Absolutely fantastic.HT had a decent opening with $2.9m. Will probably get up to $15m with half term coming up soon. Taken 2 doing better than expected for sure, and it may just reach £20M!HT is no match for Madagascar 3 obviously, not a good OW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 What the hell!?Almost $5m with 2 days of previews.£13-15m likely then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 PA4 will also open around $5m this week.The UK BO is actually on fire, and it's not letting up anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 What the hell!?Almost $5m with 2 days of previews.£13-15m likely then.I think excluding previews, it'll do £5-6m for its opening weekend although i think it's already out in Scotland so we might see Madagascar enter the top ten this week from just Scotland. Paranormal Activity should do £3m or so for five days but it's possible it could be slightly lower if Taken 2 continues to hold well. Paranormal Activity 3 decreased from PA2 so it's possible PA4 to decrease from PA3. I think box office will decline for the two weeks of November with Skyfall dominating then pick up with Breaking Dawn Part II and Rise of the Guardians.

Heretic Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 That's an absolutely tiny drop for Sinister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Another great weekend!I guess the Mad3 previews include the Scotland release then to hit £3M for the weekend. Can't wait to see its OW! £13-15m likely then.Do you mean $ OW? It won't open with £13M-£15M and its final gross will be £20M+ at least.

The Toymaker Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) 5-Perks 400k 51% decrease. That is truly terrible. Even The Expendables 2 dropped less than that. Edited October 15, 2012 by Barney Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) 51% decrease. That is truly terrible. Even The Expendables 2 dropped less than that. Get a fucking life Algren. Since when did more money = better quality? You feel the need to constantly bring up everything Stallone and hate on everything and everyone that's ever had anything to do with Potter, because you are INSECURE, shallow, and you need to make yourself feel better. Why else would you spend your time calculating drops and comparing two movies that have nothing whatsoever in common with eachother? Oh, and news flash. TE2 flopped in the UK.

The Toymaker Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Didn't flop as hard as Perks is doing now. I didn't ever suggest that more money meant better quality. This is a box office site, and I'm pleased that Perks is dropping hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 On the contrary Algren, on a budget to gross ratio for the UK TE2 flopped far harder, with more screens and premiums such as D-Box and a much more visible advertising campaign, especially the fact that every single PG+ movie had The Expendables Orange advert all the way through to mid august! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Perks isn't a blockbuster film. The Expendables 2 is. Next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 It makes no difference at all. Second weekend drops are not related to anything regarding advertising or blockbuster status. You can twist this however you want, but the fact is that Perks is dropping harder than TE2, and you are saying that TE2 flopped, well then Perks must be flopping even harder (which is what I said, and what you had a "problem" with for some reason). The term 'flop' is not related to production budgets either, that term is 'bomb'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Why the FUCK are you even talking about TE2 like it has any significance at all? Just proves my point further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I mentioned TE2 because it's known to people on here that it disappointed in the UK. I don't follow other films, so that's the only recent one I know of. Perks dropped even more. So it's interesting. Any anyway, I'll talk about whatever film I think best describes my point.

The Toymaker Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 And Why? I like to see some things brought down to Earth a little. For such great reviews, it couldn't sustain a box office run in a country where Watson is apparently so popular. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toymaker Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Yes, sure. But good reviews are brought up a lot in defence of this film, so I like to bring it up when the box office doesn't quite fly. Give it some balance. Call it "extreme negative feedback" (as Mitchell & Webb would call it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
