SchumacherFTW Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'd guess a cross between it being reasonably well reviewed, being set in a popular period, and people wanting to see how harry potter fares without a magic stick.

Heretic Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Wow. Woman In Black has had a shocking run! I would never have thought this could get into the high teens. It's obviously because of Daniel Radcliffe though. He understandably has a massive following here after Potter. Plus, the film is getting brilliant WOM.Good openings too.This Means War could do decently...maybe £1.5m. Maybe one last #1 for WIB? That would be an amazing feat.

Jonwo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) John Carter will be number 1 although not seen much hype for it. Think The big March releases will be The Hunger Games, Wrath of the Titans and The Pirates!The Muppets has done great business despite the stiff competition from WIB. Disney will be pleased if it hits £15-16m total which is very good for a family film without 3D. I'm sort of surprised with the lack of animated and family films, Universal missed a trick not releasing The Lorax in March, Edited February 28, 2012 by Jonwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb02 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Because it is was written by an author there, and because it is a very English story. However, the biggest factor is that the play is one of the longest running plays in the West End of London and thus it is a very well known property.

Krissykins Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Is John Carter out here next weekend?! I've not seen one single peice of marketing. Not one TV Spot, billboard, newspaper ad, review. Nothing.Great for TWIB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surprising because many of my friends have seen the West End show and thought the movie would be nothing compared to it, but in actual fact, they thought it was scary as hell.

Heretic Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 The Hunger Games tickets are on sale. Looking pretty good already in some places. The Thursday night previews will boost the opening. What do people think? Over £7m is possible imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 What is WIB's OS total? BOM or BO.com aren't updated. Has to be over $25mil by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 In the UK alone it's near that amount... It must be over $30m at least. Most of Europe is still to open so it should easily top 50m OS for 100m+ WW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only the biggest hit for CBS Films, but just about the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Anyone got predictions of what The Avengers may get on its four day weekend? I'm thinking £7-8m which is in line with Iron Man and Iron Man II, £10m would be nice but I don't expect it. It has the advantage of hardly any May competition until MIB3 so it could dominate.

SchumacherFTW Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 £7/8 seems reasonable. Thor clocked in at around £5m with the three days of previews didn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Thor did well considering the character isn't as well known, Captain America did £2.9m but that was three days.The Hunger Games should do well, think it'll gross £3-4m, I expect the big grosses will come when Catching Fire is released but I happily be proved wrong. Wrath of The Titans should have a big OW and if The Pirates! is as good as I think it will be it, it should do £3-4m five days but have long legs.
