Jonwo Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 AE at #1 with $3.5M or £2.3M weekend.Big drop next weekend and won't get close to £10M even for a Will Smith film...It's not bad but not good either. It'll be under £1m next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 For a huge summer tentpole with Will Smith leading, AE in the UK is in flop territory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 it only had a limited release this week (120 cinemas) but i'd be interested to see the per screen average.. we're getting loads of requests for it. after earth has been really quiet unsurprisingly.I'm surprised that it couldn't secure a distributor in the US, EOne are distributing it in the UK, I imagine it'll expand next week, I've heard great things about it.

JCS Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It's not bad but not good either. It'll be under £1m next week. If it is under £1M next weekend that will be really awful. AE OW was only a bit more than 'Bomb Carter' and AE released in the 'summer' and has Will Smith leading... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Sony’s sci-fi starring Will Smith and Jaden Smith scores $3.5m (£2.25m) debut to dethrone The Hangover Part III; eOne’s Behind the Candelabra debuts with $797,000 (£512,604) from 131 sites. Poor reviews weren’t enough to prevent After Earthtopping the UK box office on debut, preventing The Hangover Part III from a third consecutive week as the UK’s number one. Sony’s first release since Django Unchained in January scored a sturdy $3.5m (£2.25m) opening to comfortably secure top spot. That marks director M. Night Shyamalan’s third best UK debut, behind Signs ($5.8m/£3.8m) and The Village($4.6m/£2.9m). It is worth noting that The Sixth Sense received a limited release originally, on route to becoming the director’s best-ever UK performance at a storming $39.4m (£25.4m). Compared to the year’s other notable original sci-fi effort,After Earth achieved a lower debut than Oblivion’s $7.6m (£4.95m) debut, which included $2.4m (£1.6m) in previews. WARNER BROSDespite falling to second, The Hangover Part III still enjoyed a healthy third weekend, crossing £16m in the process. Warner Bros.’ prequel laughed its way to a further $1.8m (£1.1m) to climb to $25.1m (£16.2m), edging closer toThe Hangover’s $33.4m (£22.1m) UK result. Having added just shy of £3m this past week, the comedy will need to showcase similar resolve if it hopes to avoid becoming the series’ lowest grosser. Also for Warner Bros, The Great Gatsby endured its first steep drop in its fourth weekend as it added $1m (£657,613) for $21.1m (£13.6m). While it’s unlikely to top Moulin Rouge!’s $27.3m (£17.9m), it’s still a decent performance given the strong blockbuster competition it’s faced in its run. UNIVERSALFalling 59% in its fourth weekend, Universal’s Fast & Furious 6 has now crossed the £23m mark. The sixth instalment in the evergreen franchise grossed a further $1.3m (£845,000) for an outstanding $36.1m (£23.3m) to date, extending its lead as the series’ strongest UK performer. Also for Universal, micro-budget horror The Purge scared up an additional $840,000 (£541,000) and has now taken $3.5m (£2.2m) after ten days in play. FOXFollowing its prosperous half term performance, Fox’s Epicdropped 63% in its third weekend, taking $1m (£660,712). The latest 3D animation from Blue Sky Studios is now up to $17.4m (£11.2m) and faces a tough battle to overtake Blue Sky’s previous original effort, Rio, which took $20.7m (£13.6m). PARAMOUNTSci-fi sequel Star Trek Into Darkness is closing in on £25m in the UK as it added $956,000 (£616,036) through Paramount for $37.8m (£24.3m) to date. EONEAchieving the second best site average behind After Earth, Steven Soderbergh’s swansong Behind The Candelabra got off to a storming start in the UK through eOne. The Liberace biopic debuted to an excellent $797,000 (£512,604) from 131 sites, resulting in a $6,084 (£3,913) average, and is set to expand from Friday. Given its strong start, midweek returns could see it pushing £1m before then. Meanwhile, Populaire is up to $331,000 (£213,045) after ten days in play. PICTUREHOUSEThanks to its premiere event, Picturehouse’s music documentary The Stone Roses: Made of Stone achieved a $570,000 (£367,320) opening to see it chart ninth. Opening in 88 sites on June 5, its five-day opening weekend accounted for $182,000 (£117,293) of that total debut. LIONSGATEReleased in 220 sites, Lionsgate’s The Iceman debuted with $313,000 (£202,000) to chart tenth. A based on real life crime drama about a serial killer was always going to be a tough sell, and so it seems to have been proved with a $1,424 (£918) average. Midweek older audiences could be the film’s saviour though. Also for Lionsgate, comedy The Big Wedding fell dramatically in its second weekend, taking just $144,000 (£93,000) for $1.5m (£981,000). DISNEYNearer the end of its UK run, Disney’s Iron Man 3 has now amassed $56.9m (£36.7m) after a $239,000 (£154,042) weekend, while Oz the Great and Powerfulhas taken $23.7m (£15.3m) to date. STUDIOCANALStudioCanal opened horror sequel The Last Exorcism Part II in 214 sites, resulting in a meek debut of $180,000 (£115,811). That result is markedly down on its predecessor’s $1.7m (£1.1m) debut which saw it land top of the chart, before going on to make $5.7m (£3.7m). Also for StudioCanal, Neil Jordan’s latest Byzantium is up to $329,000 (£211,732). This week’s only saturation release is Warner Bros’ Superman reboot Man of Steel. Metrodome’s Summer in February, Koch Media’s Stuck in Love and Universal’sAdmission receive a wide release, while Kaleidoscope’sMuch Ado About Nothing and Soda’s Paradise: Love are among the films receiving a limited release. Looks like FF6 are both going to push for $40m in the next few weeks. Epic had a massive half term but this week it literally just disappeared. Should end near $20m though which is decent.

Heretic Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 MoS this weekend. No idea how it'll do. Superman Returns made £4.3m, so this should have no trouble managing £7m this weekend. Could come pretty close to STiD's £8.4m or FF6's £8.7m but for now I'll say around £7.5-8m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 This is getting a huge number of showtimes. Vue Stratford has over 100 shows for the weekend. Probably very similar to IM3, and definitely more than STID. More than FF6 too of course, but that only had 2D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than FF6 too of course, but that only had 2D.MoS is opening in a less packed month, FF6 had to deal with holdovers like STID and Iron Man 3 plus new releases like The Great Gatsby, I'm sticking with £7-8m, it would be a disaster if it opened to less than that, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Could MOS open to $15M+ here? How are the chances? Edited June 11, 2013 by Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks Heretic. So absolutely no chance? Well, I guess you can't say no chance at all, but I'd say very unlikely. £7-8m would be a great start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Anything below £5M would be fairly awful I think. Should be hitting £8M+ OW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) I'll be shocked if MoS doesn't open to £10m. I say £10.5m-11m. Edited June 12, 2013 by Alfred Beyond The Pines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
