Leyla Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Monsters University tops UK chart15 July, 2013 | By Ian Sandwell Disney’s animated prequel scores $5.2m (£3.45m) debut to dethrone Despicable Me 2; Warner Bros’ Pacific Rim opens with $3.3m (£2.19m). Despite graduating top of the UK box office and toppling Despicable Me 2, Monsters University suffered the effects of the sun over the weekend. Disney’s animated prequel (the latest from animation giant Pixar) debuted with $5.2m (£3.45m) from its 525 sites, resulting in the second lowest opening of all time for a Pixar feature in the UK topping only Cars’ $4m (£2.7m). For comparison, its predecessor Monsters Inc started its UK run with $13.8m (£9.2m), including $4m (£2.7m) in previews, before going on to take $57m (£37.9m), the third best Pixar performance in the UK. The sunny weather undoubtably played its part and with the upcoming school holidays, there’s every chance to expect Monsters University to enjoy a healthy and long UK run. For example, excluding previews, The Croods debuted with $5.5m (£3.5m) in March and went on to take $39m (£26.2m).UNIVERSALUniversal’s Despicable Me 2 has now overtaken Fox’s The Croods to become 2013’s top animated grosser. The 3D sequel narrowly saw off Pacific Rim to chart second with $3.34m (£2.22m) and climb to a hugely impressive $40.8m (£27.1m) to date. Given that it’s in its third weekend (fourth, if you include the weekend previews before its release), this weekend’s healthy performance despite the weather showcases that, for now, the Minions are proving to be a more attractive family prospect than Pixar’s Monsters.WARNER BROSLanding third on its debut was Warner Bros’ robots vs. monsters spectacle Pacific Rim. The latest feature from Guillermo del Toro scored a solid, but not spectacular, $3.3m (£2.19m) opening from its 485 sites at an average of $6,811 (£4,522). A total of $1.8m (£1.2m) of the film’s gross came from 3D screens, including IMAX. That result marks del Toro’s third best UK debut, behind Blade 2’s $3.8m (£2.5m) from 345 sites and Hellboy 2: The Golden Army’s $4.5m (£2.97m) from 464 sites. It’s worth noting that the latter was boosted by $1.7m (£1.1m) in previews. Pacific Rim should enjoy a sturdy holdover this week without the arrival of any direct competition for the 12A audience. Also for Warner Bros, Man of Steel edged closer to £30m and stands at $43.95m (£29.2m).EONEPosting the best holdover in the top 10, eOne’s Now You See Me added $1.7m (£1.1m) in its second weekend. The heist thriller is now up to a strong $8.1m (£5.4m) after 12 days in play and, if it holds up this weekend as well, could well challenge The Incredible Hulk’s $12.5m (£8.3m) result to become director Louis Leterrier’s second-best UK performer.FOXIn its second weekend, Fox’s The Internship added $599,000 (£397,644) for $3.4m (£2.3m) to date. At the same stage in its run, director Shawn Levy’s previous foray into comedy, Date Night, stood at $4m (£2.6m). Also for Fox, animated film Epic has taken $19.5m (£12.9m) to date.PARAMOUNTZombie action-thriller World War Z is now up to $19.9m (£13.2m) in the UK through Paramount, following a $577,000 (£382,972) weekend.SONYApocalypse comedy This is the End added $272,000 (£181,000) in its third weekend through Sony and has now amassed $5.5m (£2.68m). Also for Sony, Before Midnight and After Earth have grossed $1.03m (£684,000) and $9.4m (£6.2m), respectively.PICTUREHOUSEFollowing its much-publicised multi-platform release last week, Picturehouse’s A Field in England added $4,871 (£3,235) from 27 shows over its second weekend for $57,000 (£36,700) to date. Leading sites were Greenwich, Ritzy and ICA. Click here for more Field in England figures.UPCOMING RELEASESThis week’s only saturation release belongs to Universal’s The World’s End, the much anticipated closer to Edgar Wright’s Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. Koch Media’s The Frozen Ground and Artificial Eye’s EIFF opener Breathe In both receive wide releases, while Lionsgate’s Easy Money and Soda’s Wadjda are among the films receiving a limited release. http://www.screendaily.com/news/box-office/monsters-university-tops-uk-chart/5058300.article?blocktitle=LATEST-UK-BOX-OFFICE-NEWS&contentID=40073 aww nysm held well :wub: c'mon holidays!!!

Heretic Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 The World's End opens this week. Probably will be one of the biggest British films of the summer. But I don't know how it'll perform on the weekend. It's still hot and sunny. Anyway, kids break up this week, so hopefully everything holds well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 how do people think the following films will do here over the summer? The HeatRed 2Alan PartridgeThe Lone RangerPercy JacksonElyesiumThe Heat I think should do okay, not sure about Red 2 think it may get Lost with the competition that week from Heat, Conjuring and to a lesser extent The Smurfs 2AP is a tricky one as I'm unsure whether a movie can be as successful but I think it'll do good, Lone Ranger I imagine will do £1.5-2m at best Elysium I think will do decent business, PJ not sure, was the first one even a hit?

CJohn Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 May and June were extremely strong, but like in the US, July and August look much weaker than previous years. That happens all around the world.

The Dark Alfred Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I know that the trailers weren't that great, but print checked it and trust me AWE might well be the best of the trilogy!!! The weather hits every film, but I guess AWE and MU will have nice, long runs, PR will be buried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It's like 30 degrees here so naturally not many people will be going to the cinema. When the Brits get a bit if sun, they orgasm over it. The piss take is I've just gone on holiday to Spain, I pick the time to go when England is just as hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
