Could it top D&W today? Will it be front-load and will it be affected by 90f temperatures on Sunday? @UKBoxOffice could confirm this I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKBoxOffice Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 there are some 12A and some 15 trailers for Beetlejuice, but that doesn't mean it will definitely be a 15. If the horror\gore elements are more condensed then a trailer might get a 15 rating, but if it's fleeting within the wider work then it could sneak a 12A. It Ends With Us should easily be #1 today 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s precisely why they get more leniency, because they’re clearly fantastical and they assume that younger viewers will be able to tell the difference. If The Hunger Games was set in present day Brixton, or if The Woman In Black was about a serial killer stalking Daniel Radcliffe rather than a ghost, they’d have both received higher ratings (although the original Hunger Games is actually a 15 in its uncut form, and I believe The Woman in Black was borderline). It Ends With Us is rated 15 for sexual violence and domestic abuse though, and the BBFC are always hard on both of those (sexual violence wouldn’t be suitable at all in a 12A in my opinion, surprised it’s a PG13 in the US to be honest). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenbackBoogie Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Will National Cinema Day be August 31st? As latest Andre Reiu opens Sat/Sun in 500+ screens likely many cinemas won't be part of it and last year some indie exhibitors including Everyman weren't part of NCD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) It Ends With Us will likely be frontloaded, the weird thing is that it's taken a while for shows to sellout and you can easily get tickets for Saturday and Sunday. 1 hour ago, SnokesLegs said: That’s precisely why they get more leniency, because they’re clearly fantastical and they assume that younger viewers will be able to tell the difference.

Trap is a 15 as well but that makes a lot of sense given the premise. In Ireland, It Ends With Us is a 15A which means you can bring anyone under 15 with an adult but honestly I think there are some films where young kids shouldn't be allowed to see them even with parents. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice I think it'll be 12A just because it's not scary but weird. It's more akin to Ghostbusters than a horror film.

Could say the same thing about B&W as there was plenty of seats available Thurs-Sun for walk-ins.. Even at key sites like BFI IMAX didn't have a sellout show.

Jonwo Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Everyman not taking part in National Cinema Day is probably because they don't want the riff raff making a mess in their cinemas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article on the BBFC a while back that went into how trailers are rated differently to features. Because trailer imagery can be quite sudden or missing context, if there's anything remotely scary they may end up rating the trailer higher than what the actual film ends up being. So Beetlejuice could still be a 12A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 Looks like potentially £5m+ opening for It End With Us then, impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll fall slightly short of £5m because sales aren't as good tonight but still enough to get to number 1 or a strong number 2. I wonder if the more upmarket cinemas like Everyman are benefitting from something like It Ends With Us since it's more adult oriented.
