Blackout Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) UKThe UK was relatively wide open this weekend with 22 Jump Street the only major studio entry. It opened to a collegial $8.1M to score the No. 1 slot and outperform the debut of recent comedy hit Neighbors. Jump Street got a jump on the impending World Cup meaning it could be one of the comedies that shows legs during the period when most of England’s eyes will be turned towards the pitches of Brazil (and pundits, broadcasters and broadsheets will spend countless hours attempting, however fruitlessly, to relive 1966 — but, I digress). The film’s strong UK numbers this weekend may be helpful towards blunting any of the potential damage this movie might face domestically following star Jonah Hill’s paparazzo-directed anti-gay slur last weekend. The star got out in front and delivered an apology on The Tonight Show, and then Entertainment Tonight and it’s possible this was a bigger deal in the States. The UK bow says the film found an audience, regardless. Also in the UK, Edge Of Tomorrow was in its 2nd frame and held nicely from Friday to Saturday after increasing last weekend over the same 24-hour span. The movie took $2.2M from 559 screens for a drop of 31% and a cume of $7.3M. Maleficent, which was shot at Pinewood Studios, has a cume of $18.8M after this frame making it the film’s 3rd best ex-U.S. market. X-Men: Days Of Future Past had a $3.2M weekend and was No. 3 in its 3rd frame for a cume of $38.9M, beating all previous titles in the franchise. Universal’sA Million Ways To Die In The West placed No. 5 in the UK and Ireland this weekend with $900K at 459 dates and a 10-day cume of $4.4M.

Heretic Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Sony’s sequel posts strong $8.1m (£4.85m) bow to dethrone Maleficent; Warner Bros’ Grace of Monaco lands with $400,000 (£238,000). Stealing a march on the World Cup, 22 Jump Street has moved into top spot at the UK box office. Sony’s sequel posted a strong $8.1m (£4.85m) debut from its 456 sites, an opening three times that of its predecessor. 21 Jump Street started its UK run with $2.6m (£1.6m) from 389 sites on its way to $17m (£10.1m). This year’s The Lego Movie remains co-directors Phil Lord & Christopher Miller’s best-ever UK bow at $13.5m (£8.1m) from 547 sites, including $3.7m (£2.2m) in previews, but that should come as little surprise given that film’s family-friendly certificate. However, with little competition opening over the coming weeks as a result of the World Cup and with strong word of mouth, 22 Jump Street should be set for a long run at the UK box office. Also for Sony, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has swung to $40.4m (£24.03m) to date. DISNEYIt might have dropped from the top spot, but Maleficentenjoyed a superb second weekend in the UK. Excluding previews, Disney’s reimagining of Sleeping Beauty fell just 32% (and just 1% on Saturday) as it conjured up $4.4m (£2.6m) for $18.6m (£11.05m). It will likely overtake Oz the Great and Powerful’s $25.9m (£15.4m) in the coming weeks. Maleficent’s strong performance in a busy market bodes well for Disney’s next ventures into fairy tales, Into the Woods (out Jan 9, 2015) and Cinderella (out March 27, 2015). FOXAs expected, Fox’s X-Men: Days of Future Past is now the highest grossing outing of the franchise in the UK at $38.8m (£23.1m), surpassing X2’s $34.8m (£20.7m). It dropped 48% in its third weekend to take $3m (£1.8m) as it fell one place to third. Also for Fox, Rio 2 has flown to $25.2m (£15m) following a $193,000 (£114,810) tenth weekend. WARNER BROSProducing a sturdy hold in its second weekend was Warner Bros’ Edge of Tomorrow with $2.1m (£1.23m). Doug Liman’s action sci-fi is now up to $7.2m (£4.3m) and could also benefit from the lack of major openers during the World Cup. Also for Warner Bros, Godzilla grossed an additional $798,000 (£475,000) and has now roared its way to $27.6m (£16.4m). Cannes opener Grace of Monaco landed with an uninspiring, if not unexpected, $400,000 (£238,000) from its 338 sites. While that does mark director Olivier Dahan’s best-ever UK bow ahead of La Vie en Rose’s $345,000 (£205,659) from just 58 sites, it may struggle to match that film’s $2.9m (£1.7m) result. Comparisons could be made to the similarly critically derided Diana which recorded a $1m (£622,915) debut from its 523 sites last year. UNIVERSALFalling 61% in its second weekend, Universal’s A Million Ways to Die in the West added $804,000 (£479,000) for $4.4m (£2.6m) after ten days in play. Also for Universal, Bad Neighbours has amassed an excellent $26.4m (£15.73m) following a $297,000 (£177,000) fifth weekend. LIONSGATENow in its third week of release, Lionsgate’s Postman Pat: The Movie delivered $416,000 (£247,344) for a solid $4.7m (£2.8m) to date. EONEKen Loach’s latest directorial outing Jimmy’s Hall grossed $132,000 (£78,759) for $558,000 (£331,969) after ten days in play through eOne. STUDIOCANALCurrently playing in 88 sites, The Two Faces of Januaryearned an extra $96,000 (£57,140) for a UK tally to date of $2.4m (£1.4m). CURZON FILM WORLDIn its second weekend of release through Curzon Film World, Venus in Fur added a further $12,000 (£7,034) for $50,000 (£29,934). KOCH MEDIAReceiving late night shows at 11 sites as a result of its day-and-date VoD release, Cheap Thrills grossed $1,200 (£738) through Koch Media. UPCOMING RELEASESThis week sees saturation releases for Fox’s Belle and Warner Bros’ Oculus, while eOne’s T.S. Spivet and Entertainment’s Devil’s Knot both receive wide releases. Kaleidoscope’s Road (opens June 11), Dogwoof’s 112 Weddings and Icon’s A Perfect Plan are among the films receiving a limited release. Excellent opening for 22JS. Great drop for Maleficent too. X-Men should do close to $50m in the end. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
