mcneil039 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Lost for words now, but this is looking certain for a minimum of £14.5m, with the outside possibility of £15m if it holds very well on Sunday. Great for MoS and WWZ too! Out of curiosity and general laziness, how did Shrek 2 & 3 do in GBP terms? I too am lost for words now, I actually witnessed one of the UK's greatest B.O. day in history in one of its busiest cinemas. Talk about getting more than your money's worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Shrek 2 opened to with £16.2m, and ended with £48.1m. Shrek 3 opened to £16.7m, and ended with £38.1m, obviously because of bad WOM. Edited June 30, 2013 by Heretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcneil039 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 So in other words,Even factor in inflation, for DM2 to open to (potentially) 15m, almost Shrek 2 level, and it did this with significantly weaker previews, is completely out of this worldly amazing.

Jandrew Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) My "how bee-do-bee-do how big will DM2 be?" write up! Please check it out. I'm glad this movie is already kicking butts and taking names. http://jaysonb593.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-bee-do-bee-do-big-can-despicable-me.html Edited June 30, 2013 by LeFlop James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 we're down a fair bit today on Despicable Me.. it is very sunny here though so maybe that's the reason. it's still busy, but nothing like the madness of yesterday. it's more like what I would have expected for both days prior to release.

mcneil039 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Things at my local Vue cinema are also notably quieter than y'day. Like you said it could be the weather (lol only in England would a GOOD day have a bad impact on box office) so maybe 15 is out of reach but hope it can still do 14.5M for the weekend Edited June 30, 2013 by DespicableMEnions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juni78ukr Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Maybe Formula-1 race hurt box office overall a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 It's hot today, that'll definitely effect the day aswell. But, It's still locked for at least £14m which is nothing short of spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmacader Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 any numbers for MOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcneil039 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I wouldnt exactly call 26C as hot since Beijing was like above 30C since late April but judging by the weather we've had this year it probably qualifies as hot. Maybe sports/music in general have something to do? You know, with Glastonbury and Robbie Williams having a concert at Wembley, and with F1 and Wimbledon. I'm prob talking rubbish here. Still amazing numbers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 It's perfect bbq weather. Not too hot, but just very pleasant so people take advantage.But yeah, Glastonbury, Wimbledon, F1, good weather can all have an effect. But it doesn't matter anyway, it's already done more than anyone imagined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrek Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 This films numbers just keep going up! First it was £10m (even then users were extremely happy) and every update has increased since then. Oh man can you imagine if the same thing happens in North America? This is going to be a fun week to track that's for sure! WTG UK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcneil039 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 The 4:30pm screening I attended with friends today was sold out. The crowd loved it as usual. The kids go absolutely nuts with the minions.
