Rogue One is heading for £70m. The holidays have it a HUGE boost. 

 

And massive recovery for Moana. It's over double what it was 2 weeks ago.It could leg its way to £20m, which would be an incredible multiplier from its opening, nearly 10x.

 

Decent for Passengers, might get to £15m.

 

Another amazing couple of weeks for FB. Its legs have been astounding, and it seems headed for mid 50s or thereabouts. One of the most impressive runs of 2016. 

 

All in all, a very strong Christmas period, 

 

None of the Boxing Day openers did much during the holidays, it'll be interesting how the NYD openers fare.

Moana has held extraordinarily well.    Yes, this is an inflated holiday w/e but in it's 5th w/e it's down less than 15% from it's 2nd w/e (£1.9m) when it trailed Beasts by 33%

 

Moana's competition was Ballerina and Monster Trucks, none of which made much of an impact. It still has two full weekends until Sing previews where it can still make some decent money.

The Secret Life of Pets was the ONLY original offering in the top ten films of 2016 at the UK box office

Congratulations to who recorded the biggest-ever year for any distributor in the UK with £300.7m -

UK box office hit a record high of £1.329bn in 2016, propelled by 12 films grossing over £30m in the year -

I'm surprised Fox was second for 2016 considering WB had Fantastic Beasts, BvS and Suicide Squad. The difference is around £12m so I'm guessing Ab Fab's successful run elevate them over WB. Captain America barely beat BvS, only £300,000 between them despite Civil War having a bigger four day opening.

Moana must be at around £17m now then, another strong week for it. All schools are back in now so it'll start dropping off considerably during the week but weekends should still be decent until Sing arrives, which may mean it could just scrape past £20m. Amazing total given its terrible opening.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is currently the 13th biggest film of all time at the UK box office with £59.7m

Assassin's Creed leads UK box office with eight-day £5.29m debut, but Rogue One leads Fri-Su

.

Quote

FOX

...Assassin’s Creed .. a non-final $6.42m (£5.29m) from its 527 sites, including $4.1m (£3.37m) from January 1-5. The film’s Fri-Sun tally of $2.32m (£1.91m) would have seen it chart second.

Trolls and A United Kingdom stand at $28.6m (£23.55m) and $2.72m (£2.24m), respectively.

...Moana fell only 28% with a $1.43m (£1.18m) sixth weekend for $19.9m (£16.37m) so far. If it continues to hold well, £20m isn’t yet out of the picture.

SONY

Passengers fell a slim 28% on its way to a $1.7m (£1.4m) third weekend.

... boosted 20% on Saturday (January 7) and has now crossed the £10m mark to stand at a decent $12.8m (£10.5m). ...

A Monster Calls landed third on its UK bow thanks to its New Year’s Day opening.

eOne’s adaptation took $2.33m (£1.92m) from its 505 sites, including $1.34m (£1.1m) in previews. Its Fri-Sun tally of $995,000 (£818,893) would have seen it chart sixth behind Fantastic Beasts.

The debut is some way short of director J.A. Bayona’s best-ever UK bow which remains The Impossible’s $4.9m (£4.03m) from 372 sites, including $1.9m (£1.56m) in previews

UK top 5: Assassin's Creed (£5.3m); Rogue One (£3.3m); Monster Calls (£1.9m); Silence (£1.5m); Passengers (£1.4m) -
