UKBoxOffice Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 if late night business is good it might get up near £4m. I'd say something like £3.6m though based on the numbers right now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ando Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Pretty confused by these UK numbers. Should be higher. Dune was very well received and crushed it on Home Video there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeManiac Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Dune debuting like this, is shockingly low to me. This was everywhere in the tube stations, buses (I live in London) and it was discussed by so many that they were expecting to watch it. Probably good legs?

Wotad Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 It is weird that this seems to be a country its sort of underperforming the expectations. It did better in UK than France/Germany though so maybe less like ground to make up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solaris Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 The first one opened with £5.8m With £2.8m Friday and £3.6m Saturday this should get to at least £9m for the full weekend (+50% from part one). Weak exchange rate isn't helping but still a pretty good result. BFI IMAX is sold out or near sold out for most of the next month... The only showings with vaguely decent seats left are Monday or Tuesday morning showings at the end of March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we’re not seeing a bigger jump like the US because we don’t have HBOMax, so the original wasn’t day and date here.

It's not helping if you're comparing the openings in USD (not saying that anyone here is, but that's how it'll be reported in the weekend write ups, and how UK opening weekend will be compared to Germany, France etc) But yes, I agree - no day/date holding back part one opening as in US, and there were fewer (if any) covid restrictions still in place by the time this opened here in October vs rest of Europe in September (I think Germany and France both still had restrictions in place at that time, but I might be wrong). So a 50% increase is still pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 First one definitely felt like an early event in the new world, can't remember whether it was before or after No Time to Die here. But still, it probably played closer to it's potential back then compared to other territories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 Bit confused with why some people seem so disappointed in these numbers? Didn’t realise expectations were so high. £9m+ is a pretty great opening IMO for a film that people want to see in PLFs and is nearly 3 hours long. It’s basically doubled the first Dune’s opening if it was like-for-like, and also seems to be in line with US. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this is doing great business, still seems busy with pre-sales during the week near me too. There’s nothing to be disappointed with here.

Krissykins Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I think only the Friday number was at first underwhelming then it had a great weekend multiplier. I wouldn’t say the 3 day was a disappointment at all. Only a -23% second weekend drop for Wicked Little Letters too, nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
