Heretic Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Quote WARNER BROS Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them has become the sixth film this year to record a hat-trick at the top of the UK box office. Warner Bros’ Harry Potter spin-off fell a respectable 50% on its way to a $5.64m (£4.44m) third weekend for a resounding $48m (£37.76m) after 17 days in play, making it the biggest hit of 2016 for Warner Bros in the UK ahead of Batman v Superman’s total of $46.5m (£36.6m). Fantastic Beasts now ranks as the fifth-biggest release of 2016 to date and it will shortly overtake Deadpool’s $48.2m (£37.9m). It likely has one more weekend as the UK’s number one before Rogue One: A Star Wars Storyarrives on December 15. FB significantly higher than the £37m quoted yesterday. Another great week for it. At £37.8m, it is keeping pace nicely with the other Potter films. After their 3rd weekends: PS - £38.1m CoS - £37m PoA - £36.4m GoF - £37m OotP - £37.9m (2-extra days) HBP - £40.5m (2- extra days) DH1 - £39.1m DH2 - £55m The first 3 Potters also had previews. DH1 and GoF remain the best indicators as to where FB will end up. Very good news for FB is that its 3rd weekend is higher than DH1's (£3.7m), and just below GoF's £4.8m. DH1 managed another £13.5m after this point, and GoF £12m. GoF faced way more competition with Narnia and King Kong. DH1 literally had nothing, as Narnia 3 and Tron Legacy were both flops. FB faces Rogue One which will obviously be huge, so another £12m or so seems reasonable. £50m is definitely still on the cards, I imagine it'll be a close one.

Heretic Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Quote DISNEY Moana had to settle for second on its UK bow. Disney’s latest animation sailed to $2.8m (£2.2m) from its 553 sites, marking a site average of $5,055 (£3,976), with the majority of its take coming from Saturday and Sunday. It does mark one of the lowest UK debuts for a Walt Disney Animation Studios outing, but Moana will be hoping for minimal drops over the coming weekends and then to prosper once the school holidays start over Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 FB will be around £41.5-42m by Sunday. It should remain number 1 again, however, it wouldn't totally surprise me to see Moana stay flat or increase slightly, so we'll see. It'll probably be much closer for the weekend crown than it should have been this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Sully did very well and I expect it'll have a strong midweek run due to skewing older, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moana isn't going to do well during the week, its main target audience are all in school. Sully on the other hand skews much older and should play strongly during the week. Nothing surprising here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems I am the only person on earth that didn't like it... I never watched it, I'm neither into X-Mas films, the usual horror, romance, slapstic/'overly' comedy, nor animated film (as in not a live-action, however you will call it) The worst being a romantic comedy out of all, I wouldn't watch that if you'd pay me. Me female, and I know I am not the only one who thinks so. There are maybe 20 films considered a comedy or strongly comedic, that I actually like. Nightmare... seems bizarre enough I night even like it, but there are too many 'but its...' in it to even try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
