UK Box Office Thread

$55-60m is where it's heading. Pre-sales for Friday are looking very strong, so I don't think the notion of burning off demand leading to a weaker weekend will be the case for Spectre.

Like Skyfall, Spectre faces absolutely no competition until The Hunger Games, so even with weaker WOM, it should continue do huge business over the next few weeks.

Even Quantum of Solace didn't drop >50% until its 6th weekend, and that films WOM was comparatively much worse.

Is it really that bad??? Reviews here are thru the roof and i know atleast 10 people who went to an early premiere yesterday who all liked it more than Skyfall. More fun and better action was the word

More records!

Quote

Spectre has followed up the biggest Tuesday ever at the UK box office by achieving the biggest Wednesday ever.

Sony’s latest James Bond mission took an estimated $8.8m (£5.7m) on Wednesday to lift its early running tally to an excellent $24.5m (£16m).

It is all the more impressive when you consider thatSpectre only had two full days of screenings, with just evening screenings on Monday [Oct 26].

If the film continues this trajectory through to Sunday,Spectre could well be looking at an opening seven days of more than $60m (£40m), which would top Skyfall’s seven-day result of $57.15m (£37.33m) as the biggest ever.

Record-breaker

Spectre is guaranteed to go down in the records book as the biggest opening ever in the UK.

But whether it can match Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2’s Fri-Sun tally of $36.4m (£23.75m), achieved on its release in July 2011, remains to be seen.

Skyfall’s Fri-Sun total of $30.9m (£20.18m) in October 2012 may be a more achievable target.

The performance over Mon-Weds means Spectre has already surpassed the openings of Casino Royale($20.5m/£13.37m) and Quantum of Solace ($23.5m/£15.38m), although neither film opened as widely as Spectre’s 647 sites.

I think it will make 1B...but calling it a lock after the UK opening makes no sense. It was gonna be HUGE in UK no matter what. After all its the sequel of the biggest fim of all time there...

With current exchange rates, Skyfall would not had done 1 billion today. Unless it explodes in China, and considering that Spectre is not likely to match Skyfall in both UK and US (I think it can lose $50m in each market), I do not see the billion. IMHO, about $900m would be the target.
