SchumacherFTW Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 The other 3 were all released on wednesdays as well if i'm not mistaken. They definitely were in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 The LOTR films got Wednesday releases and it's surprising The Hobbit just got a Friday release, I imagine in many countries it'll get a Wednesday/Thursday release. MIB3 and The Pirates! In an Adventure in Scientists is released two days before the US release. The Avengers and Ice Age 4 are released a week before their US release.

SchumacherFTW Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 It's still a year to go, so it's still possible for Warner Bros to change their mind. But it does seem to be a more regular occurance than usual now, mostly because of the whole Orange Wednesday thing boosting OD attendance.

PhilipJ2001 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 pretty slow day at my cinema today. arthur christmas is still number 1, marginally ahead of puss in boots. happy feet is very poor and the previews of chipmunks (although we could only fit one show in at 12pm) was even worse.

SchumacherFTW Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 It seemed to be doing alright whenever I was in the lobby in crawley yesterday before it started (which occured with every single film I saw yesterday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 The Crawley Cineworld is a 15 Screen behemoth though And the closest bloody cinema to thats showing Harold and Kumar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 There was a really, really long Dragon Tattoo spot on the X Factor final. That's really good for it I suppose, what does everyone think that will do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Think it'll do well but I can't see it doing huge numbers but it'll have legs, depends on how it fares against the likes of The Iron Lady and War Horse in January. The other adult appealing films are J Edgar which I saw in America and enjoyed but think it would struggle here, The Artist and The Descendants.Think Puss will be number 1 although the Alvin previews should do well but I wonder if being against so many family films is affecting it? AC just continues to do well which is amazing considering it's doing poorly in the US. How did NYE do, I hope it flopped as it looked terrible!

SchumacherFTW Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 It benefits from being the only 100% adult release on the Horizom, coupled with a hugely popular book and at least 2 weeks without competition, it should do well.

lab276 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 What is the biggest 18 rated film ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 At the moment the Biggest 18 launch is 6m for Hannibal, Brüno is second with £5m. Considering this will become a 7 day weekend, I think £8m would be a good launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 £8m 7 days can't see it TBH maybe £5-6m. Mission Impossible's numbers are going to inflated due to the IMAX screenings and opening on Boxing Day. Think £13m for the combined Opening.

SchumacherFTW Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 And my 8 mil for dragon tattoo is high? It's 5 days early in at most 20 cinemas, that isn't going to inflate it to £13m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Gullivers did £7m 7 days, Tintin did £6.7m 7 days. Think Mission Impossible is going to do very well although maybe my intial prediction of £13m 11 days is a tad too high, maybe £8-9m 11 days?

SchumacherFTW Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Tattoo and MI4 will do similar numbers I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
