Jonwo Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 £5-6m seems likely, it's not opening during holidays like Thor did so that may lower its opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) I think £6-7m 5 day is doable, which would be over $10m. Edited March 24, 2014 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Fox’s comedy drama climbs to number one in its third weekend of release. With a remarkably small 9% drop, The Grand Budapest Hotel has risen to the top of the UK box office in its third weekend. Fox’s comedy drama checked into top spot with a non-final $2.1m (£1.2m) for $10.4m (£6.3m) to date in the UK. It is the only film in this week’s chart to gross over £1m. Having adding over $3.3m (£2m) over the past seven days, it stands a great chance of becoming director Wes Anderson’s best-ever UK performer, above Fantastic Mr. Fox’s $14.9m (£9.03m) result. Fox also provided the week’s highest new entry in the form of Starred Up. The hard-hitting prison drama posted a non-final UK debut of $813,000 (£492,804) from its 316 sites, including previews, to chart sixth. Mr. Peabody & Sherman has journeyed to $20.8m (£12.6m) after seven weeks in play.EONELast week’s champion Need for Speed fell down to the grid to second with $1.6m (£984,000) through eOne. The video game adaptation has taken $6.1m (£3.69m) in the UK after two weeks in play. Released in 55 sites though eOne, Yves Saint Laurentstarted its UK run with $205,000 (£124,000), including previews. Despite being his third feature, the biopic is the debut UK release for director Jalil Lespert. 12 Years a Slave and Dallas Buyers Club are up to $32.6m (£19.78m) and $8.3m (£5.06m), respectively.WARNER BROSHaving crossed the £30m mark last weekend, The Lego Movie held firm in its sixth weekend of release with $1.34m (£811,000). Warner Bros’ critically acclaimed animation is now up to a terrific $51.3m (£31.1m) in the UK. Also for Warner Bros, 3D sequel 300: Rise of an Empirehacked its way to an additional $1.29m (£783,000) for $11.3m (£6.87m) to date. Multi-Oscar winner Gravity is up to $53.7m (£32.6m).STUDIOCANALRounding off this week’s top five was StudioCanal’s Non-Stop,which added £697,128 after dropping just 23% in its fourth weekend.Jaume Collet-Serra’s high-concept thriller is now up to £8,097,443 and is currently the third biggest grosser for the distributor, behind Tinker Tailor Soldier Spyand Rush. Expanding to 73 sites in its second weekend,Under The Skin enjoyed a minimal drop to take £196,769 for a strong ten-day tally of £596,070 through StudioCanal.LIONSGATENick Hornby adaptation A Long Way Down recorded a UK bow of $597,000 (£361,901) from its 363 sites through Lionsgate to chart seventh. That tops the debut of director Pascal Chaumeil’s only other UK release, the French-language Heartbreaker, which grossed $198,000 (£119,742) albeit from considerably less sites at 59.PARAMOUNTWhile not director Jason Reitman’s lowest-ever UK debut,Labor Day could only manage a somewhat soft non-final $456,000 (£276,831) bow from its 319 sites through Paramount. It’s worth nothing though that both Thank You for Smoking ($311,000/£188,676) and Young Adult($227,000/£137,736) were both released in considerably less sites at 100 and 157, respectively.UNIVERSALRide Along has taken $6.5m (£3.94m) in the UK through Universal, adding $346,000 (£210,000) in its fourth weekend of release.SONYUS Valentine’s Day box office hit About Last Nightrecorded a $284,000 (£172,181) UK debut from its 209 sites through Sony. That’s director Steve Pink’s lowest ever UK opening, behind Accepted’s $576,000 (£349,897) from 249 sites.DISNEYDropping 25% in its sixth weekend, Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy sailed to an extra $236,000 (£143,000) for $9m (£5.46m) so far in the UK through Disney. Also for Disney, Frozen stands at $64.9m (£39.36m) after a $140,000 (£85,000) weekend.ARROW FILMSNow in its third weekend of release, Irish comedy The Stag took a further $130,000 (£78,973) from its 122 sites for $699,000 (£424,078) to date through Arrow Films.DOGWOOFReleased in eight screens through Dogwoof, The Unknown Known posted a UK bow of $19,000 (£11,455). Director Errol Morris’ last UK release, Tabloid, grossed $7,600 (£4,618) from its seven sites on debut.PECCADILLO PICTURESFabio Grassadonia & Antonio Piazza’s feature debut Salvorecorded a UK debut of $8,100 (£4,887) from its six sites through Peccadillo Pictures.UPCOMING RELEASESThis week sees saturation releases for Disney’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier (opens March 26), Lionsgate’s The Legend of Hercules and Disney’sMuppets Most Wanted, following previews over March 22/23. Altitude’s Oscar winner 20 Feet from Stardom receives a wide release, while Artificial Eye’s The Past and Metrodome’s The Borderlands are among the films receiving a limited release. Grand Budapest is doing great, could hit £10m, which is pretty impressive for such a niche film. Edited March 24, 2014 by Heretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) CA is also the first film to have midnight showings in ages. Has 3 at my cinema... None at my local. I doubt we'll be getting any Midnight screenings until Mockingjay probably. Edited March 24, 2014 by Schumacher FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Odd observation, but tonight marks the first time that The Avengers will be shown in IMAX at the BFI IMAX. Good thing they have a digital projector as well as the Grand Theatre one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Seeing as it's Orange Wednesday, CA2 should have a good OD. £1.5m-2m wouldn't surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 My plans tonight have been screwed by annoying scheduling. Surely if you have 2 screens it would be easier to have the screenings at equal intervals instead of one followed by South hour followed by a 2 hour gap.

Films Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I was wondering why my so many films at my cinema were losing times on Saturday from Friday [Grand Budapest hotel loses 75%, Hercules loses 50%] and then I saw Rio 2 previews times. It has nearly the same amount of times as CA2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nearly the same amount of times as CA2 I dunno what Rio is capable of. It did well, but didn't exactly set the world alight back in 2011.

Omario Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Only about 20-25 people in my showing. Pretty decent sized auditorium. About 120 seats. But it was an early afternoon showing. Evening shows will be packed. Good movie. Go watch it asap:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
