Heretic Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) Yeah I could see it doing more. WOM seems to be catching on so I wouldn't put $30m out of reach. Edited December 28, 2012 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hobbit and Pi seems to having a great run, JR not doing too badly either. It's weird Thursday was up from Wednesday but I guess people didn't want to go to the cinema on Boxing Day despite Orange Wednesdays still in place. Tuesday has 3 new releases with Quartet, The Impossible and Playing for Keeps, I can see Quartet and The Impossible doing good but Playing for Keeps will likely bomb.

Fake Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Very good run for LOP.Good for Hobbit as well.Skyfall should be crossing 100m this weekend, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yeah Skyfall should finally pass the mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 What is the avg. ticket price this year? I wonder how high it ranks in all-time admissions chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 I don't know about a number for 2012, maybe rth does, but the cinema exhibitors website says for 2011, it was £6.06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 What is the avg. ticket price this year? I wonder how high it ranks in all-time admissions chart. http://www.cinemauk.org.uk/facts-and-figures/uk-cinema-industry-economics/average-uk-ticket-prices-2000-2011/I think £6.1-6.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Since that figure will include 3D premiums as well, I think we can take the avg. 2D price to be £6.With 102m finish..... that's 17m admissions.How much did Titanic do in original run? What was the avg. price in 1998? That link provides figures from 2000 onwards but we can calculate 1999 price since the yearly change is given as -4.0%. So avg. price in 1999 was £4.58.

riczhang Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 So SF sells more tickets than Titanic. I think it might actually be the biggest ticket seller of all time according to the BFI list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Quite right. And according to wiki, Titanic including re-release has done 80m. The re-release did 11m.So unless the avg. was, like, £4 in 1998 and the price suddenly jumped 15% in 1999, I believe Skyfall has handily beaten Titanic's admissions!And if the 1998 price was around £4.4, Skyfall may have beaten Titanic's admissions including re-release. (RR may have done 1.4m admissions at £7.8-8.0 avg.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'm not sure of all time because I think films like Gone With The Wind had 35m admissions or something like that. But certainly the most in modern cinema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I never gave a thought to Skyfall actually beating Titanic's admissions! It does have a huge advantage with 12A though compared to Titanic's more restrictive 12 rating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Interesting. I never knew Star Wars was so big back in the day.Going by that list, Skyfall is probably somewhere between number 10 and 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 http://www.angelfire...admissions.htmlA chart of all time admissions until 2003. I don't know if it's credible, in the bottom refers channel 4 as a source for the numbers.The figures for HP1/Titanci seem high.For example, HP did £64m. According to http://www.cinemauk.org.uk/facts-and-figures/uk-cinema-industry-economics/average-uk-ticket-prices-2000-2011/, the avg. ticket price in 2001 was £4.14. That calculates to 15.5 million tickets.Same for Titanic. If it sold 18.91m tickets, then the avg. price would be £3.65, which seems pretty unlikely going by the above link.So I think Skyfall may have sold the highest amount of tickets since SW!!

htall90 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 How reliable are these sources for admissions? I find it hard to believe Skyfall has sold more tickets then Titanic. Ticket prices in the uk have gone up massively since 97/98 to now. Would not be surprised if really the modern ticket prices for skyfall are double that of titanic prices in 97 i mean your paying at least £7 almost everywhere in country just for a 2d film 10 years ago you could easily get a ticket for £3.50 never mind back 15 years ago?

Heretic Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 To be fair, I don't know ANYWHERE where the price of a regular ticket is less than £7.30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
