Heretic Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 10m The Hunger Games: Catching Fire now the fourth biggest hit of 2013 in the UK with around £31.7m. Will be overtaken soon by Smaug though. £1.5m in last week. Another week of holidays should see it top £33m by Sunday, which means it should be able to get to £35m. Also, no report from Screendaily today for UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Frozen is so busy this afternoon, more so than any day this past weekend. Weekdays should be huge, even bigger than last week, especially since cinemas were closed on Christmas day. New years day falling on orange Wednesday will also provide a nice boost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Films Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Seeing Frozen tomorrow instead as something happened in my family today but every showing for it has been sold out today even if I was still going. Might see walter mitty or 47 ronin on the 2nd and seeing mandela on the third Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Excellent. Should do £5m+ Mon-Thu, way up on last week, and £2.5m Fri-Sun, which would put it at around £31-32m ($51-52m) by Sunday!

There's no competition until February so Frozen could get close to £40m if legs hold up.I expect American Hustle to have a strong opening plus the takings from its West End run, I imagine £2.5-3m five days maybe higher, PA I can't see doing great, the last one didn't do that well so can't see this new one doing well with so match competition.

Heretic Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 American Hustle has been doing very well in Vue West End. I expect with it opening on New years day, and orange Wednesday, it can do over £3m for the 5 day. Interested to see what Wolf will do. I'm anticipating that far more. Rated 18, but like Django last year, it could be a big success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Wolf of Wall Street is hard to predict, Django numbers would be good given its likely not to have loads of Showtimes due to its length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Tom Linay @TomLinayDCM November's cinema admissions were 13.7m, which is down 22.5% from 2012. December needs 23m admissions for 2013 to top 2012's 172.5m. Tom Linay @TomLinayDCM Last time we saw 23m admissions in a month was 1969. So obviously 2013 admissions will be down from 2012, but by how much is the question? No Skyfall and not ONE film over £50M may be the problem this year.

Heretic Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I don't think DOS will beat DM2. Tbh, nothing this year was ever looking monstrous anyway, not like Skyfall or TDKR last year, so admissions were always gonna be down. 2014 will likely fall again, before 2015, which could become the biggest of the century if everything goes right. But, in general it's been a pretty good year. Edited December 31, 2013 by Heretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yeah it has still been a great year compared to other declining European markets but 2013 and 2014 will be similar and probably both down on 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Skyfall is thebig ticket wwe're missing this year, but I'm still massively impressed. We're going to have 12 films that have hit the £25m Mark this year! 12! Strength has certainly been present in depth this year, with the wealth spread much more between releases than the last few years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yep. This year has produced a lot of big hits, which kind of makes up for the few huge hits last year. Next year looks very much the same, even more so, imo. If we're to see a £50m film, it'll probably only be Hobbit 3 that can do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The problem had more to do with the summer than the lack of a Skyfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
