I think our expectations were tempered since Cannes, therefore we don't look at it as a bad start. It is decent, but when you think about it, it's INDIANA JONES and we are looking at an opening in line with CREED 3 and JOHN WICK 4. It could have been much more had the film been great. Also, it's going to get crashed the upcoming weeks, so won't have a leggy run.

Very good, should top £7m then. Pretty decent opening all things considered.

Indiana Jones was the widest release so far this year, but opened to less than half of the previous film (£12.2m vs £5.4m). 
 

Spider Verse, No Hard Feelings, Asteroid City, The Little Mermaid & The Boogeyman all dropped less than -30%. That’s excellent, especially for the two films in their second weekends.

Both Spiderverse and TLM have had great runs here. 
 

Compared to most markets Indiana Jones did okay.

 

Will be interesting to see how Elemental performs given it’s turning into a big of a leggy beast in some markets. Probably a soft opening, but with good legs as schools break up for summer.

Barbie rated a 12A, as expected. 
 

Tickets are already booked! Hope it’s as good as it looks.

London cinema times updating atm, really hoping Elemental can get one of the Odeon West End screens, don't want to see it in a crappy cinema. 

[Krissykins]

not a great time for UK cinemas. 

[upriser7]

What kind of opening can we expect for Elemental here ?

That chain isn't particularly big, and most of their sites aren't in particularly big markets. It's still a shame though, and disappointing for sure

Is the Wimbledon tourney typically an audience sucking thing in the UK or is it more of a niche thing?

I wouldn’t call it niche, but it won’t affect box office. The only sport to really have that power is football, and even then it’s only really if England make it to the quarter/semi finals in the World Cup/Euros.

It’s a small chain, for now they’re closing 6 sites.

Yeh I’ve actually never been to one, think there is one somewhere in Glasgow.

I don’t think it usually has much of an impact. My brother is travelling there today though to see some matches. He loves Wimbledon, this will be his 5th time.

Going to Cineworlds secret screening tonight. Both 19.30 showings are sold out.

 

Personally hoping it’s Joy Ride, Talk To Me or Strays. But I have a feeling with how busy it is, people are (stupidly) expecting Barbie lol.
