SchumacherFTW Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 really quiet for hitchcock at my cinema tonight.. does not bode well for the weekend.wreck it ralph was ok for a friday for a family film. should do well tomorrow. Hitchcock should have been out in early December. Though I doubt until a month ago that Warm Bodies or I Give it a Year seemed like much of a threat.

JCS Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Looks like WIR will be #1 for the weekend then, hope it gets to £3M or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Pretty good for Ralph, on par with what the The Muppets did in its first Friday and that had competition from The Woman in Black, should easily do over 1m today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Ralph sold out it's first show of the day at my local, lets hope it keeps up the pace throughout the rest of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Wouldn't be surprised if it increased 100% today. Next weekend it could stay flat or even increase a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Wouldn't be surprised if it increased 100% today. Next weekend it could stay flat or even increase a little.Die Hard will likely be number 1 but I imagine WIR will handily beat off the competition from Beautiful Creatures and This is 40 even tough both have 5 and 4 day openings, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Die Hard will likely be number 1 but I imagine WIR will handily beat off the competition from Beautiful Creatures and This is 40 even tough both have 5 and 4 day openings, TI40 is getting no showtimes around me, and very few big cinemas are giving it more than 2 or 3 on Valentines day which will easily be it's biggest day. I could see it open outside the top 5, Sammy's Escape will beat it I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCS Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 You'd think Hitchcock would do better here than in the USA as he is English and a pioneering and world famous legend of a director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCS Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 WIR #1 with a great $7.2M OW! £4.5M OW, wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 That's better than I expected, just a little below Tangled, hopefully it'll hold up, should easily get to £15m, maybe even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 That's an excellent opening. With half term next week, it should have a soft drop under 30%, and I wouldn't put £20m out of reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 £20M for WIR would be fantastic and is achievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Screendaily article:Following four straight weeks as the UK’s champion, Universal’s Les Misérables has been ousted by Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph, which debuted with a strong $7.1m (£4.5m) to take the top spot.The 3D animation set in the world of arcade games led throughout the weekend, and its $7.1m (£4.5m) debut compares favourably to recent Walt Disney Animation Studios efforts. Its opening is a touch behind that of Tangled ($8m/£5.1m), which went on to take a healthy $32.2m (£20.5m), but almost double that of The Princess and the Frog ($3.5m/£2.2m) and almost topped the entire UK run of Meet The Robinsons ($7.5m/£4.8m).Bolt debuted with $8.6m (£5.4m) in 2009, yet it’s worth noting that $4.1m (£2.6m) of that came from previews.Despite falling a place to second, Universal’s Les Misérables - which led the BAFTA field with four wins - can still be pleased with an estimated $2.7m (£1.7m) fifth weekend to push it up to $53.3m (£33.5m) in the UK.Tom Hooper’s ambitious adaptation of the much-loved musical has now fallen far behind Mamma Mia’s pace in the UK, which stood at $61.6m (£39.2m) at the same stage in its run and still had five weekends of over £1m in the tank.Les Misérables will need encores if it’s to dethrone Mamma Mia as the UK’s biggest grossing musical at $107.7m (£68.5m).The week’s second highest new entry belonged to StudioCanal’s I Give It A Year which delivered an impressive debut to chart third in a crowded field.Dan Mazer’s directorial debut laughed its way to a non-final $2.4m (£1.5m) from 397 sites and is now set for a strong first week thanks to positive reviews and Valentine’s Day falling on Thursday.In terms of recent romantic comedies, I Give It A Year topped the openings of the likes of The Five-Year Engagement ($1.7m/£1.1m from 457) and What To Expect When You’re Expecting ($1m/£661,617 from 416), as well as already surpassing the entire UK run of the recent British effort The Wedding Video ($1.7m/£1.1m).Falling two places to fourth was Sony’s Django Unchained which dropped a respectable 36% in its fourth week on its way to $1.7m (£1.1m).Quentin Tarantino’s latest opus - which scooped two BAFTAs last night - is now up to $19.5m (£12.4m) in the UK, narrowly behind Pulp Fiction’s $19.9m (£12.7m) haul which Django Unchained will overtake this week to become Tarantino’s highest UK grosser.Rounding off this week’s top five was Paramount’s Flight, which coasted to a $1.5m (£950,000) second weekend for a ten-day tally of $5.1m (£3.2m).Debuting just outside in sixth was eOne’s Warm Bodies with a solid, if unspectacular, opening of around $1.4m (£890,000) from its 319 sites. That being said, it does mark director Jonathan Levine’s best-ever UK debut, almost doubling the result of his previous strongest 50/50, which recorded a $644,000 (£410,251) debut albeit from less sites (228).Fox’s awards contenders Life of Pi and Lincoln have now grossed $44.1m (£28.1m) and $9.3m (£5.9m), respectively, in the UK. Life of Pi scooped two BAFTAs last night, while Lincoln won just the one for Daniel Day-Lewis from ten nominations.Meanwhile, Fox’s Hitchcock opened with a $955,000 (£608,835) debut from its 407 sites to chart eighth.This week sees saturation releases for Entertainment’s Beautiful Creatures (opens Feb 13), Fox’s A Good Day to Die Hard (opens Feb 14) and Universal’s This Is 40 (opens Feb 14). Warner Bros’ Sammy’s Adventures 2 receives a wide release following previews this past weekend, while Axiom’s Side By Side and Ball Park’s Run For Your Wife (opens Feb 14) are among the films receiving a limited release.

Heretic Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Les Mis will pass $60m soon, although it loses Imax this week. Should end in the low $60ms. An excellent run.Pretty good for I Give It A Year, with Valentine's day and holidays next week, it should do $8-10m.Great for Django. Looks to finish around $25m.Life of Pi still chugging along, will end around $47m, and Lincoln is doing very well. Mid teens finish.As for this week, Die Hard opens. I expect a drop, but over the 5 day period it should manage £4-5m. WIR will likely still win the 3 day though with a very soft drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
