Definitely is. Same as Germany and other European countries. Generally during hot and sunny periods of weather cinemas are quieter, especially the first few hot spells of summer. During rainy and cooler periods cinemas do very well. Obviously this is only a summer phenomenon. The rest of the year the weather has little to no impact.

SchumacherFTW Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 This heat wave will be the end for a while of weather having a big effect, 20c ish becomes normal after this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 What are we thinking for The Flash 5 day opening? Pre-sales don’t look great, but also not terrible. Maybe it can get close to £10m for the 5 day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 BFI IMAX looking surprisingly weak, at least for weds and Thursday. Friday peak show is busy, but not giant opening busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKBoxOffice Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Flash is looking terrible locally to me. Like, worse than Transformers. I'm sure it won't turn out that way, but it is odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it’ll do much better than Transformers, but it’s definitely muted. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it below Across the Spider-Verse’s OW.

That's the Cineworld way these days, do everything possible to squeeze money from the consumer. I do wonder how long they have until they fully collapse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to the 19.50 imax which is the busiest of the bunch, but still only 1/4 full. Cineworld keep doing this with the peak showtimes. Glad it’s IMAX 2D though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobzaruni Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Visiting the UK this week and was planning to watch The Flash here, Odeon 8PM IMAX on Wed in Greenwich is 50/280 full (18%~). Seems kinda low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 Yeah, probably won’t do near £10m. Maybe £7m or something 5 day. Weather looks good for the remainder of the week and most of the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Jatinder Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Since Verse did 9.2M 4 days, I suppose Flash likely around 5.5-6M 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) I don't see any reason why it would open anywhere near SV. Lucky to do just a bit more than half of its OW IMHO. Can have a leggy run if WoM is good. TF is an epic fail. Franchise is done here. Edited June 13, 2023 by The Dark Alfred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash definitely got a bit busier here overnight. Will check again closer to showtimes. edit: yes, the 18.10 and 19.20 showtimes have filled out a fair bit, the 19.50 IMAX has filled up nicely too since this morning. Still just under 3 hours to go. Seeing the film tonight, haven’t had any spoilers thankfully. Edited June 14, 2023 by Krissykins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnokesLegs Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 The 19:50 IMAX near me doesn’t seem to have filled up too much with walk ups, I’d say it’s about a third full. Not to be overly negative, but it definitely feels like an underperformance is on the cards here if that’s the best it can do for opening night.

Jonwo Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 now has a Monday release which now means it has a 7 Day opening, guessing they want to maximise the IMAX showings before Oppenheimer takes them. I think the weekend of Oppenheimer and Barbie will be busy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
