JCS Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Odeon, Britain’s largest cinema chain, is reaping the benefits of the breakout Bond movie scoring the largest 7-day opening ever for a single film with £11.3M ($18.1M) in takings at its theaters. Its flagship cinema, Odeon Leicester Square, also set a new record with more than £530K ($848K) in Skyfall’s first week to overtake Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which took £495K...Smashing Odeon's records!

Heretic Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 That number from Leicester Square is staggering. It continues to sell out its 1700 seater on the 3rd week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Is Breaking Dawn part II taking over from Skyfall at OLS? The number is more astounding considering DH2 had 3D so attendance wise, it is doing better, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Nope, BD2 isn't getting OLS.The Hobbit is. I imagine that'll have an absolutely monstrous run there, too. Edited November 9, 2012 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Although The Hobbit's grosses will mostly be in 2013, It'll be two films with British source material in the top three grossing films of 2012. 2011 was a great year with 3 British films grossing over £40m but 2012 hasn't done too badly with Skyfall, The Woman in Black, War Horse and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel doing near or over £20m, Edited November 9, 2012 by Jonwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Fantastic! I just can't believe we are seeing a likely £9-10m 3rd weekend. I can't see it missing £90m now. It should hit £71m by Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Oh fuck! I have made a MAJOR, MAJOR error. I'm at Westfields, and the bloody Kardashians are here. Along with about 5,000 screaming fans, some of which have camped over night. They need to re-evaluate their lives.How did I not know this!? Now I'm literally stuck here suffocating. :'( 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
