Heretic Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hobbit tickets went on sale today. Also, looking at Gravity, it's virtually sold out the whole weekend already at the BFI IMAX. I expect pretty big numbers next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hobbit tickets went on sale today. Also, looking at Gravity, it's virtually sold out the whole weekend already at the BFI IMAX. I expect pretty big numbers next weekend. What's more impressive with Gravity is that there are NO good seats at ANY evening shows BAR NONE. It's going to sell out all shows in its 2 week run at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackzack Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Gravity should open to about £5M and close with £30M+ by February. With HOBBIT, WALTER MITTY, ANCHORMAN, WALKING WITH DINOS - all vying for box office dominance? GRAVITY has its hands full. But why Warner didn't release this early October in UK..???

Caladbolg Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) No significant increase over THOR1. May fall hard next weekend, as folks turn to Katniss & Dr Stone in Space Next weekend? CF doesn't open till the 11th in the UK, which is a Monday. Thor 2 should be fine next weekend. Edited November 2, 2013 by Caladbolg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackzack Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 What do you mean no significant increase? That's 70% on Friday! Yea, but THOR 1 has burnt a lot of the excitement over longer period before 1st Friday. THOR 1 opened on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Yea, but THOR 1 has burnt a lot of the excitement over longerperiod before 1st Friday. THOR 1 opened on Monday. It was an extra day, on easter Monday. All things considered, it's going to have a 5 day weekend around 50 to 60 % higher than Thor's opening 6 day. That is a LONG way from being a disappointment.

Heretic Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Next weekend? CF doesn't open till the 11th in the UK, which is a Monday. Thor 2 should be fine next weekend. Next weekend, Gravity opens. CF doesn't open until the 21st, which is a Thursday. Nonetheless, Thor will fall hard because it's going from a 5 day opening to a 3 day weekend, and it'll lose some IMAX shows to Gravity.

Third weekend it will probably lose all IMAX screens to Gravity in a similar vein in which Men in Black 3 lost them all to Prometheus in its 3rd weekend after sharing on the second last summer.
