Heretic Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Absolutely horrendous numbers.But I guess it was to be expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I think things will pick up next week, The Sweeney is out on Wednesday and there is a few films on Friday like Paranorman and Hope Springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Very poor for openers. Even all the holdovers plummeted.Brave should be good for £22m ($35m) though, which is brilliant.TDKR hanging in there still, should finish over £57m ($91.2m), nearly £10m above it's predecessor, and even with the weak exchange rate, over TDK in dollars!Ted almost at £30m. One of the most impressive runs of the year. Should just be able to hit $50m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It's been a good summer overall considering The Olympics and football, it won't pick up until October which should be a jammed packed month with Taken 2, Madagascar 3, Skyfall etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Bad, bad weekend. Only 1 film (Dredd) made it over £1M for the weekend.That's My Boy not even in the Top 10, that is a shock for a Sandler comedy. I knew it would flop but not this badly.Brave, TDKR and Ted still chugging along nicely. Some great totals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 That's My Boy not even in the Top 10, that is a shock for a Sandler comedy. I knew it would flop but not this badly.It deserves. That movie deserves everything bad that may happen to it. It is the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) It deserves. That movie deserves everything bad that may happen to it. It is the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen.It probably does deserve it, but I just thought it would make the Top 10 at least! But instead it has mega-bombed.I even turned down free preview tickets to see it, that is how bad I thought it looked... FYI, Dredd 3D is the first #1 weekend film that is an 18 since Saw 3D in October 2010! Edited September 10, 2012 by JCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 A Sandler film can do well if it looks good like Grown Ups and Just Go With It, TMB just look horrendous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCS Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Sod off has it been that long since an 18 was king!I know, quite unbelievable!But if you think about, there are barely any big 18 films these days. Vast majority are 12 or 15 now.A Sandler film can do well if it looks good like Grown Ups and Just Go With It, TMB just look horrendous.Both of those were awful too, people still have Jack & Jill in mind as well.Sandler's career has generally nosedived and TMB shows the extent of it.So TDRK is already over TDK in dollars?Soon. Very soon.Take into consideration the exchange rate too and this is a big achievement for TDKR. Edited September 10, 2012 by JCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 18 rating is generally avoided especially for comedy, you make a lot more money from a 15 and I've noticed 12A is more the standard rating, a lot of action films unless they are incredibly violent or sweary tend to be 15.

Heretic Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 TDKR returning to IMAX this weekend!Paranorman should easily grab the top spot I think. Maybe £1.5-2m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) I'm thinking it'll be The Sweeney as it has a five day opening. Paranorman should be over £1m easily, the lack of kiddie films will help. Edited September 11, 2012 by Jonwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Sweeney looks awesome. Fingers crossed it'll do the £6m needed to reach the profit land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
