It's doing well, I've seen some sellouts for it, but there aren't many shows so it's numbers will be limited. Talking about sellouts, every film had them this weekend Trainspotting, Sing, La La Land, Split, Lion. I've seen a sellout for Jackie too. Could be be one of the biggest January weekends ever.

wildphantom Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Just got back from Trainspotting. Man it was great. Going to have legs for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 La La Land has passed £20m. It's heading for £30m+, and will get another boost when it almost certainly wins best picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I think Sing will benefit next week if Lego Batman has sellouts and vice versa. Lego Batman is in IMAX, 4DX and PLFs which is rare for an animated film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildphantom Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 According to Ian Sandwell.... Split - £2.1 million down 16% £6 million in 10 days Sing - £10.3 million including last weekend's previews T2 Trainspotting - £5 million. 3rd biggest 18 rated opening ever. La La Land down 30% and now over £20 million. What a weekend. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Very impressive for Sing. Wonder why it's become so huge in the UK compared to other countries. Amazing for T2 too, and Split. UK BO really is on fire at the moment. Edited January 29, 2017 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 It's an embarrassment of riches in our cinemas at the moment. Can't freaking wait for Lego Batman next weekend. And Yu-Gi-Oh because I'm cool AF like that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Interesting that Trainspotting was only £1.1m behind Sing if you exclude previews, I guess it probably beat Sing on Friday but Sing won Saturday and Sunday I imagine even with Lego Batman previews, Sing will have a good drop simply because weekdays will be lower because kids are in schools.

Sing opened in December in most places and faced Rogue One and Moana so it did well but not huge numbers, the fact there hasn't been any kids films since Christmas is a major factor too plus it was marketed really well.

