CoolioD1 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I don't see anything on the BBFC's website, but whatever, I never expected less than an 18. But I don't think that'll hurt it's BO potential at all. Does the book really have that many teenage fans? Most are older, I would've thought.

PhilipJ2001 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Arthur is good again at my cinema, just over double what Happy Feet has done (even though it had one less show..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 How's Hugo doing? Would have thought both it and HF2 would have hurt AC. Think Twilight will be number 1 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 3 weeks on top for BD1? That's really great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Twilight has collapsed at my cinema. like down at least another 60%. We've not got Hugo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Arthur Christmas added $2.9m from 815 in the UK for $18.2m after four. Should be able to reach $25m, but with PIB coming out this week, I doubt it'll go much further than that. Still amazing though.Happy Feet 2 opened poorly. Only $2.6m. Expected I guess. Breaking Dawn up to $43.6m. I imagine it'll get to 50m which would be a franchise best.As for PIB this week...Shrek is still very popular here so I could see it doing £5m (7.8m)...maybe more. Tangled opened to £5.1m so it should be able to match that at least. Plus it has IMAX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Arthur Christmas' legs have been excellent and it managed to face off HF2 and Hugo, Puss in Boots should be number 1, there should be interest in NYE although it won't do as well as Valentine's Day did.Alvin 3 has weekend previews next week which may hurt PIB and AC so it's OW will be higher although Sherlock Holmes will easily be Number 1.

Jonwo Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hugo did poorly but I think it'll have legs, Tintin should finish at £16-17m which is a very healthy total and on par with the animated summer blockbusters like KFP2 and The Smurfs.

SchumacherFTW Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) Shame that Hugo didn't do better. But dear god did I love it.How much do you guys see Harold and Kumar doing? Edited December 5, 2011 by Schumacher FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hugo got squeezed out by HF2 and AC, shame really, think it would done better had they released it a week earlier. AC should do £14-15m total, as I mentioned its had incredible legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 It's been an interesting year for UK Box office, the surprise hit IMO was The Inbetweeners which I expected to do well but not as big as it became. Don't think anyone could have predicted that the top three grossing films of 2011 would be a. British and b. outgross blockbusters like Pirates of the Carribbean and Transformers. Other successful British films this year include Johnny English Reborn, Tinker, Tailor Soldier Spy, Paul and Arthur Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 The surprise for me was the strength of Motorsport documentaries here. TT3D beating the million mark, and Senna becoming the third biggest doc ever here. Nice to see people coming out to support pics like this.Other surprises? Bridesmaids besting the original hangover for sure, Inbeteeners sheer size up front (did ANYONE think it was going to be THAT big THAT fast?). What else? The fact Tangled is STILL the biggest animated film of the year has to count somewhere. Cars 2's exceptionally mediocre run, worse than I think anyone was expecting. I have to admit, Apes' launch was bigger than I was expecting by about double.Besides that, there haven't been a great deal of surprises really, Harry Potter was destined to annhialate as many records as it could, pirates, hangover and transformers all did pretty much as expected as well.

Jonwo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Both KFP2 and Cars 2 underperformed, The Smurfs was a surprise hit but I think it benefitted from the lack of similar films throughout its run. Bridesmaids just took off which was a surprise considering US comedy don't tend to that well over here.Will be interesting what the box office hits of 2012 will be. The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man and The Hobbit are the surefire hits but there should be a few surprises.

SchumacherFTW Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I dunno about Spidey, theres never the level of excitement I feel there should be when he gets released here. Barring the whole 12 to 12A fiasco from back when the original came out (Still think BBFC dropped the ball there, all the numbered rating should follow the same practice in my eyes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 The Hobbit will be huge, it wouldn't surprise me if they move it forward to Wednesday 12th December to ensure a big five day weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
