UK BOX OFFICE WEEKEND RESULTS - SCREENDAILY

 

WARNER BROS

Dunkirk continued to dominate the UK box office as it fell less than 20% from its huge opening.

Warner Bros’ war epic fought to a non-final $10.7m (£8.17m) second weekend, currently a drop of only 19%, for an impressive $35.4m (£27m) after ten days in play, and will soon become the fifth release of 2017 to hit £30m.

After adding $11.5m (£8.8m) over its first Mon-Thurs period, Dunkirk is already director Christopher Nolan’s fourth biggest UK release. It will potentially have overtaken Inception’s $47m (£35.81m) by the end of this coming weekend.

Nolan’s highest-grossing film in the UK is The Dark Knight Rises’ $73.9m (£56.3m) and given its run to date and the upcoming competition, Dunkirk could well be challenging that over the coming weeks.

FOX

Captain Underpants arrived in second after opening last Monday (July 24) as the schools broke up for summer.

Fox’s latest DreamWorks Animation release grossed a non-final $3.3m (£2.5m) from its 557 sites, including $1.6m (£1.2m) from Mon-Thurs. Its Fri-Sun tally of $1.66m (£1.27m) would have seen it chart fifth.

That’s pretty low for a DreamWorks title, significantly behind the likes of recent releases The Boss Baby and Home, and is more in line with the debuts of Megamindand Bee Movie. Don’t bet against it hanging around all summer though given Fox’s success with animations.

Also for Fox, War For The Planet Of The Apes fell 39% with a $2.17m (£1.65m) third weekend for $21.3m (£16.24m) to date. It will surpass Rise’s $27.3m (£20.77m) over the coming weeks.

The Boss Baby has now amassed $37.9m (£28.9m).

UNIVERSAL

As a result of Captain Underpants’ previews, Despicable Me 3 fell to third with a $2.9m (£2.24m) fifth weekend, a drop of only 28%.

Universal’s latest Illumination Entertainment release is now up to a strong $47m (£35.84m) and is set to prosper over the summer holidays. Even with competition from The Emoji Movie this weekend, it could cross £40m over the coming week.

Also for Universal, Girls Trip enjoyed an auspicious start to its UK run with $2.04m (£1.56m) from its 345 sites, including $524,000 (£399,537) in previews.

That marks a healthy site average of $5,921 (£4,516) for the female-led adult comedy, and its debut compares favourably to the $1.93m (£1.47m) bow of Bad Moms last year from 463 sites, with that film going on to take $11.3m (£8.6m).

The Beguiled has grossed $1.34m (£1.02m) after three weeks in play.

SONY

In its fourth weekend, Sony’s Spider-Man: Homecomingfell a slim 29% as it swung to $2.1m (£1.6m) for $32.2m (£24.5m) to date.

It’s currently the seventh biggest Marvel release to date and has overtaken The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s $31.6m (£24.1m) UK result, with The Amazing Spider-Man’s $34m (£25.9m) soon to be surpassed.

Also for Sony, Baby Driver continued its excellent run with a 25% drop on its way to a $673,000 (£513,000) fifth weekend for $14.6m (£11.1m) to date.

DISNEY

Falling 39% in its third weekend, Disney’s Cars 3 added $1.35m (£1.03m) for $9.7m (£7.4m) so far. It’s still with a way to go to avoid becoming the lowest-grossing Pixar release in the UK, currently The Good Dinosaur’s $19.4m (£14.8m).

ARROW FILMS

From its 30 sites through Arrow Films, Hounds Of Loveposted a UK bow of $28,000 (£21,049), including $8,200 (£6,219) in previews.

UPCOMING RELEASES

This week sees saturation releases for Lionsgate’s Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets (opens August 2) and Sony’s The Emoji Movie.

Sony’s Maudie receives a wide release, while Arrow Films’ The Ghoul, eOne’s England Is Mine and Curzon Artificial Eye’s Williams is among the films receiving a limited release.

I'm surprised aside from Despicable Me 3, how poorly family films are doing in the summer. Captain Underpants to only do £2.5m for the week is not good and Cars 3 hasn't even cracked £10m. I can't imagine The Emoji Movie and The Nut Job 2 doing much either.

Apes was 4th so must be a mistake in the report. 

 

Homecoming is starting to produce some good legs now after good drops two weekends in a row. Could get to the £30m mark which is a great considering SM3 is the only one to have passed that milestone. It's almost guaranteed to become the 2nd biggest SM film now, although in $ it's a different story.

It should have been listed 4th according to their own report

 

Also for Fox, War For The Planet Of The Apes fell 39% with a $2.17m (£1.65m) third weekend for $21.3m (£16.24m) to date

Dawn did $55m in UK. This one looking at $27-28m?...50% drop.

Some extrapolations for Dunkirk... Considering it made £8.8m last Monday to Friday, it's reasonable to expect £5m this week. A 30% weekend drop gives it a £5.7m third weekend for a total of at least £37.7m by Sunday. Ofcourse, it could drop softer than that in which case it would be approaching the £40m mark. £60m could be on the cards if it pulls off another sub-20% drop, but £50m is pretty much assured which is incredible in its own right.

Dunkirk has tougher competition in Valerian, I'm not expecting that to do more than £2-2.5m five days but it's taking more all non IMAX PLFs and 4DX so Dunkirk might see a slightly higher drop.

Girls Trip did £1.5m for the five days which is decent while Captain Underpants did £2.4m for the seven days which isn't great. Both numbers are from Ian Sandwell's twitter. 

GT Way way over performed London & Ireland, over a bit Central  England , not so much elsewhere

It was a given that Dunkirk would be big but this is seriously impressive... could seriously be looking at up to £60M if it keeps holding like this, which it should given theres so little competition. £27M after 10 days is bonkers.
