overhyped Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Ice Age 4 drifts back into top spot at the UK box office; Magic Mike thrusts into thirdFox’s 3D animation opens nationwide and pulls in $15.6m (£10.1m), including previews; Lionsgate’s comedy drama opens impressively with $4.1m (£2.6m).With $8.2m (£5.3m) safely stored away from two weekends of nationwide previews, Ice Age: Continental Drift has returned to the summit of the UK box office in its third week after opening nationwide.Even without the boost of these previews though, Fox’s 3D animation would have still charted first with $7.5m (£4.8m) Fri-Sun. Its official weekend tally - which will include the nationwide previews of the previous two weekends - will be $15.6m (£10.1m) for an excellent $20.2m (£13.0m) to date.Given its staggered release pattern, it’s hard to compare it with the nationwide openings of the previous three instalments in the ever-popular franchise - as it’s already in its third week in Scotland and Ireland - but in terms of the series, Ice Age: Continental Drift is bearing down on the original Ice Age’s haul of $23.5m (£15.1m) and should surpass it this week.Whether it can topple the series best of Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs at $54.7m (£35.2m) will depend on how it fares against the might of Batman which, ultimately, could prove to be smart counter programming from Fox.Slipping a place to second was last week’s champion, The Amazing Spider-Man, as it fell 43% week-on-week.Sony’s 3D reboot swung its way to a non-final further $6.02m (£3.9m) for $29.5m (£19.0m) so far, which compares favourably to the second weekend running totals of both Spider-Man ($25.7m/£16.6m) and Spider-Man 2 ($25.9m/£16.7m). It does lag behind Spider-Man 3, however, which stood at $37.9m (£24.4m) on its way to a series best performance of $52.1m (£33.5m).Again, how it fares against fellow superhero offering The Dark Knight Rises will determine if it can challenge Spider-Man 3’s bounty.Arguably the biggest story of the weekend belonged to the highest new entry in the form of Lionsgate’s Magic Mike which danced its way to an excellent debut of $4.1m (£2.6m), including previews, to land third.Its opening is strong in any context, but when compared to previous films from director Steven Soderbergh, it becomes even more impressive. Outside of the Oceans trilogy, Magic Mike’s opening bow ranks as Soderbergh’s best in the UK with Erin Brockovich its nearest challenger at $2.5m (£1.6m), with Magic Mike taking over double of Soderbergh’s other 2012 release, Haywire ($1.9m/£1.2m).StudioCanal’s apocalyptic comedy drama Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World grossed $549,572 (£353,725) to open fourth. Writer/director Lorene Scafaria’s only previous brush with the UK box office was Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist - which Scafaria scripted - which debuted slightly higher with $618,763 (£398,194) in 2009.Fox’s Prometheus stands at $38.2m (£24.6m), while Universal’s The Five-Year Engagement has laughed its way to $6.9m (£4.4m) after four weeks in play.This week’s only saturation release is the eagerly anticipated final instalment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, Warner Bros.’ The Dark Knight Rises. Universal’s Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax opens regionally, while Kaleidoscope’s Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap receives a wide release. Fox’s Lola Versus and Dogwoof’s Revenge Of The Electric Car are among the films receiving a limited release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Spiderman will get destroyed this weekend.Fantastic for IA4. I think 45m is the minimum. Could get near $50m.As for TDKR, $25m is the minimum I see it opening to. 2D sellouts have just sky-rocketed, and IMAX has been sold out for weeks now.

John Marston Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 even if Spider-Man gets destroyed. Will it's final total be respectable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Chariots of Fire did £64,000. Makes you wonder why they bother with some of these rereleases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Maximum probably around $28-29m.I'm saying $27m.Spiderman will likely do around $40-45m with summer holidays now. Still good. But nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommycruise Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Any Chance TDKR makes 100m? TDK made 89m in 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Spider-Man had a good drop, I think it'll do £25-30m total, it'll be an alternative to those who can't see TDKR. Ice Age did very well but it did have two weeks of previews plus wide release in Scotland and Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I think Ted can do 70M here if lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Whaaaaat?No way.It's broken out BIG time in Australia and will likely be one of the most shocking performances of the 21st century there. That most almost certainly won't be the case here, but I could see $30-40m possibly happen if it does break out here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I heard Ted is the most anticipated movie outside TDKR in UK ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 It probably is. Ted, Brave and The Expendable 2 are the most anticipated for August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 My local cinema is showing TDKR 29 times per day. Look at the Trafford centre. One of the busiest cinemas in the UK. Showtimes are outrageous! http://www.odeon.co.uk/fanatic/film_times/s20/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Also, Glasgow Cineworld, which I think actually is the busiest cinema in the UK already has 10 sellouts for TDKR. That's crazy. Advance tickets are selling extremely quickly now and walk ups will probably be huge too. I imagine lots will get turned away, or they'll start adding some more showtimes like they did for The Avengers. We're in for an absolutely monstrous OD.

Showtimes are outrageous!http://www.odeon.co....film_times/s20/I see your Trafford Centre and raise you an Event George St in Sydney. It has 39 screenings tomorrow. TASM drops to only 4 screenings tomorrow from about 18 today.Although, there would have been more screenings on opening day in the UK if midnights were allowed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
