SchumacherFTW Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I saw it in IMAX yesterday and there were about 80 people there. Fairly decent audience considering it was 13:20 and the IMAX has only been open 2 weeks. As I was leaving that screening, felt barriers were being put up all over the place. Presumably to stop people sneaking in to IMAX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hmm I definitely think this weather is going to impact the BO a bit... I've never seen such a warm day in March. Everyone's out. 21 degrees today here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 According to Deadline, THG did $7.5m which works out as £4.7m which is very good but pales in comparison to its US and Aus debut but it could get to £5m. I think it should have good legs, I expect Catching Fire will be huge when it released.Should be a busy weekend next week with The Pirates!, Wrath of the Titans and second week of The Hunger Games.

The Dark Alfred Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I predicted £4.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Not bad.Hopefully Catching Fire will explode OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Not bad.Hopefully Catching Fire will explode OS.I think it'll increase, it's got over a year for the fanbase to build up in the UK. Twilight did £2.2m while New Moon did £11.6m so it's possible Catching Fire will do over £10m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 One year and a half is so much time... I can't wait that long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 For a franchise opener, it's pretty good. With a 2 week Easter break coming next week, It should have some very good holds. Hopefully that means £20m+ ($32m).As for Catching Fire in a year and a half, £12m+ should easily be on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theultimatebiu Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 £4.7M is double what Twilight made OW.It's a good start. Catching Fire will explode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 THG should have good holds over Easter although it may be dented slightly by WooT and Battleship, I agree Catching Fire should be big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 21 Jump Street seems to be doing kind of badly. Hey British people, go see 21 Jump Street! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Nice increase for The Hunger Games. That's around $7.8m.Good drop for 21 Jump Street, and Marigold Hotel passing £15m is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 21 Jump Street had a good drop, The Devil Inside unsurprisenly dropped like a rock. TBEMH will end its run at £17-18m at this point and I'm guessing it's now made its money back from just the UK release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
