SchumacherFTW Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) I'm hoping to be there by then at the latest. Gotta eat some KFC in the car on the way there too. The only thing that's holding Fast back this weekend is Gatsby. WB will have made certain in their contracts that they cannot have screenings cancelled at any point over the weekend, meaning there's less room for Fast to manouver this weekend. At my local cineworld, the only film it can realistically bite into will be Iron Man 3. Edited May 17, 2013 by Schumacher FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Yeah. With the current number of shows it doesn't really seem to be coping with the demand, many tonight are already full up. Unlike IM3 or STID this is only in one format so there's only a certain number of showtimes it can actually have. Wouldn't surprise me to see a couple added though, but IM3 is still doing very well so I doubt they'd want to take it from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may still be doing well, but it's the prime target for cancellation in most sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I was right Heretic, just gone on to my local cineworld page, the 8:40 Iron Man 3 showing's been canned now. It'll pop up soon enough as a Fast and Furious screening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 It will do £7m minimum. Gatsby should do decent business as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Gatsby has sold out every showing tonight except for 23:45 at Vue Westfield! And FF6 is selling out literally everywhere I've checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Gatsby is performing very well, considering its opening against Fast and Furious 6 but I guess it's good counterprogramming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Honestly, I haven't seen this many sell-outs since Breaking Dawn Part 2. FF6 should have a HUGE OD. I think it's at that point where it could actually benefit holdovers from spillover. Edited May 17, 2013 by Heretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 This is looking to have much stronger late night shows than both IM3 and STID too. For example, Vue Stratford has a showing at midnight, and 00:30, and they are both half full already. They'll probably sell out too, which is quite unseen.

Fullbuster Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 the UK market took a shot in the arm since 2012 o_OAnd FF6 could impress a lot.900m WW is reachable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Okay, the fuck is happening? 10pm/11pm onwards sellouts across the board tonight. Stratford just sold out the midnight show, 00:30 will follow shorty. This is something I'd expect from Potter or Bond, but Fast and Furious? Pretty crazy. I would be surprised if the OD number isn't near £3m. IM3 did £2.3m, for comparison. Edited May 17, 2013 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
