Highest grossing Marvel film is AoU with £51.9m. I'd give BP a 50:50 chance of topping that right now. It'll be close. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highest superhero movies are Dark Knight Rises at £56.3m and The Avengers at £51.9m, I'd say it's very unlikely, especially since it's missed any kind of Easter boost and only TFA and Skyfall have surpassed £100m (at 123 and 103 resp.) Certainly not impossible, but with the current situation I wouldn't bet money on it Edited March 29, 2018 by feasby007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will almost certainly top The Avengers to become to biggest Marvel film, but the ceiling is probably £65-70m. Right now I'd say around the £60m mark would be a reasonable expectation.

Heretic Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Peter Rabit is far busier than any other film from what I'm seeing, including RPO. Considering the diabolical weather we are having, it should have a pretty huge holiday weekend and boost over the next two weeks of school holidays.

It's not too bad here in Stevenage, maybe spitting a little atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 According to Deadline, Ready Player One did £1.07m on Thursday including previews so I think it has a shot of doing £6m four days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Weird, I'm only in Cambridge but this week has been lovely, it rained yesterday but otherwise very sunny and relatively warm.

Not too bad today though I will grant you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Cambridge must be in a bubble. I took my dog to the park this morning and the park is like a swamp. It's 8 degrees right now, I wouldn't call that warm at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 It was 16 degrees at points this week, I consider that spring not winter. Yes it has rained on and off but been warm and sunny, warm enough for me to not wear a coat to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Peter Rabbit increased, $8.4m, $30.9m total with two weeks of school holidays ahead. Pretty insane, could get past the $50m mark if it keeps this up. RPO still had a decent opening in 2nd, $7.3m. Black Panther continues its amazing run, dropped 21%, up to $65.2m now, so $70m is definitely the target.

efialtes76 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Rank Film / Distributor Weekend Gross (Fri-Sun) Running Total Week 1 Peter Rabbit (Sony) £5.6m £21.6m 3 2 Ready Player One(Warner Bros) £4.0m £6.7m 1 3 Isle Of Dogs (20thCentury Fox) £2m £2.2m 1 4 Black Panther (Disney) £1.1m £47m 7 5 Blockers (Universal) £932,196 £1.7m 1 Today’s GBP to USD conversion rate - 1.41 Sony Pictures Peter Rabbit became Sony Pictures’ widest ever UK release, playing in 694 locations this three-day Easter holiday weekend (the UK has roughly 760 cinemas) and staying top of the box office chart. Boosted by Good Friday takings of £2.3m, the film was up 21% over the previous three-day weekend, adding £5.6m to take it to a running total of £21.6m. The Easter Monday brought in a further £2.6m, taking it to £24.3m after three weeks. Both Good Friday and Easter Monday are holidays in the UK. Peter Rabbit surpasses Sony Pictures Animation’s previous highest grossing film in the UK, Hotel Transylvania 2 (£20.7m), and puts it ahead of recent family titles such as Zootropolis (£24m) and Coco (£18.3m running total). After three weeks and a day on release, the film is tracking ahead of both Paddington (£14.6m) and Paddington 2 (£23.3m), though this rabbit may not have a long enough tail to challenge those films’ overall grosses (£37.9m and £42.8m respectively). Elsewhere, Proud Mary added £927 for a £52,000 gross to date. Warner Bros Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One opened this weekend with a £4m three-day opening from 624 sites. Its gross is now £6.7m, which includes Easter Monday and previews from last week. The three-day total of £4.0m is the fourth best for Spielberg in the UK, behind The BFG (£5.3m) War Of The Worlds (£8.6m) and Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (£12.2m) and comfortably tops recent Spielberg releases such as The Post (£2.2m), Bridge Of Spies (£1.7m) and Lincoln (£1.7m). Spielberg’s highest-grossing UK film remains 1993’s Jurassic Park (£47.9m) and while Ready Player One has the blockbuster status, it’s unlikely to have the mass appeal to get close to that total. Tomb Raider dropped to ninth in the chart in its third week, adding £569,00 for the three-day weekend. It now sits on £6.9m. 20th Century Fox Wes Anderson’s stop-motion animation Isle Of Dogs opened to £2m from its 472 sites for an average of £4,326. Including previews, the film is up to £2.2m. That’s Anderson’s best ever UK opening, topping 2009’s The Grand Budapest Hotel (£1.53m) and his previous stop-motion feature Fantastic Mr Fox (£1.5m) in 2009. The latter went on to gross £9.2m, comfortably his best performing title in the UK to-date. The Greatest Showman is officially out of the UK top five after thirteen consecutive weeks, falling to sixth in its fourteenth weekend with £809,504. The musical is up to £41.8m and has now surpassed the lifetime of Les Miserables(£40.8m). Ahmed Khan’s Hindi-language thriller Baaghi 2, starring action star Tiger Shroff (who is set to star in an Indian remake of Rambo) opened into 216 sites over Easter. The film posted takings of £216,269 for a site average of £4,241. In its second week, Steven Soderbergh’s Unsane added £161,371 for £1m to-date. Elsewhere, Red Sparrow is up to £6.2m after adding £132,060, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri posted £109,789 for £14.9m to-date, while The Shape Of Water is up to £7.5m after adding £73,448. Disney Black Panther dropped to fourth in the chart this weekend, adding £1.1m. The film is now up to £47m. A Wrinkle In Time fell to 10th in the chart in its second weekend, adding £390,000 over the three-day. It’s now up to £1.7m to-date. Coco received a £100,000 Easter boost for £18.3m to-date. Universal US comedy Blockers, starring Leslie Mann and John Cena, posted a three-day weekend of £932,196, which added to previews and the bank holiday Monday for takings of £1.7m to-date. Pacific Rim Uprising added £655,542 in its second weekend for £3.4m to-date, still a long way shy of the original film’s £8.4m gross. Entertainment Family animation Duck Duck Goose opened over Easter with £1m from 453 cinemas, including previews. Trafalgar Event cinema release Cosi Fan Tutte played in more than 200 venues over Easter, taking £264,926 for a site average of £1,286, with around 30 cinemas yet to be tallied. Curzon The Square added £53,288 over the weekend to take it to £597,481 to-date. On the horizon Paramount has the John Krasinski-directed thriller A Quiet Place out on Thursday (April 5), Lionsgate has UK horror Ghost Stories, 20th Century Fox has coming-out drama Love, Simon, Vertigo has the Death Wish remake, Studiocanal has Todd Haynes’ Wonderstruck, Universal has Cory Finley’s drama Thoroughbreds, Curzon has the Cannes hit BPM (Beats Per Minute) (120 Beats Per Minute), while Sky Cinema has the second film under its day-and-date distribution deal with Altitude, thriller The Hurricane Heist, out in the UK. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I think WB will be pleased with RPO's UK opening and given the positive WOM should get to £15-20m total which would very good. Isle of Dogs did extremely well, interesting that Wes Anderson has more of a following in the UK compared to the US and Blockers did okay as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
