Jonwo Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Apes should have a strong opening. I think it might have a total similar to Dawn maybe slightly lower due to competition from Dunkirk. Transformers is doing awful business, it's going to miss or barely crack £10m, Pirates seemed to somewhat recover from its weak opening but will just miss £20m. Wonder Woman considering it had to battle with the hot weather for the first few weeks managed to do quite well cracking £20m and likely finish with around £22m. Who'd thought last year, Wonder Woman would end up beating both Pirates and Transformers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Interesting that Spider-Man beat Apes on Wednesday. I guess maybe because it only has 3D shows until Friday so most people are waiting until the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 That's pathetic showing for Spidey, not gaining on TASM 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Cars 3 didn't do great either, I suspect it'll have a decent if unspectacular run during the summer holidays but it does face Captain Underpants and The Emoji Movie so it might do less than Cars 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Apes isn't too bad compared to other countries, but I did expect a little more. Dawn opened with £8.7m and Rise with £5.8m. Despicable Me 3 is doing really well. With summer holidays coming up £40m may be on the cards. Decent hold for Spider-Man, down 45% without previews. And how is that pathetic, all spider-man films apart from SM3 have grossed between £24-27m (obviously not taking into account inflation) so it's very consistent, and Homecoming is heading for the same range. It has school holidays coming up too which TASM2 didn't have. Pretty bad for Cars 3, but not unexpected, it's never been that popular. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Dunkirk's OW is going to be interesting, I'm thinking £5-6m which is the range of both Inception which did £5.9m and Interstellar which did £5.3m, it could surprise and do over both since the shorter running time means they can have more showings.

Heretic Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 I think £4-5m opening, with a very strong performance in IMAX especially. Legs will likely be good as it'll skew older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say that the Pound to us dollar annual average make that 4 look like a 5 of the past and would not be that different 2010: 1.545893 2014: 1.647701 2017: 1.261856 4 million in 2017 would be in 2010/2014 exchange rate 2010: 4.9 2014: 5.22 But Inception made 9m and Interstellar 8.5m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
