Heretic Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Yeah, tonight is looking packed as expected. Wonder what it'll do just from 19:30 onwards. I reckon over £3m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Crawley cineworld is handing over 11 of 15 screens at the moment, with 8 sold out so far. I can see others being in the same boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Anyone else noticed that Dad's Army has randomly started booking today? That's absurdly early for a film that might not make £10m! I'd totally forgotten about that. It's a great cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Fox’s The Martian and Suffragette record slim drops, as Paramount’s Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension is the week’s highest new entry with non-final $2.25m (£1.47m), including previews. Further distributor results to come… SONY As the market prepares for the launch of Spectre tonight [Oct 26], Hotel Transylvania 2 enjoyed a second straight week at the top of the UK box office. Sony’s animated sequel dropped a slim 19% (excluding previews) to add $3.5m (£2.3m) for $14.4m (£9.4m), meaning it has already surpassed its predecessor’s $12.4m (£8.1m) lifetime UK haul. With the school holidays kicking off today, Hotel Transylvania 2 looks set to prosper over the coming week as counter-programming to Spectre. On the subject of Spectre, Sony will release it in 647 sites tonight which marks the widest-ever release in the UK. Skyfall did $57.3m (£37.33m) over its first seven days, although it was released more traditionally on a Friday and played in 587 sites. Also for Sony, The Walk has grossed $2.1m (£1.35m) after three weeks in play. FOX The Martian continued its excellent UK run as it fell just 27% in its fourth weekend and climbed up to second. Fox’s sci-fi adaptation crossed the £20m mark with $2.6m (£1.7m) for $31.3m (£20.4m) to date. It will likely be affected by the arrival of Spectre, but should still soon overtake Hannibal’s $33.1m (£21.6m) as Ridley Scott’s third biggest UK outing. Also for Fox, Suffragette dropped a slim 14% (excluding previews) as it enjoyed a $2.1m (£1.34m) second weekend for $8.9m (£5.8m) to date. The Pathe release effectively repeated its opening seven days of $4.5m (£2.93m), which bodes well for a sustained run. Bollywood rom-com Shaandaar landed with $254,000 (£165,717), including previews, from its 59 sites, whileMaze Runner: The Scorch Trials has now amassed $13.5m (£8.81m) after seven weeks in play. PARAMOUNT The week’s highest new entry came in the form ofParanormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension as it charted third. Paramount’s latest instalment in the found footage series scared up a non-final $2.25m (£1.47m), including $536,000 (£349,000) in previews, from its 405 sites. That marks the lowest ever opening for the franchise, behind spin-off The Marked Ones’ $2.43m (£1.58m) from 335 sites. However, based on Fri-Sun tallies, The Ghost Dimension’s $1.72m (£1.12m) is ahead of The Marked Ones’ $1.55m (£1.01m). EONE Roundinf off this week’s top five on its UK bow was eOne’s The Last Witch Hunter with $1.9m (£1.24m) from its 366 sites, including $410,000 (£267,148) in previews. That debut means it narrowly missed out being director Breck Eisner’s best-ever UK opening, which remainsSahara’s $2.1m (£1.37m) from 399 sites. The Last Witch Hunter has, however, already outgrossed the entire run of Vin Diesel’s last standalone lead outing,Babylon A.D.’s $1.8m (£1.2m). Also for eOne, Mississippi Grind rolled to a $30,000 (£19,314) debut from its 19 sites. WARNER BROS Pan sail to an extra $1.8m (£1.2m) over its second weekend, having set director Joe Wright’s best-ever UK opening. Warner Bros’ fantasy prequel is now up to $7m (£4.6m) as the school holiday kicks off, but is unlikely to match Wright’s best-ever UK performance which currently remains Pride & Prejudice’s $22.3m (£14.57m). Also for Warner Bros, The Intern is up to $4.1m (£2.7m) after four weeks in play. LIONSGATE Falling a respectable 38% in its third weekend, Lionsgate’s Sicario shot to a further $842,000 (£548,742) for a solid $6.7m (£4.4m) to date. Also for Lionsgate, The Little Penguin: Pororo’s Racing Adventure posted a UK bow of $73,000 (£47,439) from 50 sites, while Paper Planes could only manage a $6,700 (£4,381) debut from its 68 sites. UNIVERSAL Crimson Peak fall almost 50% on its way to a $767,000 (£500,091) second weekend for a ten-day tally of $3.1m (£1.99m). Also for Universal, Everest climbed to an extra $186,000 (£121,067) for $16.1m (£10.5m), while The Queen of Ireland grossed $43,000 (£28,348), including previews, from its opening in 23 Republic of Ireland sites. STUDIOCANAL Hitting £18m in its seventh weekend, StudioCanal’sLegend continued its strong run with $437,000 (£284,844) for $27.7m (£18.06m) to date. Also for StudioCanal, Macbeth took a further $177,000 (£115,591) for $3.9m (£2.56m) after four weeks in play, while The Program expectedly suffered following its soft opening as it added $71,000 (£46,167) for $455,000 (£296,649). PICTUREHOUSE ENTERTAINMENT Rising 10% (excluding previews), Picturehouse Entertainment’s The Lobster grabbed a non-final $371,000 (£241,794) from its 82 sites for a decent $999,000 (£651,584) to date. Also for Picturehouse Entertainment, Listen to Me Marlon opened to $14,000 (£9,117) from its nine sites, playing mostly split performances. DOGWOOF Released in 13 sites through Dogwoof, The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution recorded a UK bow of $29,000 (£19,085), including $15,000 (£9,561) in previews. UPCOMING RELEASES Sony’s Spectre lands in cinemas tonight [Oct 26] as, unsurprisingly, most other films avoid opening this week. Dogwoof’s Fresh Dressed, Vertigo Releasing’s Black Souls and Metrodome’s Under Milk Wood are among the films receiving a limited release. HT2 will probably reach £20m with half term now.

Heretic Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Odeon Leicester Square has almost sold out 11:30pm show tonight, and 8pm is all gone. Sell outs are CRAZY tonight. You'll be lucky to find any shows nationwide that aren't sold out before 10pm. Haven't seen anything like it since DH2.
