Leyla Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 surprised Alan Partridge is so low - a guy I work with went to see it last night and said it was sold out.. I think people are underpredicted The Lone Ranger a bit - even Dark Shadows opened up to £2.5m and that was far less mainstream than TLR. I'd expect between £3m and £4m hopefully TLR will do decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Films Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Any news on films yesterday as in USA. Is there a release date for the butler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Chennai Express isn't a wide release I don't think. But where it is showing at some of the bigger cinemas, it's doing very well. Could have a pretty big PTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Is this accurate: http://www.koimoi.com/box-office/chennai-express-sets-a-new-record-in-uk-box-office-paid-preview-overseas-report/ In U.K, the film has set new record, which is another SRK stronghold region. The film on its preview day earned £ 142,220 which beats the opening day records of his previous Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan andKabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Aamir Khan starrer 3 Idiots and Salman Khan starrer Ek Tha Tiger in the circuit.

Heretic Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 That sounds pretty huge. I'm seeing a few sellouts for it this evening. In other news, Lone Ranger is bombing horribly around me. IMAX show at 8:20pm has 13 booked seats. That's laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 £142,000 is a good number for a Bollywood film, I think it'll may break £1m for the weekend. It'll be interesting to see the PTA. Looking ahead, It'll Interesting how About Time does, it has a five day opening and its the new Richard Curtis film. I'm thinking £2.5m opening.

PhilipJ2001 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 the last couple of months it seems like nearly every film has ridiculously early prebooking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) the last couple of months it seems like nearly every film has ridiculously early prebooking.Thats true, guess studios want to build up hype by opening up ticket sales early, there's even a screening of About Time for Cineworld Unlimited customers on the 19th August, clearly Universal wants this to be a hit, Edited August 9, 2013 by Jonwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
