Jonwo Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Lets not forget StreetDance 3D won against Prince of Persia.Streetdance was an unexpected surprise, I just don't expect Streetdance 2 to do as well against Titans and Pirates!As for The Lorax, I don't get why it's being delayed until summer either.

SchumacherFTW Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'm still not sure why Streetdance was bigger than the Step Up films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertron Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'm still not sure why Streetdance was bigger than the Step Up films.Wasn't Street Dance 3D a British film? That would explain it being bigger than the Step Up films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yes, StreetDance is British. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The Muppets has been huge the last couple of days at my cinema. The Artist has also gone up loads since the BAFTA win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wonder how The Vow did on Valentine's Day, imagine it was the choice for many couples. I imagine The Muppets would have done great in the mornings and afternoons but not so well in the Evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I don't think that The Vow did great on VD. It was a boost, but not a huge one, there were plenty of other choices, like Titanic and This Means War. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Interesting article... Latest figures released by the BFI confirm 2011 as a record-breaking year for British films at the UK box office. The success of films such as The King's Speech, the Inbetweeners Movie and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spysaw British independent films take an unprecedented 13.5 per cent share of UK box office. Taken with major British productions such as the final Harry Potter movie and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, that success saw all British films take a box office share of 36.2 per cent, up from 24 per centin 2010. Commenting on these figures, CEA Chief Executive Phil Clapp said: "The performance of British films last year confirms the key argument we made to the Panel leading the recent Film Policy Review, namely that when UK audiences are presented with high quality British films, they will turn out in huge numbers. The challenge is to ensure that that supply of movies contiues and finds its way to the big screen. The CEA lloks forward to working with industry partners to help ensure that happens and that awareness amongst the public of this success story continues. With a slate for the coming year that includes British films as diverse as Streetdance 2 3D, Welcome to the Punch, Skyfall, Great Expectations, Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, The Sweeney, 360, Snow White and the Huntsman, Shadow Dancer, Now Is Goodand World War Z, I think we all have reason to be optimistic."

Heretic Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Huge boosts during half-term for a lot of films but I expect some big falls this upcoming weekend.Safe House is probably the only significant opener this week. It's doing very well in the US...could be the same here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipJ2001 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is out this week as well. Should be a pretty solid hit with the older generation. Although as such it will probably do better midweek than at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 it's interesting that the muppets didn't win either weekend, but is actually still ahead of the woman in black because of the midweek business.It's funny how over here family films often do better midweek than at the weekends during school holidays, but it almost never happens in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The Muppets increased massively! Looking good for £15-16m and it was only £90,000 behind WIB. Safe House will likely knock WIB off the top spot. Best Exotic Marigold Hotel should have a top five position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
