SchumacherFTW Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Anyone seen the total shitstorm that's erupted for cineworld surrounding staff in Birmingham throwing a girl with Downs Syndrome out of The Croods for laughing too loud. The people on facebook trying to call boycott on the company as opposed to punishing the shitty staff are extremely daft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a down syndrome girl is having the time of her life, let her. If she was making it difficult for people to hear the movie, her parents need to evaluate whether it's wise to take her to full showings. Either way, it's inappropriate to throw her out.

The Dark Alfred Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Both GI Joe and Trance suck, so don't expect great numbers. GI Joe around £3.5m for the 5-day, Trance £2m. Edited March 27, 2013 by Alfred Beyond The Pines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Both GI Joe and Trance suck, so don't expect great numbers. GI Joe around £3.5m for the 5-day, Trance £2m. Saw GI Joe 2 today as well, is okay but a fairly standard action film. Could get to £4M even I think for OW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It won't get £4m 5-day OW, no way in hell. Trance didn't do well in my cinema, I think it will only do £1.5m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipJ2001 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if everything increased judging by my cinema. I'd estimate a £1.5-2m start for The Host. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Croods holds at #1 with $5M or £3.3M for the weekend. I assume GI Joe 2 was in at #2 with around $4M probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Great for Croods, should have a very healthy total after these 2 weeks of holidays now. Not so great for Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Taking away previews, The Croods stayed almost flat. Could have a very similar total to Ralph in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efialtes76 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Great for Croods, should have a very healthy total after these 2 weeks of holidays now. Not so great for Joe. The Croods:$5m/$15.7m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 GI Joe didn't do great considering it had a five day opening but its higher than the first films opening, not much out next week apart from Dark Skies and a few indie films so I imagine most films will stay flat, the week after is Obilvion and Scary Movie 5 and the week after that is Olympus has Fallen and Evil Dead so it is looking like a good April with those films plus Iron Man 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Yeah, Croods will have a great Easter holidays! Might even get higher than WIR. GI Joe 2 OW is decent enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Nope, it's not decent, it's very poor start for GI Joe. The Croods 3-day is way higher than GI Joe 5-day. Less than £3m. GI Joe flopped. The Host tanked with £1m. Trance 5-day is bang on what I predicted. I really underestimated the Croods, it's having an incredible run. Will pass Oz in a couple of days.

The people on facebook trying to call boycott on the company as opposed to punishing the shitty staff are extremely daft. Even though the girl probably couldn't help it, is it really fair that maybe 200-300 other paying customers have their experience and money wasted because one person is laughing so loud they can't hear the film properly? The appropriate action would have been to ask the parent/guardian to have her try keep it down as it is disturbing other guests. If she didn't then asking them to leave was the right thing to do. One person, disabled or not, shouldn't be allowed to ruin the film for other paying customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
