That’s insane. Despite all the jubilee stuff and hot weather. 

Incredible and well deserved hold!

 

Just goes to show that the jubilee wasn’t quite as big of a deal for a lot of people in the country as the media would like us to believe…

Yeh I’m guessing spreading it out over the 4 days helped lessen any blow. The concert on Saturday night got 13m live viewers. Best of the year apparently. 
 

 

Top Gun made 51% of its week 1 gross between Mon-Thu:

The dinosaurs arrive on Friday! 


Opening weekends:

Fallen Kingdom £14,334,894

Jurassic World £19,350,727

 

24 and 27 showings at my locals for Dominion. Top Gun having an impact there, as the new big releases like these usually get 30-40 showings. 
 

Top Gun is keeping 17 showings at each, understandably.

Incredible hold. Wonder how high it can fly. All time top 25 guaranteed at this point, which is incredible considering it's the country of Bond and Potter. Could beat all LOTR films and wouldn't rule out outgrossing Casino Royale.

£60m seems like a good bet right now for Top Gun.

 

Regarding Jurassic World, maybe £11-12m 3 day? Fallen Kingdom’s £14.3m was a 5 day opening, and Jurassic World’s £19.4m was 4 day.

 

Hope TG can manage to drop under 50%, but no doubt it’ll be hit hard this weekend due to the loss of PLF/IMAX

Bob's burgers closing at my cinema after Thursday, that's a dreadful UK run compared to the US which wasn't impressive to begin with. Shame, it was pretty fun

It’ll probably pass £1m at least, but I think they overestimated the appeal. 
 

It’s dropped at one of my locals and kept on for 2 showings at the bigger one. 
 

 

Doctor Strange 2 got the top grossing film of the year for 24 hours.

about £1.5m yesterday for Top Gun

That is fantastic considering yesterday was back to work/school after a long weekend. 

 

Should be very near the £50m mark by Sunday.

I'm expecting £8-10m for Jurassic World. Doesn't seem to be as much hype for it compared to the previous two.

 

The lack of new kids films likely helped Sonic and The Bad Guys, that'll change with Lightyear, Minions 2 and Super Pets during the summer.

Definitely seems surprisingly quiet around me based on pre-sales, although the JW films have tended to be walk up driven in the past so it could still blow up at the weekend like the previous two did. I’m betting on a drop from Fallen Kingdom though.

I think Minions is still a sleeping giant, unfortunately, they'll all come out of the woodwork - Mrs Brown's Boys audience style. Super Pets I think will do well as the trailer played so well on my views and casually I know a few excited for it.

 

Lightyear....I dunno, might there be a low key underwhelming film there? Probably not but I wouldn't be *astonished* if it heavily underperforms.

 

Delighted for Bad Guys both domestically and internationally. Really felt like it was thrown out there with little to no fanfare to fail and has managed to be a nice little earner off the back of warm word of mouth and few options for families.

 

Maverick doesn't surprise me. It played to all audience it seems and the thing that was really notable in my packed showing was how well it was playing to KIDS. They were more into it than their dads who had dragged them there. Well done to it.

 

Jurassic World was looking low key late on last time. It's still dinosaurs and 3 bad films in a row didn't harm the last one, so 4 bad films in a row won't harm this one. More critic and bad-film proof than Transformers until proven otherwise.

Got to admit, I love Toy Story, but Lightyear is doing absolutely nothing for me. It barely even seems like a Pixar movie, you could tell me it was a standard Disney Animation Studios release and I’d believe you. I doubt it’ll bomb or anything, and I’m sure it’ll do decently with kids, but it definitely feels to me like it’s more aimed squarely at children compared to the Toy Story movies which had stuff for adults too.
