keysersoze123 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Its lower than MJ1 but hard to compare as MJ2 did not have previews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Yeah, dropped from MJ1. I think today will have a strong boost though, shows look way busier tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Quote Rentrak UK & Ireland @Rentrak_UK 1h1 hour ago #SPECTRE has now overtaken Titanic in the all-time chart, becoming the 3rd highest grossing film in UK box-office history. So that means Spectre has topped the £80m mark. £90m+ is happening. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like bullshit Yes........of course its incorrect.........i think the headline meant to read film had a opening at No1 position.............and not that it had the highest No1 opening of the year.

Yep...........we will have to wait and see if its possible for SP to catch up and pass Avatar now in the UK. Thing is we may have to wait quite a long time to see if that happens, maybe around Xmas time............as it will now take many days of tiny BO sums to build upto the figure gathered by Avatar, which i believe was £94 mil. Anyway if it doesn't its still looks good to have the last 2 Bond films, occupying the Gold and Bronze medal positions on the UK all-time list (non-adjusted). Mind you, those Star Wars kids could get in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Mockingjay is looking very good tonight, way stronger than yesterday evening. Hopefully gets to £3m Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Fri, HG £2.7, Bond £1m 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 That's an okay number I guess... It'll probably do around £11m 4 day, bit below the last two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So 100M is gone for Bond...... can it still get all-time #2 spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The estimated target was 80M, which has already been achieved. 90M is likely with 90M+ on the table. Spectre won't match Skyfall in the UK, but for all intents and purposes that wasn't the expectation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) It should pass £84m on Sunday, which gives it a full week of £6.5m. Avatar's £94m is definitely still within range. Right now I'd say it ends up somewhere between £93-95m. Pretty damn impressive. No one thought this would get within £10m of Skyfall. The general consensus was £75m or so. To have two films make £90m in a row is unprecedented. Before 2012, it wouldn't have even entered anyone's minds.

I guess to reach Avatar will depend on how much SW7 will affect to its late legs. Anyway, incredible run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 UK pound has not dropped much in last one year. Its almost steady. But SW7 will affect its late legs and I think Spectre had an impact in lower than MJ1 OW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Interesting actually, CF had a £2.9m Friday, so MJ2 didn't fair too badly. That went on to make over £4m on Saturday, which MJ2 can get close to with stronger daytime business today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to need 95M+ to win the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
