Jonwo Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if Epic is number 1 as its likely Hangover will drop heavily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Oops yeah that's meant to be $24.3m for FF6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 It'll be interesting how After Earth does next week given it flopped in the US, before I thought £3-4m but I'm now thinking £1.5-2m or so, I wouldn't be surprised if It isn't number 1 but I think it's a tossup between it and Epic.

STiD: The UK tally stands at $35.6m Epic: The UK led the holdover march on $3m from 1,050 for $15.5m after two weekends 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Woah. Huge half term. Over $10m for Epic and TH3. Over $8m for FF6, and $6m for STID. Must be one of the biggest weeks in a long time. Edited June 2, 2013 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 STID and FF6 are both gonna pass $40m by the looks of it. Epic could get to $25m or so which is pretty good, and same for TH3, probably high 20s, albeit a massive drop from number 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Warner Bros’ The Hangover Part III adds $4.4m (£2.9m) to secure second straight week at number one. Achieving what Star Trek Into Darkness and Fast & Furious 6 couldn’t do, The Hangover Part III has retained the top spot at the UK box office. Warner Bros’ threequel achieved a respectable holdover to laugh its way to an additional $4.4m (£2.9m) for $20.6m (£13.5m) to date. It still has some way to go before catching the original’s $33.4m (£22.1m) haul, with The Hangover Part II’s $49.5m (£32.8m) in little danger of being overtaken as the trilogy’s best performer. Also for Warner Bros, The Great Gatsby continued its healthy UK run as it added $1.95m (£1.28m), climbing to $18.3m (£12m). It is now just under £6m away from becoming director Baz Luhrmann’s best UK performer, topping Moulin Rouge!’s $27.3m (£17.9m). Gatsby will need to continue to showcase its resilience if it’s to hope to challenge that result. After becoming the franchise’s best UK performer last week, Universal’s Fast & Furious 6 showed little sign of slowing in its third weekend, remaining in second place. The sixth instalment in the increasingly popular franchise cruised to $3.1m (£2.04m) to break the £20m barrier and currently stands at a hugely impressive $32.8m (£21.5m) after 17 days in play. With James Wong taking the reins for the seventh instalment, Justin Lin’s series swansong will prove a tough act to follow. Also for Universal, The Purge debuted with $1.6m (£1.02m) from its 348 sites for a sturdy average of $4,473 (£2,929). Universal’s first micro-budget film under the studio’s production partnership with Jason Blum just missed out on the top five though, charting sixth. Paramount’s Star Trek Into Darkness warped to a further non-final $2m (£1.31m) to stand at $35.2m (£23.04m) after its fourth weekend. Last week’s school holidays saw it overtake its 2009 predecessor’s $32.5m (£21.4m) UK performance. The week’s second new entry came in the form of Lionsgate’s The Big Wedding, which charted seventh as a result of its $910,000 (£596,000) debut, including previews. That resulted in a somewhat soft $2,166 (£1,419) site average from its 420 cinemas release. Falling a slim 30% in its sixth weekend, Disney’s Iron Man 3 added $654,000 (£428,000) to its mighty haul, which now stands at a heroic $55.5m (£36.4m). Gatsby's having a great run! Should comfortably pass $20m and end with $22-23m. Edited June 3, 2013 by Heretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Gatsby has performed very well, I did think it would get lost in the packed schedule. Both FF6 and STID cracked £20m, The Hangover I think will crack £20m as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 After Earth is gonna flop. I don't see more than £1.5-2m. Plus, the weather this week has been amazing, and it looks set to continue this weekend, and, last week was the end of holidays. MOS also opens next week and people are probably waiting for that, so I expect some big drops this weekend. It'll be a very quiet one.

Jonwo Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Man of Steel will dent all the holdovers. How big the opening will be remains to be seen, World War Z has had lots of promotions so that may have a good opening in two weeks time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I find it strange that WWZ has opened advanced booking already. I didn't think it would be a film with that kind of fanbase. I think Monsters University booking should theoretically be opening in the next couple of weeks, and then that'll be it on the advance front until Thor most likely. Does anyone have any idea how Man of Steel is looking at a non BFI IMAX cinema at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 They're pretty solid from what I'm seeing. My two local LieMax's have nearly sold out the Friday evening shows. 2D is the only format on sale right now, and they haven't released the full schedule yet, but the 19:30 show is around half full at both. I expect this to be a 'walk-up' movie rather than a pre-sales one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
