Looks like a solid weekend despite Borderlands and Harold. Especially if Inside Out can have a great Saturday jump, it could mean 5 films over £1m. 

[Jonwo]

I wouldn't be surprised if Twisters outgrosses Borderlands dailies in the coming week. 

 

Clearly parents and kids aren't that desperate to see Harold.

[UKBoxOffice]

Deadpool will be back on top today. Twisters above Borderlands

Sun affected Sunday BO with holdovers all dropping 70%+ but doubt anyone would have predicted D&W wouldn't stay top until Aliens.

That’s a healthy top 10. Incredible start for It Ends With Us, glad it got the #1. Happy to see Twisters pass £12m too.

What about Borderlands?

Outright rejection. £550k for the weekend after the amount of promotion it’s had is just downright ugly.

[Jonwo]

Four day opening for Borderlands as well, the audience clearly weren't interested.

I’m not sure if the £550k includes Thursday, as Fri + Sat was £400k already. Unless it does.

 

Edit; yeh £813k including Thursday

I meant healthy top 10 as in 10 films above £200k with 4 above £1m. A few weeks ago we had several films in the top 10 doing under £100k. 

[Krissykins]

Trap is above Old and Knock at the Cabin at least.

 

“It is above the openings of Shyamalan’s last two films – 2021’s Old (£867,431) and 2023’s Knock At The Cabin (£986,320).”

[UKBoxOffice]

Those numbers might be off. Some problem with Odeon's data. Expect everything to increase somewhat

[UKBoxOffice]

Colleen Hoover’s novel adaptation It Ends With Us debuts at No.1 with £4.5m. The romantic drama starring Blake Lively is the fifth biggest opening of the genre in the last decade, surpassing The Fault In Our Stars (£3.4m), Little Women (£3.6m) and A Star Is Born (£3.8m), and placing only behind Fifty Shades Freed (£6.1m), La La Land (£6.5m), Fifty Shades Darker (£7.5m) and Fifty Shades Of Grey (£13.5m). In our PostTrak exit poll, the audience awarded the title 4 stars and an 83% Total Positive score, with the scores increasing to 88% among male audiences under 25. The genre/type of film (25%) and I came with someone who wanted to see it (20%) were the main reasons cited for attending, with TikTok (19%) being mentioned as the prevalent source of awareness.

After holding the top spot for two weeks, Deadpool & Wolverine moves to No.2 with £4.0m, a drop of 49% in its third weekend. Shawn Levy’s sequel has now crossed the £40m mark; surpassing Dune: Part II (£39.6m) to place as the second biggest release of the year, behind only Inside Out 2 (£54.1m). With a total of £42.9m, Marvel Studios' latest release has also overtaken the lifetime total of Deadpool (£38.1m), becoming the biggest title of the Deadpool franchise.

Despicable Me 4 moves to No.3 with £1.5m, dropping 40% in its fifth weekend of release. With £35.5m to date, Illumination's sixth entry in the franchise is the fourth biggest title of 2024, tracking only 10% behind Dune: Part II (£39.6m).

Trap is the second-highest new opener at No.4 with £1.1m. M. Night Shyamalan’s latest opening is ahead of his latest releases 2023’s Knock At The Cabin (£986k) and 2021’s Old (£867k), and behind 2019’s Glass (£3.4m) and 2017’s Split (£2.5m). PostTrak audience gave it a 3-star rating and a 76% Total Positive score, with the highest scores of 83% coming from female audiences under 25. In-cinema Trailer/Preview was the main source of awareness mentioned by 29%, with the main reason for choosing to watch the film being the subject matter/plot (35%).

Warner also takes the No.5 spot with Twisters, adding £619k in its fourth weekend. Lee Isaac Chung’s action-adventure is the fifteenth release of 2024 to cross the £12m milestone so far.

Inside Out 2 is at No.6 with £618k, and has the lowest drop of the Top 10 at -35%. After nine weeks of release, Pixar’s sequel has now crossed the £54m milestone and surpassed Frozen 2 (£53.7m) to become the fifth-highest animated release of all time. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is currently the fourth biggest with £54.9m.

At No.7 is Eli Roth’s video-game adaptation Borderlands as the third new opener of the weekend with £584k, and will chart at No.5 in the official chart with £843k including its Thursday previews. In our PostTrak exit poll Kids audience gave it the highest rating of 4 stars and a 97% Total Positive score, with 78% saying they would recommend the title to their friends as a must see. Word of mouth was the main reason for attending among Kids with 31% saying a friend told me “it was good”. Among Parents audience, the genre was the main driver for attending mentioned by nearly half of the audience (48%), with their Definitely Recommend scores also coming in high at 68%

Harold And The Purple Crayon is at No.8 with £215k, dropping 51% from its opening weekend. Carlos Saldanha’s family picture has a total gross of £1.4m.

Longlegs is at No.9 with £212k, a drop of 63% in its fifth weekend. Oz Perkins’ horror picture has a total gross of £7.5m.

Closing the chart is Sony’s re-release of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 is at No.10 with £208k. Raimi’s original release opened with £8.7m back in 2004 and went on to gross £26.5m.

Rich Peppiatt’s Irish comedy-drama Kneecap ranks at No.3 in the Republic of Ireland with €217k (including Thursday). The title is expanding across the rest of the UK on 23rd August.

The overall box office is down only -2% from last weekend, and up +1% on the equivalent weekend in 2023 when Barbie remained at No.1 in its fourth weekend with £4.4m, followed by Oppenheimer at No.2 with £3.1m. New openers included Haunted Mansion at No.4 with £990k and Gran Turismo: Based On A True Story at No.6 with £713k.

Year-to-date, 2024 is now running 15% behind the same period in 2023.

This week we have the animation Ozi: Voice Of The Forest (Signature) following on from its previews this weekend and releasing on Friday 16th alongside Fede Alvarez's Alien: Romulus (Disney).

[Krissykins]

Not surprised Trap trailer was the main source of awareness, think I seen it about 15 times lol.

 

+1% on 2023.

With hottest temperatures of the year all films must have dropped heavily yesterday, saying that with temperatures as they were yesterday surely the cinema is one of the best places to be as it was too hot to be outside?

Little Women and the Fifty Shades series being considered the same genre...

 

cause you know women movies - they're all the same.
