Heretic Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Vue Westfield virtually sold out all day until late night for La La Land. This is incredible, it's acting like a massive event film here. It seems to be performing exceptionally well in the London area, even my two local Odeons are looking crazy busy. Doesn't look quite as busy in other parts of the country from what I've seen, but still performing very well. It'll probably catch on though. I'm fully expecting over £5m 4-day, and I'm going out on a limb and saying £30m+ will happen. It has literally everything going for it.

SchumacherFTW Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 We definitely seem like a country that goes nuts for a musical at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Definitely. We could see a repeat of Les Mis here, which had the same release date in 2013, especially since this is going to, and already has done way better than that film awards wise. WOM will be very strong. It wont open as strong (I think), but it should have a great multiplier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrestrial Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Quote Overseas, La La Land is singing loudly. Lionsgate insiders expect the movie to open to a stellar $6 million in the U.K. this weekend as it dances past the $50 million mark internationally. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-hidden-figures-eyes-24m-mlk-victory-silence-live-by-night-doa-964232?utm_source=twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Reckon it'll do closer to $7m. Maybe even higher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm curious to see if the other new releases like Manchester by the Sea get decent numbers, I think Manchester is in limited release so I'm not expecting huge numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandeak2000 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I hope Manchester By The Sea has a good weekend it is an excellent film. Second film that made me cry this year. Hoping for a good PTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what I needed last night, Huntingdon fit the bill. I usually do Stevenage though as the number of screens makes it easier, if it's after work I'll go in Huntingdon as I work there. I only use Haverhill for unlimited screenings, it's so tiny I can't get a good run going there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Wow, huge opening! Will have a very long and prosperous run. Can definitely see £30m as a distinct possibility, with the potential for more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildphantom Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Fantastic that La La Land has broken out. Amazing movie. Equally great is Manchester by the Sea, which I gather has opened with around $900k? It'll be a slow burner that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
