SchumacherFTW Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I imagine most of the advance bookings are restricted to one or two screens then expand nearer the release date, the length of Skyfall will prevent it from having a lot of showtimes but it'll make up for that with more screens. Well, at my local cineworld the only time they've opened up more than one screen to book before the 2 week barrier was DH2 as it had both 2D and 3D.

JCS Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Bond won't start selling out until later this week at the earliest. It is not a massive OD, rabid fan, frontloaded kinda film as HP was so hard to compare to DH2.For example, Westfield London (the #1 UK cinema, as we all know) still has plenty of seats left for OD shows.Cinemas can just keep adding more shows and there will be more walk in business than pre-bookings compared to fan-films like HP and Twilight.Of course though, it will have a great OW!

SchumacherFTW Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Skyfall just sold out it's 20:15 show at my local cineworld! This is earlier than I thought it would. Why can't I see this Opening Fucking Night?! I'm going to go out on a massive limb here, It's going to match DH1 at minimum.http://www.cineworld.co.uk/whatson?cinema=20#cinema=20&date=advanced Edited October 17, 2012 by Schumacher FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Wow so you think it'll top £18m? That'd be absolutely incredible, and would guarantee at least £60m. Leicester squares 1'700 seater has sold out at 20:30. Never seen that happen this early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the reception to QoS was lukewarm at best, Bond is a completely different entity to any other franchise. They always stand alone in the eyes of the public, and can easily be joined by the uninitiated. The fact that there's been enough time for Joe Public to forget about QoS, have some corking reviews in front of them and a theme song by the hottest artist in the country, I think 18m is achievable.

Heretic Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 It certainly has a lot going for it, so it wouldn't completely shock me. I wonder if it can get number 1 of the year, even beating The Hobbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'd love it to be close, but I see it getting to the DH2/TS3 range unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'd love it to be close, but I see it getting to the DH2/TS3 range unfortunatelyI do too, but I'd put the lower range at £60m-ish, which, if Skyfall opens to DH1 territory, it can easily pass.

SchumacherFTW Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I was on about The Hobbit hitting that range, but how awesome would it be if Skyfall hit that high! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Certainly would be the most surprising story of the year. PA4 is doing quite well...I doubt it's going to have a huge OD, but it should still be decent. Taken 2 on the other hand isn't showing any signs of slowing down at all. It's still selling out and much to my shock, at least around my area, it seems to be doing even better than PA4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Seriously?! Woah! I can't see how much films are selling out, cineworld need allocated seating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yeah. I thought it'd be mental for PA4. The shows tonight are quite full, but Taken 2 once again is killing it.And Sinister is still packed too. I assume that's taking some of PA4's audience away. But I'm not surprised. I just watched it and it was absolutely appalling compared to the other 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I get the feeling we're almost going to follow the Saw formula to the T. Drop this year, bigger drop next year, BIG drop the year after and then we get the seventh and final film in 3D and fans around the cinema to simulate the ghost.

JCS Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I wouldn't bet against Skyfall opening to £18M+ to be honest, Bond is bigger than ever this year it seems!The floor has to be like £15.5M right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
