htall90 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Some months were weaker than others like March and April which were weak as was September and June suffered due to the football and January, May and August were down from last year too. The stand out month was definetly October with three strong performers in Taken 2, Madagascar 3 and Skyfall.I think 2013 will still be a solid year for films but I imagine there won't be a film that breaks £50m apart from The Hobbit pt 2.Yeh cannot see a breakout hit in the UK next year Iron man 3,Hobbit 2,and the hangover 3 maybe the biggest films next year.

Jonwo Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) I think Monsters University will do very well but it scheduled on the same day as Pacific Rim. They should push it back a week to coincide with the last day of school for the summer.I think they'll be a lot of £20-30m films although if MU is great, it may do near £40m.

htall90 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I am hoping Monsters University does really well as well.Damn yh forgot about that. It could be big hit Monster Inc was popular her and uk audiences are pretty fond of Pixar films. I am personally a huge fan of most Pixar movies.

Jonwo Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 April was definitely not weak, unless you think 15m tickets is weak.I forgot Avengers was released at the end of April so error on my part and thinking about it, March was up from 2011 too thanks to The Hunger Games.

Heretic Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Actuals for The Hobbit went up £0.3m. So £11.6m opening. Not bad.Good for Skyfall too. I imagine it'll be close to £99m by the end of next weekend, and over the holidays it'll probably play very well, so it could see a total around £102-103m in the end.Twilight will probably end around £36m which is excellent for it, and both ROTG and Nativity will both probably do £8-10m.1 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Warner Bros) £11,601,538 £11,601,5382 Rise Of The Guardians (Paramount) £1,250,469 £5,713,6623 Nativity 2: Danger In The Manger! (eOne) £938,309 £5,582,2244 Skyfall (Sony) £809,406 £97,897,4045 Tinker Bell And The Secret Of The Wings 3D (Walt Disney) £528,820 £528,8206 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (eOne) £509,872 £34,420,0727 Seven Psychopaths (Momentum) £452,293 £2,133,9488 Silver Linings Playbook (Entertainment) £231,714 £4,104,6329 Argo (Warner Bros) £108,384 £5,153,26210 Great Expectations (Lionsgate) £100,137 £1,730,925 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Life of Pi opens Thursday. It's a bit of a wildcard really. I can definitely sense an interest, and advertisement has been good. It could be quite a big hit if it catches on, or, it could be a bit of a flop. I'll say £2-3m for its first 4 days, but over the holidays it could potentially get £15m+ if it has strong WOM.The Hobbit will definitely keep the number 1 spot I think until Les Mis. I can see it dropping maybe 35% to £7.5m ($12.2m), which may put it close to $40m by Sunday; the first weekend of a 2 week holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Good for TH1. It should be finishing very close to 50m.CR got 8.4x multiplier from this weekend. If Skyfall can somehow manage that, it will reach close to 104m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 That would be nearly $170m. Such an incredible run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Without a doubt. It's not even a question.Plenty of questions. Hell Avatar's run in UK was more impressive to me. It had so so opening and somehow kept going and going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) To me, it's not a question at all. What run could possibly be more impressive?And Avatar? No way. It's legs were INSANE just like everywhere else which was amazing to see, but had it not been for 3D, it probably would have done £80m max. Skyfall is heading for somewhere between £102-105m and it's a 2D film which opened in October, so it didn't get the holiday boost movies have over Christmas and New Year. I've said it so many times before, but is absolutely unprecedented. Edited December 17, 2012 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legs were absolutely insane on it. Like I said to me, Avatar's run was greater in UK but you're entitled to your opinion.

Jonwo Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Guardians is doing well, only a small drop from last week. The Hobbit did very well,it should have a good drop next week. Life of Pi should do well, £2-2.5m four days is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
