DeeCee Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It's stupid the way the UK chart handles previews. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah. But actually, they've started to change it a bit. Only for some films though. For TASM2, BOM only recorded the 3 day weekend, and included the previews on Wednesday and Thursday in the running total, which is how it should be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 TASM2 is performing far better in the UK relative to CA2 then it is in Australia or Domestic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) It's stupid the way the UK chart handles previews.I think the whole business of previews has gotten a bit ridiculous, even Charles Gant and Mark Kermode have noted it, I hope that it'll lead to changes in reporting where only the Friday-Sunday numbers are counted and any previews are included in the running total rather than the opening weekend, Edited May 9, 2014 by Jonwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Godzilla on Thursday, what are people thinking? Godzilla '98 made £16m, so obviously it's pretty popular over here. Today that would adjust to probably £25m, or more. 4 day opening of £7-8m ($12-13.5m) is possible imo.

SchumacherFTW Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 7 or 8 sounds good to me. 3 day will be £6m at least i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 £7-8m is sequel territory, think £5-6m four days, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 £7-8m is sequel territory, think £5-6m four days, ST09 did £5.95m 4 day with only 7 IMAX screens to boost the gross. We now have over 20 IMAX screens and 3D as well, not to mention the hugely increased number of digital screens allowing more screenings on average per cinema now. I definitely see £7m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Godzilla is a well known property, with a lot of buzz and excellent marketing. £5m is way too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 In other news, Bad Neighbours is easily on top. Should have a £3-4m weekend, and will likely be somewhere around £8.5m ($14.3m) already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmpro Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Thats a pretty good drop for TASM2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put PR for preview and include it in that weekend. That's how it's treated here. As an example, Bad Neighbours. http://www.urbancinefile.com.au/home/boxoffice.asp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Ian Sandwell @ian_sandwell 5m The Amazing Spider-Man 2 up to around £22.3m in the UK after four weeks in play. £3.7m left to beat TASM. $37m total now, on par with TASM at the same point, however, the fourth weekend is much bigger than it was for TASM.

JCS Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Good but stupidly inflated OW for Bad Neighbours. Bad Neighbours moves into UK top spot with estimated £8.7m opening, including extensive previews, from 500 sites. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Yeah. Nonetheless, it's making big money! £20m possible ($30m+). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Maybe, it has competition in the next few weeks but the drop was small when you strip out previews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
