SchumacherFTW Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Oz should be big like it should be in the uk the first big tentpole of the year and the first big film £5 mil would be a disappoint considering this.It's not the first biggie this year, Les Mis opened to £8m back in January.

Heretic Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 £5m should he the benchmark. I'd be happy with anything above that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Looks like Star Trek into Darkness is getting an early release on May 9th, it makes total sense as that release date was empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Now we get IM3 and ST2 early. Suckerrrrrrrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertron Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 IMDB still says May 17...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 IMDB still says May 17......The STID website says 10th but I reckon it'll be the 9th. Its not unusual as the first film came a day early from US release. I wouldn't be surprised if Fast Six moves forward a week as the 17th only has The Great Gatsby, The Hangover and Epic will likely stay put although Hangover could easily debut Wednesday or Thursday, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertron Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 What's the usual release day?Is it Friday, like the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Friday is technically, but Thursday and Wednesday releases are becoming more and more common. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 launching films (the official website for the UK Film Distributor's Association) has it down for the 9th http://www.launchingfilms.com/release-schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertron Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Friday is technically, but Thursday and Wednesday releases are becoming more and more common.That's why I asked. I feel as if there is rarely a Friday release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 That's why I asked. I feel as if there is rarely a Friday release. It's quite funny the way it's all changed here, and a lot of it can be attributed to a single offer that has become a crutch to the cinema industry in a way they couldn't have imagined when it launched over a decade ago: Orange Wednesdays 241's for anyone not from the UK. That offer makes Wednesday into essentially another weekend day attendance wise, and for non ticket revenue for cinemas its a god send. Distributors must love it too as many of them release younger skewing titles such as Hansel and Gretel, The Inbetweeners and many other films on wednesdays now to take advantage of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 I go to the cinema more often nowadays on Wednesday than any weekend day. By FAR. It's become almost essential. I can't be paying like £10 everytime I wanna see a movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Orange/EE Wednesday is popular but Tuesday are also popular as its lower priced tickets in some cinemas. I think Thursday is a popular release day for big films rather than Friday but even films like Bond etc opt for just a three day release.

JCS Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think Oz will not even reach £5M with news from other markets coming in... Between £3M-£5M as I said before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