Avatree Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 £5M for T2 is incredible! So glad a British film is actually successful this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 UK box office: 'Sing' scores show-stopping $13m debut 30 JANUARY, 2017 | BY IAN SANDWELL Sony’s T2 Trainspotting records third biggest opening for an 18-rated film with non-final $6.4m (£5.1m) debut. Further distributor results to come… UK TOP FIVE Ranking Film/Distributor Weekend gross Running total 1 Sing (Universal) $13m (£10.42m) $13m (£10.42m) 2 T2 Trainspotting(Sony) $6.4m (£5.1m) $6.4m (£5.1m) 3 La La Land(Lionsgate) $3.87m (£3.09m) $26.2m (£20.94m) 4 Split (Universal) $2.47m (£1.97m) $7.5m (£6m) 5 Hacksaw Ridge(Lionsgate) $1.85m (£1.48m) $1.85m (£1.48m) (Note - Dollar conversions are based on today’s rates) UNIVERSAL Following its record-breaking previews, Sing has made its official bow at the top of the UK box office. Universal’s latest Illumination Entertainment hit enjoyed a show-stopping non-final $13m (£10.42m), including $5.26m (£4.2m) from two days of previews last weekend, from its 556 sites. It is worth noting that its Fri-Sun tally of $7.78m (£6.22m) would have also seen it chart top. That marks Illumination’s third-best UK opening and their best-ever bow for an original offering, ahead of The Secret Life Of Pets’ $12m (£9.58m), including $4.54m (£3.63m) in previews, from 592 sites. Pets went on to take a bumper $45.5m (£36.4m) in the UK and with February half-term coming up, Sing could enjoy a similar run despite the competition from The Lego Batman Movie, previewing this coming weekend and opening February 10. Also for Universal, Split fell a slim 23% with a $2.47m (£1.97m) second weekend as it dropped to fourth. M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller is now up to a promising $7.5m (£6m) in the UK and will soon become the director’s fifth best result, ahead of After Earth’s $8m (£6.4m). It will need another good hold to challenge The Village’s $12.9m (£10.31m). SONY T2 Trainspotting arrived in style at the UK box office as it charted second. Sony’s long-awaited sequel journeyed to a strong non-final $6.4m (£5.1m) debut from its 589 sites, marking a terrific site average of $10.835 (£8,659). That marks director Danny Boyle’s best-ever UK debut by some distance, ahead of The Beach’s $3.03m (£2.42m) from 311 sites. It’s also the third biggest opening of all time for an 18-rated film, behind only Fifty Shades Of Grey’s $17m (£13.55m) from 586 sites and Hannibal’s $8m (£6.4m) from 421 sites. Unsurprisingly T2 Trainspotting went down a storm in Scotland, with only two non-Scottish cinemas in the top 20 sites for the film this weekend. Also for Sony, Passengers has now amassed $15.9m (£12.7m) after six weeks in play. LIONSGATE La La Land may have been dethroned as the UK’s number one, but it can celebrate crossing £20m this weekend. Lionsgate’s awards contender fell a respectable 30% as it danced to a $3.87m (£3.09m) third weekend for an excellent $26.2m (£20.94m) to date. With its PGA winpointing to Oscar success, it should run until the end of February at least. Also for Lionsgate, Hacksaw Ridge rounded off this week’s top five with a $1.85m (£1.48m) debut, including $274,000 (£219,072) in previews, from its 432 sites. That’s ahead of Apocalypto’s $1.7m (£1.36m) debut, but behind The Passion Of The Christ’s $2.13m (£1.7m) haul from its first weekend of nationwide release. In a crowded market, it could struggle to sustain. PARAMOUNT Falling 54% (excluding previews), xXx: The Return of Xander Cage shot to a non-final $810,000 (£647,000) second weekend. Paramount’s action threequel is now up to $3.58m (£2.86m) and has at least overtaken sequel xXx: The Next Level’s final UK result, but won’t come close to xXx’s $14.4m (£11.51m) haul. EONE Jackie expanded to 275 sites and posted a 17% drop (excluding previews) with a $696,000 (£555,624) second weekend. eOne’s biopic is up to a decent $2.22m (£1.77m) and will hope that last week’s Oscar nominations will boost its midweek audience. Also for eOne, Denial recorded a $295,000 (£235,292) UK debut, including $40,000 (£32,090) in previews, from its 79 sites following its timely release on International Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27). DISNEY Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is now the tenth highest-grossing film of all time at the UK box office. Disney’s spin-off fell 44% with a $617,000 (£493,000) seventh weekend for a stellar $81.6m (£65.2m) to date, overtaking Jurassic World’s $80.7m (£64.5m) result. It could still surpass Philosopher’s Stone’s $82.7m (£66.1m) tally. Also for Disney, Moana sailed to a $409,000 (£327,000) ninth weekend, a drop of 34%, for $23.3m (£18.6m) to date. FOX In its 15th weekend of release, Fox’s Trolls took a non-final $220,000 (£175,753) for $30m (£23.99m) to date. Also for Fox, Assassin’s Creed has now hunted down $9.9m (£7.92m) after four weeks in play. CURZON ARTIFICIAL EYE From its six sites through Curzon Artificial Eye, Christineposted a UK debut of $15,000 (£11,904), including $6,100 (£4,855) in previews. UPCOMING RELEASES This week sees saturation releases for Paramount’s Rings and Studiocanal’s Gold. Sony’s Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, Universal’s Loving and Soda Pictures’ Toni Erdmann all receive wide releases, while Picturehouse Docs’ Tower receives a limited release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Absolutely massive weekend. Everything is doing so well right now. Even Hacksaw Ridge had a pretty good opening. No word on Lion yet, but it should have also had a very soft drop. We'll know within the next few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENTERTAINMENT Lion fell only 14% as it travelled to a $1.38m (£1.1m) second weekend as it dropped two places to sixth. Entertainment’s Best Picture nominee is up to $4.15m (£3.31m) after adding almost $1.25m (£1m) across its first Monday-Thursday period, and is making an impact with its older-skewing audience despite the crowded market.
