Heretic Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hmm..Well it has a very large number of showtimes but the shows themselves haven't been very full so far today. Hard to predict. It seems pre-sales are better for this evening so it should manage maybe £0.75m, and then over £3m for the 5 day. Not amazing, but solid.

CJohn Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I am not sure. But if this flops or disappoints in the UK, it will have the same destiny in America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 How is it compared to other blockbusters this year?There's nothing really to compare, but from cinemas around me it looked like it was doing at least better than Wrath, and that opened over £2m for the 3 day...it'll probably do ok numbers but nothing more.

CJohn Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Meh numbers, but I really should be happy with anything over John Carter or Wrath of the Titans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'd put it on par with France, it's just not many big films have been coming out recently. British films have been doing exceptionally well.There's the potential for huge grosses still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Does anyone know the admissions for last years BO in the UK? All I know is that it had a 20.8% share of the European market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Found it. 171m. Smaller than France, but in general I'd say Hollywood films do better in the UK than anywhere else in Europe. They have loads of local movies that make a killing over there, like for example The Intouchables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 It may just be a case of the movies themselves. Battleship looks like pure bollocks anyway so I'm glad it may 'disappoint'. The good films this year have posted good numbers. There are loads of other reasons though.I mean 2011 did improve and was one of the best attended years of the last decade. Remember, it's also the exchange rate. A few years ago it was £1 to over $2. Now it's like $1.5-1.6. That's makes a HUGE difference. In pounds though, the BO is doing very well. 3rd year in a row over £1bn.France also has FAR more theaters than the UK and hundreds of local films that boost its BO. If you look at the yearly charts its clear the UK is bigger than France when it comes to English-speaking films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
