Heretic Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 4h The Grand Budapest Hotel adds around £875k in the UK for a terrific £7.9m to date. This has become quite a hit, should pass £10m for sure. Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 6h Muppets Most Wanted bows with £2.4m, including £1.1m in previews, in the UK.

SchumacherFTW Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 That's a hefty preview slant for a family film, which normally do around a third of OW in previews. Can it do £10m? Or even £8m to reach half of the first one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Films Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 IM TEAM DIVERGENT FOR NEXT WEEK. CANT WAIT. ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS OF ALL TIME. There is massive buzz surrounding this at my school. Prediction- $4.8MRio 2 will be by as well (seeing it on Sunday) and Noah will also be big (seeing it in 3 weeks). Next week should be massive also including CA2 (seeing in two weeks)Only other films im interested in seeing this April are khumba: a zebras tale and the other woman and spidey 2 (which im seeing both of on opening days). If I have some time might see the love punch or transcendence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Next weekend could see 3, possibly 4 films over $5m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Films Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Next weekend could see 3, possibly 4 films over $5m.I agree. CA2 is like a guarantee. And I can't see rio 2 missing the mark especially with previews included. And I think NOAH and divergent will also make it. These 4 films will also make a lot of money over the half term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don't see The Raid 2 next month I'll be pissed, and I also hope to see Spidey in D-Box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Disney’s latest superhero outing posts $10.1m (£6.04m) bow, including previews, to lead the way ahead of stablemate Muppets Most Wanted. More figures to come… It’s a Disney one-two at the top of the UK box office this week, with Captain America: The Winter Soldier in charge. The latest Marvel Studios outing and second solo venture for the Cap posted a $10.1m (£6.04m) debut from its 536 sites, including $3.1m (£1.85m) in previews. It’s worth noting that even The Winter Soldier’s $7m (£4.18m) Fri-Sun tally would have seen it chart first. That result is up on Captain America: The First Avenger’s $5m (£3m) UK bow from 470 sites, and The Winter Soldieris likely to top The First Avenger’s $15.8m (£9.5m) result by the end of this coming weekend, if not earlier. In terms of Marvel outings, The Winter Soldier ranks as the fifth best, behind Iron Man 2’s $12.8m (£7.7m) debut, which included $1.5m (£877,000) in previews. Also for Disney, Muppets Most Wanted charted second with a $3.7m (£2.21m) debut from its 515 sites, including $1.7m (£1.03m) in previews. Its Fri-Sun tally of $2m (£1.18m) would have still seen it land second. That’s down on The Muppets’ $4.4m (£2.7m) UK debut from 534 sites, without a preview boost, on its way to an excellent $28m (£16.8m). The sequel will have a tough time challenging that, although should receive a boost with the upcoming Easter school holidays. FOXIt might have dropped from the top spot but The Grand Budapest Hotel fell just 31% in its fourth weekend of wide release with $1.4m (£867,000). Fox’s comedy drama is now up to a terrific $13.3m (£8m) and will surely become director Wes Anderson’s best-ever UK performer, topping Fantastic Mr. Fox’s $15m (£9.03m) result. Also for Fox, Starred Up dropped just over 50% in its second weekend, adding $335,000 (£201,000) for $1.8m (£1.06m) to date. While they won’t be included in this weekend’s official chart, Rio 2 has $1.1m (£683,000) banked for its opening this week after previews on Saturday and Sunday. EONEWith almost a 70% drop in its third weekend, Need for Speed rounded off this week’s top five with $562,000 (£338,000). eOne’s video game adaptation has now taken $7.3m (£4.4m) in the UK. Also for eOne, Yves Saint Laurent has a ten-day tally of $427,000 (£257,000) following an $86,000 (£52,000) second weekend. Oscar winners Dallas Buyers Club and 12 Years a Slavestand at $8.6m (£5.18m) and $33m (£19.86m), respectively. WARNER BROSNow in its seventh week of release, The Lego Movie built up a further $537,000 (£323,000) through Warner Bros for $52.6m (£31.6m) to date. Warner Bros’ 3D sequel 300: Rise of an Empire has sliced its way to $12.4m (£7.4m) following a $394,000 (£237,000) fourth weekend. PARAMOUNTFalling heavily in its second weekend, Paramount’s Labor Day grossed $141,000 (£85,000) for a ten-day tally of $956,000 (£575,000). That is at least ahead of Jason Reitman’s last UK outing, Young Adult, which managed $674,000 (£405,482). ARTIFICIAL EYEWith one site still to report, The Past has recorded a $108,000 (£64,995) UK debut, including previews, from its 31 screens through Artificial Eye. That marks director Asghar Farhadi’s best-ever opening, ahead of A Separation’s $92,000 (£55,511) bow from 23 sites. ALTITUDE FILM DISTRIBUTIONOscar winner 20 Feet from Stardom posted a $102,000 (£62,162) UK debut from its 65 sites, including $12,500 (£7,495) in previews. The release is Altitude Film Distribution’s first in the market, with an upcoming slate including Fruitvale Station and The Nightmare from Room 237 director Rodney Ascher. SONYPlaying in 112 sites on its second weekend, About Last Night added $76,000 (£45,666) for $536,000 (£322,000) to date through Sony. DOGWOOFReleased on one screen through Dogwoof, Dangerous Acts enjoyed a $2,600 (£1,572) UK debut. UPCOMING RELEASESThis week sees saturation releases for Fox’s Rio 2, Paramount’s Noah and eOne’s Divergent. StudioCanal’s The Double, Pinewood Pictures’ Honourand Dogwoof’s A Story of Children and Film are among the films receiving limited releases. Quite the overestimate for Cap. Still, I hope with the Easter holidays coming up it can do $30m. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) As for the upcoming weekend, Noah, will probably take the lead. I expect £4-5m. Divergent can do £3-4m I think, and Cap should also be around. Rio 2 previews were quite weak, but the full opening will probably be a lot stronger, maybe around £3m all added up. So that's a potential £14-17m ($23-28m) from these 4 films alone. Edited March 31, 2014 by Heretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Films Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Wow I think I have heard it all now. I can't buy frozen from my local shop because I am not an adult and I need and adult present despite the fact im 13 and PG I believe doesn't even have an age limit (but is suggested over 8 and I definitely look over 8). I then showed them ID but they still wouldn't let me buy it. I then put my mum on the phone to them at customer services and they told her that they need an adult and they won't accept the ID because they need the actual passport. WHO THE HELL WOULD TAKE A PASSPORT TO SCHOOL (I was also in my school uniform) AND THEN TO A SHOP. Absolutely ridiculous. I am now at home without the DVD (I bought paloma faith's album instead) and going back in an hour to buy it WITH AN ADULTAbsolutely fuming 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
