If this Easter weekend follows previous trends then today will be flat or down slightly, Sunday down a lot, and then Monday the best day of the 4.

 

I should think it is quite weather dependent as well though.

I wonder if the clocks going forward might impact Sunday morning?

Saturday

 

1. Godzilla £1.32m

2. Panda £1.26m

3. Ghosbusters £731k

4. Dune £567k

5. Mother £93k

 

Not surprised by those drops, yesterday was one of the nicest days for weather in months. Might take the edge off drops today since another bad weather day is forecast.

Yes. but who wants to get up and take the kids to the cinema when they've already had 1 hour less sleep than usual?

It’s a bank holiday weekend though, so it won’t be missed as much as usual. It won’t have any impact whatsoever.

Those Easter Sunday drops...ouch. Naturally it's still all to play from today but ended up being a pretty rough weekend except for Dune.

How is Kung Fu Panda 4’s opening weekend in the UK compared to the first three’s if you don’t mind me asking?

 

Kung Fu Panda - £6.1m

Kung Fu Panda 2 - £6.2m

Kung Fu Panda 3 - £4.8m

 

So it's the second-lowesting opening in the franchise, but it's also the only one tactically dropped at the start of a holiday period. The first opened three weeks before summer holidays, the third 2 weeks before Easter and the second didn't drop until right after the May half-term. 

 

Now...KFP3 had previews on the preceding weekend so it actually only did £3.2m on its "initial" FSS and £1.6m in previews. The same goes for the previous two films, so here's the numbers for all four films' official first FSS.

 

Kung Fu Panda: £3.11m

Kung Fu Panda 2: £3.07m

Kung Fu Panda 3: £3.18m

Kung Fu Panda 4: £3.9m

Bit hard to compare due to different opening patterns etc, but here you go.

 

Kung Fu Panda (late-June opening, 3 weeks before holidays)
Preview Weekend
Saturday £862k
Sunday £827k

 

Opening Weekend
Friday £756k
Saturday £1.86m
Sunday £1.76m
Total = £4.38m
Total opening including Previews = £6.07m

 

Lifetime Gross = £20.15m

 

 

Kung Fu Panda 2 (mid-June opening, 1 month before holidays)
Wednesday 770k
Thursday £527k
Friday £413k
Saturday £549k
Sunday £751k
5 Day Opening Weekend = £3.01m

 

Lifetime gross = £16.92m

 

 

Kung Fu Panda 3 (mid-March opening, two weeks before holidays)
Preview Weekend
Saturday £850k
Sunday £734k

 

Opening Weekend
Friday £431k
Saturday £1.60m
Sunday £1.14m
Total = £3.17m
Total opening including previews = £4.75m

 

Lifetime gross = £14.28m

 

 

I should think number 4 will probably become the top grossing entry of the series, although it's obviously been helped a lot by inflation since the original film.

All traditional FSS openings as well whilst KFP4 opened on a Thursday. So it's the lowest FSS in the franchise, but it's also the only one tactically dropped at the start of a holiday period. The first opened three weeks before summer holidays, the third 2 weeks before Easter and the second didn't drop until right after the May half-term so it didn't benefit at all.

 

I also think some of these had previews on preceding weekends so it might fudge the numbers a bit more.

 

just looked at the discrepancy in our Kung Fu Panda 2 figures and it had a very strange release. The £6.2m figure is actually a 9 day opening - opening on a Wednesday until Monday but then skipping the following Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday - and coming back from Friday. Weird.

Yeah we must have been figuring that out at the same time because I've edited mine now to reflect the release strategy of all three films lol 

 

Bottom line...fairly useless comparisons

-21.4% and -47% drops for Late Night with the Devil and Immaculate. Nice. 

Not surprised about LNWTD, it was packed at my showing on Saturday, and seems to have been performing well all week.
