Heretic Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 It would be crazy to have two £90m films. But it's SW. Pre-sales like this have never been seen before. So why not. It could be another perfect storm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepal1 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 'Dark Alfred'.................hi....................when you next post the daily BO figure for SPECTRE in the UK, please could you give us the current total for the film in that market as well. There are a lot of people wanting to know how SPECTRE is performing at the UK boxoffice. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Sat HG £3.9m, decent increase, will be over £10m for the 4-day. Bond £1.7 tally close to £83m 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Nice for MJ. £11m should happen, only 10% down from CF. Great for Bond too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Less than 10% drop from CF actually. Compared to most markets, it did well in the UK. Could still end up around the same mark as MJ1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efialtes76 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 As expected, first big drop for Spectre with estimated £3.9m fourth weekend for £85.9m to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Don't know why they keep over estimating Spectre. It's likely around £84m, not £86m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Lady in the Van did £1.6m which is a pretty good drop. Hopefully will hit £10m total. Next week is The Good Dinosaur, Bridge of Spies, Black Mass and Carol. I reckon TGD will be number 1 but who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Mass isn't released yet, my guess is that WB didn't want to compete with Legend back in September so moved it to November, it might do okay but i think Bridge of Spies will do better Edited November 22, 2015 by Jonwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 MJ2 and The Good Dinosaur will be close next weekend, around the £5-5.5m mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes......that does seem to be a recurring theme..........that the initial estimates are nearly always optimistic. Based on what our member 'Dark Alfred' has told us, and also based on pure logical maths sense.............i agree that the actual total for Spectre as of end of this Sunday evening will be more likely around the £84-84.5 mil mark, or approx $128 mil. Anyway, despite what some are saying, and considering the competition, the film is still playing very well in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Decent Sunday holds overall. Don't know why they are reporting £86m for Spectre, it's at £84.5m. Lady in the Van is locked for £10m, probably will come to close to £15m. Inside Out passed £39m. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally had no idea it was coming out on Friday until last week, buzz definitely isn't close Inside Out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Yeah, that would be a good opening. Paddington opened to £5m at the same time last year, look how much that made. Frozen opened to £4.7m. Original animations are more about legs than openings. There hasn't been an animated film for a while, so TGD should do well through December.

Heretic Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Quote Sony’s Spectre falls to second with $5.8m (£3.85m) for $128.3m (£84.6m) and has overtaken Avatar as the highest grossing IMAX release in the UK. LIONSGATE The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 might not be going out on a series high, but still posted the year’s seventh opening over £10m. Lionsgate’s climactic chapter in the young adult franchise scored a confirmed $17.07m (£11.26m) from its 576 sites, including $3m (£2m) from Thursday [Nov 19]. That marks the seventh biggest opening of 2015, both in terms of overall debuts and Fri-Sun tallies. In terms of the Hunger Games series, Mockingjay - Part 2has debuted behind the overall debuts of Mockingjay - Part 1 ($19.22m/£12.65m from 565 sites) and Catching Fire ($18.52m/£12.19m from 554 sites). It’s exactly the same story in terms of opening Fri-Sun tallies, with Mockingjay - Part 2’s $14.03m (£9.26m) behind Part 1’s $15.68m (£10.32m) and Catching Fire’s $15.37m (£10.12m). Mockingjay - Part 1 ($47.2m/£31.1m) failed to surpassCatching Fire’s $52m (£34.2m) as the series’ highest grossing outing to date. The slightly softer opening suggests that Part 2 will also likely struggle to match that benchmark as well. Also for Lionsgate, Brooklyn fell 48% on its way to a $620,000 (£409,100) third weekend for $5.7m (£3.78m) to date. SONY As expected with the arrival of Mockingjay, Sony’sSpectre suffered its first big drop of 50% on its way to a $5.8m (£3.85m) fourth weekend. The latest mission for James Bond is now up to a stellar $128.3m (£84.6m) after 28 days in play, and Spectre is also now the highest grossing IMAX release in the UK with $10.09m (£6.66m), surpassing Avatar’s $9.92m (£6.55m). Spectre is now tracking behind Skyfall, which stood at $130.4m (£85.81m) at the same stage. As with Spectre,Skyfall faced young adult competition in its fourth weekend in the form of the climactic Twilight outing, posting a 47% drop with $8.47m (£5.57m). Also for Sony, The Lady in the Van held extremely well as it dropped just 28% with a $2.5m (£1.62m) second weekend for a ten-day tally of $9.8m (£6.45m). Before the weekend, it had already become director Nicholas Hytner’s best-ever UK performer thanks to a terrific Mon-Thurs haul of over $3.8m (£2.5m). Expect this film to stick around for a few weeks yet. Hotel Transylvania 2 added a further $818,000 (£540,000) for $29.2m (£19.25m) after six weeks in play, while The Perfect Guy recorded a UK bow of $152,000 (£100,000) from its 100 sites. UNIVERSAL Falling over 50% in its second weekend, Universal’sSteve Jobs grossed $612,000 (£404,026) for a ten-day tally of $2.7m (£1.78m). It has at least avoided becoming Danny Boyle’s lowest UK outing, Millions’ $2.3m (£1.5m), but will end up as one of the director’s weakest performances. ENTERTAINMENT Charting seventh on its UK bow, Entertainment’s The Dressmaker took $357,000 (£235,668) from its 200 sites and will hope to improve over mid-week given its older-skewing audience. Also for Entertainment, Burnt has amassed $1.6m (£1.06m) after three weeks in play. WARNER BROS After six weeks in play, Warner Bros’ Pan has now sailed to $13.2m (£8.69m) following a $349,000 (£230,000) weekend. FOX After its strong opening last weekend, Fox’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo fell 68% (excluding previews) with a non-final $330,000 (£217,514) for $2.1m (£1.4m) to date. Also for Fox, The Martian and Suffragette have amassed $35.3m (£23.32m) and $14.5m (£9.56m), respectively, while The Crow’s Egg posted a UK debut of $3,800 (£2,481) from its six sites. CURZON ARTIFICIAL EYE Thanks for the hefty chunk of previews, Curzon Artificial Eye’s Love recorded a $66,000 (£43,321) opening from its 13 sites, with $18,000 (£12,148) taken over Fri-Sun. That does mark Gaspar Noé’s best UK debut ahead ofIrreversible’s $55,000 (£36,165) from 16 sites, and Love’s challenge will be that film’s $266,000 (£175,437) tally as Noé’s highest grossing outing. EONE For eOne, The Last Witch Hunter and The Hallow have taken $4.2m (£2.76m) and $137,000 (£90,258), respectively, while Mr. Calzaghe grossed $1,100 (£731) from its three sites on its UK bow. UPCOMING RELEASES This week sees saturation releases for Warner Bros’Black Mass (opens Nov 25), Fox’s Bridge of Spies(opens Nov 26) and Disney’s The Good Dinosaur. StudioCanal’s Carol receives a wide release, while Dogwoof’s Unbranded, Picturehouse Entertainment’sRadiator and the BFI’s re-release of Doctor Zhivago are among the films receiving a limited release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Good result for MJ compared to the US and other markets. It should be right around the £20m ($30m) mark by Sunday, with a second weekend around £5m. That's a 56% fall from the 4 day, which is reasonable. MJ1 fell 61% and was at £21.3m, and CF fell 54% for £21.6m at the same point. Nice for Bond, will hit £88m by Sunday and pass £90m the week after. It's going to end extremely close to Avatar, whether it's above or below it. The Good Dinosaur I think will open between £4.5-5m, in line with recent animated films that have opened at the end of November. It'll be close for the number one spot, but I reckon MJ2 may edge it slightly. Lady in the Van is also having a great run, will pass £10m with ease.
