JCS Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 February admissions are in! 13,960,141 Lowest since 2008... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Offset by a gigantic January, though. 2 month total over 31m, 2nd highest since at least 2005, just below 2011.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) I'm not reporting much because the box office is dead, only shit films are playing in the cinema. Oz was ok, but expected to do a lot more. This weekend, Jack will flop to less than £1.5m. Croods will do roughly £2.5m, Identity Thief £1.3m. Trance and GI Joe open on Wednesday.

Let's hope it can keep up the pace, need a solid March which is not looking great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This weekend, Jack will flop to less than £1.5m. Croods will do roughly £2.5m, Identity Thief £1.3m. Trance and GI Joe open on Wednesday. Fair enough to be honest, not a sparky BO at the moment. That is without previews for Croods right? It already has £1.7M that will be added to OW so with £2.5M it should do around £3.7M+ OW which would be good going into Easter. Jack should flop too like in the US and Identity Thief may surprise as it has done well in the US and not been a good comedy in a while. GI Joe 2 will be big.

The Dark Alfred Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 GI Joe 2 won't be big. I don't see more than £1.5m from previews. Trance will do well, I expect £1m Wed-Thu. Croods should be near £4m come Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croods should be near £4m come Sunday. We will see, I think it will do well. Trance could be hit or miss. You raise a good point JCS, when was the last comedy that came out that wasn't Burt Wonderstone? Can't remember a straight comedy in a while, at least no big ones like Ted...etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 There's a massive snow event affecting a large part of the UK today and over the weekend. I think the BO is gonna take a big hit. This winter isn't budging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Definitely helps that we gained a Skyfall and they lost an Intouchables.Any news on our openers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I had absolutely no idea. I've been more preoccupied with the Malaysian Grand Prix (could you tell? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) I imagine the openers this week will have good holds next week plus the opening of GI Joe and The Host. Oblivion been getting a lot of promotion. I think it should do £3-5m for its opening. Edited March 23, 2013 by Jonwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 So Croods is #1 with $8.3M or £5.45M! Included previews of course but a solid OW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
