Top 7 (as of Monday 9th January 2017)

 

1. Assassin's Creed £5.29 million. This is probably going to drop hard next week, but unfortunately not hard enough. I expect £1.2-1.4 million next weekend thanks to the Fri-Sun haul of £1.91 million. NEW ENTRY.

 

2. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story £3.26 million/£59.7 million. Damn, probably going to finish closer to £70 million than £60 million, likely finish around £68-71 million. Very good performance.

 

3. A Monster Calls £1.92 million. Solid performance for my favorite film out right now. NEW ENTRY.

 

4. Silence £1.6 million. Not the greatest Scorsese performer, but at least the film is good. NEW ENTRY.

 

5. Passengers £1.4 million/£10.5 million. I guess this is doing OK?

 

6. Moana £1.18 million/£16.37 million. Great multiplier of 6-7x

 

7. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them £997,000/£53.12 million. Wow! This film just won't go away.

 

Next Weekend 5 New Wide Releases Hit Cinemas

 

Saturation: La La Land (4-day Opening Thur-Sun), Live By Night and The Bye Bye Man

 

Wide: Underworld: Blood Wars and Manchester By The Sea

 

What does everyone expect to be number 1?

Has Fb any chance of beating Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets(£54.8M)?

It seems within reach!

Yes, it'll likely beat it, should hit £55m.

 

Honestly, it's had an incredible run, still making almost a £1m on its 8th weekend.

I think it'll hit £55m although it's going to lose cinemas just because it's out a while and there's a ton of new release so cinemas usually drop the older titles to make way.

Why does the Assassins Creed opening week seem to count as the opening weekend on most charts I see?

 

Its a UK thing, previews are combined with the opening weekend total rather than counted separate which is stupid IMO as a film can claim it's number 1 with a weeks worth of takings. Spectre has the highest opening in the UK for example but that include 3 and a half days of takings whereas solely based on Friday to Sundays it's Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

That's always the case for UK box office. All the weekdays and previews (even previews from weeks ago) get bundled into the opening weekend number. That can be seen with Monster Trucks last weekend, which experienced a huge drop of 73% this weekend due to the inflated OW number.

What are people thinking for La La Land? In light of its domination at the Golden Globes, along with 11 Bafta nominations I sense a breakout hit. Brits definitely love a good musical. It should be able to dethrone Rogue One this weekend with its 4-day opening, pre-sales actually look quite strong, and it's being marketed everywhere. The 8:10 showing on Friday night at Vue Westfield is almost sold out, for example. Very impressive for an original film. With stellar WOM and awards success, it could have a very long run and end up over £20m. Maybe much more than that. Will be an interesting one.

Don't forget it had an early West End release so I think £5m is doable.

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

 

Vue Westfield has only 2 shows that aren't sold out for the rest of the day.

 

This is gonna be a bit hit.
