Jonwo Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Only £200,000 less than what IM3 made Friday-Sunday, that's amazing and beyond all expectations. What was number 7 and 10 in the top ten locations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see. So this will end up with about 40 - 50M? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I see. So this will end up with about 40 - 50M? Kal? 45M-50M is my range. But it could certainly go higher with the help of summer weekdays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 $40m is definitely a lock. By Sunday, it should already be over $30m easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) So top openers this year so far looks like: IM3 - $21,215,105 MOS - $17,600,000 (est) FF6 - $13,223,627 Les Mis - $13,116,009 ST2 - $12,949,211 HO3 - $9,022,679 Croods - $8,078,850 Oblivion - $7,552,649 WIR - $7,154,975 TGG - $6,212,198 OZ - $5,583,531 It's been a pretty great year so far regarding openings. DM2 should clear $10m without no problem. Monsters Univeristy should also clear that mark with ease, possibly up to $15m. Monsters Inc made over $13m, so it's doable.

Heretic Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Warner Bros’ 3D reboot scores $17.6m (£11.2m) debut for 2013’s second biggest three-day weekend. Dominating all competition, Man of Steel scored an outstanding UK debut to knock After Earth off the top spot after just one week. Warner Bros’ 3D reboot soared to $17.6m (£11.2m) from its 573 sites, resulting in a mighty average of $30,578 (£19,457). That result is 2013’s second biggest three-day weekend, narrowly behind Iron Man 3’s $17.9m (£11.4m) result. It is also director Zack Snyder’s best-ever UK debut by some distance, topping 300’s $7.5m (£4.7m), and will become Snyder’s biggest ever UK result in the near future, currently a record also belonging to 300 at $22.3m (£14.2m). Previous Superman outing, Superman Returns, pales in comparison, with Man of Steel taking more than double its $6.8m (£4.3m) debut. That film peaked at $25.3m (£16.1m) so expect Man of Steel to fly past that if not this week, then definitely next weekend. Father’s Day on Sunday arguably aided Man of Steel, with Sunday ($5.7m/£3.6m) recording a bigger result than Friday ($5.3m/£3.4m). Also for Warner Bros, The Hangover Part III is up to $28.2m (£18m), still around £4m away from The Hangover’s $33.4m (£22.1m). The Great Gatsby has waltzed to a strong $23.1m (£14.7m). SONYLast week’s champion After Earth fell to second as a result of Man of Steel’s chart-topping debut. Sony’s sci-fi added a non-final $1.9m (£1.2m) for a ten-day running total of $7.5m (£4.8m) and will at least overtake director M. Night Shyamalan’s previous feature,The Last Airbender, which capped at $7.9m (£5.02m) in the UK. FOXHolding firm in fourth was Fox’s 3D animation Epic, which rose 29% in its fourth weekend to gross $1.3m (£851,186). The latest 3D animation from Blue Sky Studios is now up to $19.3m (£12.3m) as it attempts to catch Blue Sky’s previous original feature, Rio, which flew to $20.7m (£13.6m). EONESteven Soderbergh’s HBO drama Behind the Candelabracontinued its outstanding theatrical start in the UK through eOne. The Liberace biopic rose 21% on last weekend after expanding to 244 sites, resulting in a $974,000 (£619,592) weekend which puts the film on a healthy $2.6m (£1.6m) after ten days in play. UNIVERSALDropping just 30% in its fifth weekend, Universal’s Fast & Furious 6 added $929,000 (£571,000). The sixth instalment in the evergreen franchise has now raced to $38.4m (£24.4m) and will cross the £25m mark in the coming days. Also for Universal, The Purge has scared up a solid $4.8m (£3.1m) after a $533,000 (£339,000) weekend. Results for Tina Fey comedy Admission were unavailable at the time of writing. PARAMOUNTSci-fi sequel Star Trek Into Darkness phased past the £25m barrier in its sixth weekend after it added $643,000 (£409,253) for $39.7m (£25.2m) to date through Paramount. LIONSGATEIn its second weekend, Lionsgate’s The Iceman added $107,000 (£68,000) from its 135 sites for $744,000 (£473,000) to date. KALEIDOSCOPEIn a limited release of 64 sites, Joss Whedon’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing took $106,000 (£67,533) on its opening weekend. PICTUREHOUSEPlaying in 43 sites on its second weekend, Picturehouse’sThe Stone Roses: Made of Stone grossed $44,000 (£27,881) for $738,000 (£469,449) to date. Unsurprisingly, the top site for the weekend was Manchester Cornerhouse. STUDIOCANALHorror sequel The Last Exorcism Part II fell heavily in its second weekend, grossing $25,000 (£15,646) for $390,000 (£248,266) to date through StudioCanal. Byzantium is up to $375,000 (£238,950). UPCOMING RELEASESThis week sees saturation releases for Paramount’s World War Z, eOne’s Snitch and Vertigo’s A Haunted House(opens June 19). Vertigo will also give a wide release to Spike Island, while Kaleidoscope’s The Seasoning House and Sony’s Before Midnight are among the films receiving a limited release. Seems like a pretty good weekend for holdovers, surprisingly. HO3 looks set to hit $30m, FF6 and ST2 will both pass $40m very soon, Gatsby should get to $25m, and Epic will pass $20m. MOS will probably make a run for $50m. UK box office is officially on fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Heretic, what movie are coming up next week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) WWZ opens this week...should do decently, maybe £3-4m, but MoS will undoubtedly keep the top spot. A 50% drop for that would be £5.6m ($8.8m). DM2 also has previews on Saturday and Sunday which'll probably equate to a couple of million before its proper opening next weekend.

Sam Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Is 50% drop a minimum for MOS? I figure the weekend drop should be bigger since there are help from weekdays and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not actually summer holidays yet in UK...for most schools they start in the middle of July, so weekdays should be fairly normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Looking back through the records, it seems MoS has the three day record for June beating Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban which did £9.5m for its three day opening but still holds the overall June record as it had a seven day opening.

Yeah, I think if MOS broke any UK records, they must have reported it in press release by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
