The Iron Lady should do well but I think War Horse will steal its thunder. There's also other Oscar bait films out in January like J Edgar, The Artist, The Descendants.

I think you're wrong on the Iron Lady. Past the midlands it won't gross anything, seeing as anti maggie sentiment is and always will be running high. I don't see J Edgar doing a great deal here either. I'm interested to see how Michelle Yeoh's The Lady does next week, will people confuse it with The Iron Lady?

January is pretty much a dead zone in terms of similar films to MI and SH2 so I think SH wil do £20m total, MI £16-17m. The Iron Lady should do well but I think War Horse will steal its thunder. There's also other Oscar bait films out in January like J Edgar, The Artist, The Descendants.

20 mill £ is like 33-34 mill right?

Forgot it was me! I think all three should have good legs through January and I predict £10m total for TGWTDT, £20m for Sherlock Holmes and £16-17m for Mission Impossible.Looking at the year ahead, I can see the biggest films being The Hobbit, TDKR, The Avengers, Men in Black 3, The Amazing Spider-Man and Breaking Dawn Part 2. I think The Muppets will do very well given it's plum February slot plus no similar competition apart from Journey 2.

MIGP has nothing going into IMAX for a while bar the odd documentary so it could easily stay there until at least March when John Carter is released so £20m is a real possibilty, think depends on how it does this weekend as OW at Christmas is irrelevant due to the bigger weekdays.
