There's also How to be Single which is a romcom which is released February 19th but has previews on Valentine's Day so even more comedy competition. Dad's Army definitely doesn't feel like it's getting the attention you'd expect from an adaptation of something so beloved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrestrial Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Deadline Hollywood @Deadline ‘Sherlock’ Returns To BBC One With 8.4M Viewers; Most-Watched New Year’s Day Show http://deadline.com/2016/01/sherlock-special-ratings-abominable-bride-bbc-cumberbatch-1201675036/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter … I wouldn't usually post a tweet like this, but as the 'back in time' episode gets a China cinema release.... it's in a (little bit) way UK cinema related, or?

The Dark Alfred Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Fri looking SW £3.1m - cume £90m, Daddy's Home £0.8m/6m, Danish is at £0.46, Joy £0.53, Spectre will hit £94m on Sunday 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Lower than expected for Star Wars, probably will increase today for a £11-12m weekend. Joy had West End previews so it'll be ahead of The Danish Girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Yeah, that is lower than expected. Holidays are coming to an end now, but New Year's Day must not be a popular day for cinemas. Understandable given the events the night before for a lot of people. Probably be around £98m by Sunday. $200m may be in jeapordy now, see how it holds in coming weeks but It'll need a further £35m or so. Whatever happen, it's run has been jaw-dropping.

The exchange rate has also been falling lately. The Pound is only currently worth 1.48 Dollars. A few weeks ago it was 1.52. I've noticed this as the dollar value of Spectre's total gross in the UK has pretty much remained the same, even though the film is still earning £ sterling. When the country goes back to school and work on the 4th Jan, i think things are going to quieten down quite a lot at the Cinema's box office wise!

Jonwo Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I think it's do £6-7m next weekend possibly £8m but if faces The Hateful Eight which I think will be £2.5-3m OW which is on par with Django Unchained. The weekend after is The Revenant and Creed and I think one of them will dethrone Star Wars from the top spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan9 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) I never thought $200m was ever really a thing with the exchange rate situation. Expected number, even as an avid cinema goer I couldn't have imagined myself going to the cinema yesterday. Should do decently today/tomorrow.

From Alfred: Quote Fri looking SW £3.1m - cume £90m, Daddy's Home £0.8m/6m, Danish is at £0.46, Joy £0.53, Spectre will hit £94m on Sunday So it'll probably open around £2m. SLP didn't even make £5m here, so it should beat that. American Hustle made over £13m though, so it has no chance at beating that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect it to do great business through the week with older audiences however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film's been pre-booking for over a month even though the word on it as Oscar bait has been fairly muted.

Still a good drop from the two day weekend and flat if we include Friday. Does mean that Skyfall retains the record for best third weekend.

SchumacherFTW Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 That's pretty poor for both Joy and The Danish Girl. Would be surprised to see both of them sticking around by the 22nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
