Heretic Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Jesus Christ. Pound to dollar is at a 2 and a half year low right now. Just keep plummeting! It's near 1.5 now. This could significantly effect $ grosses of films if it doesn't improve. Very bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickvD Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Still, very impressive for WIR. It will make over $250 million from current markets. If Japan does well it will come very close to $300 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I imagine WIR will dip in weekday sales but should do well this weekend. Competition is a little thin with Hansel and Gretel, Stoker so I expect Ralph to be number 1 unless Hansel and Gretel overperforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news for us tourists though ... we were to England in '08 and Scotland '10 and both times it was about 82 GBP to 100 Euro, now it's down to 90:100 - the pint's getting cheaper by the day!

Heretic Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Terrible for me. I'm going interrailing around Europe in the summer and it's getting more expensive by the minute! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The thing to do then, obviously, is to change your Euros today and put them under the mattress till summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Chart here. Very good weekend. WIR actual was higher at £3.4m, flat from last weekend, and massive £18.6m total in 2 weeks. At this point £25m looks likely.Les Mis nearing £40m and Django £15m.http://www.cinemauk.org.uk/facts-and-figures/admissions/ukcinema-weekendboxoffice/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Mama did great beating both Cloud Atlas and Song for Marion. Brave was still a success considering it was released quite late in the summer but Ralph has clicked with audiences. I hope Frozen has similar success but its got a December release.

Brave was still a success considering it was released quite late in the summer but Ralph has clicked with audiences. I hope Frozen has similar success but its got a December release. Cloud Atlas was screwed as it wasn't shown in any smaller cinemas (under 8 screens), so Mama's victory was a given. Song for Marion seened to have an ambitiously wide release this weekend which seemed pretty odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it could do great considering its winter theme. could perform like a Christmas movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickvD Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I felt ROTG had terrible trailers and looked incredibly unappealing. The movie was a bit better than the trailers suggested, but still... I don't think it's a good comparison for Frozen, which is a Disney musical/fairytale. It's nice for the UK that they won't have to wait so long for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice for the UK that they won't have to wait so long for once.A week is nothing in comparison to the gap for films like WIR, Tangled and The Muppets but given the money they make by releasing around half term, I understand why they do it and they're not the only studio who does this.

Robertron Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Wow. Incredible for Ralph! Prior to release I was wondering how well it would cross over from the US to OS markets, but after doing really well in AUS, I had little doubt it would do well here!
