Rank Film / Distributor Weekend Gross (Fri-Sun) Running Total Week
1 Rampage (Warner Bros) £3.1m £4.1m 1
Peter Rabbit (Sony) £2m £38.1m 5
A Quiet Place (Paramount) £1.9m £6.4m 2
Ready Player One(Warner Bros) £1.2m £14.5m 3
Truth Or Dare (Universal) £922,664 £922,664 1

Warner Bros

Rampage, the latest Dwayne Johnson star vehicle, stormed to the top of the UK box office this weekend with a three-day debut of £3.1m from 559 sites, an average of £5,617. The video-game adaptation has grossed £4.1m, including previews on Wednesday and Thursday. 

That figure is roughly equitable with the film’s US launch of $34.5m (using the accepted wisdom of a UK opening being a tenth of a US opening, without converting the currency). Budgeted at $120m, Rampage is doing well internationally, particularly in China, and has already grossed  $148.6m worldwide.

Johnson’s appeal regularly helps to propel films to strong UK openings: Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle posted an impressive £8.2m opening in 2017, while the Baywatch reboot garnered a seven-day opening of £4.6m, also last year, and the action film Central Intelligence opened to £3.1m in 2016.

Ready Player One is up to £14.5m, adding £1.2m this weekend.

Sony Pictures

Peter Rabbit dropped to second in the chart after an impressive four weeks at number one. The film grossed £2m this weekend, taking it to £38.1m to-date. It has now surpassed Paddington (£37.9m), and further family films including Monsters Inc (£37.9m), Finding Nemo (£37.4m), and Secret Life Of Pets (£36.6m). 

Paramount

Benefiting from strong word-of-mouth, A Quiet Place posted an impressive hold in its second weekend, dropping just 4% to £1.9m. With a gross of £6.4m, the film looks set to be a sleeper hit.

Universal

Horror film Truth Or Dare, the latest from genre masters Blumhouse, opened to £922,664 from 443 locations for an average of £2,023. That is a fair way behind recent Blumhouse productions Get Out (£2.2m), Split (£2.6m), and Insidious: The Last Key (£1.8m) but genre titles can go on to have a long tail if word-of-mouth is good.

Blockers is up to £3.6m after adding £273,036; Pacific Rim: Uprising is up to £4.4m after adding £82,456; Thoroughbreds is up to £100,420 after adding £10,496.

Fox

The Greatest Showman was down a slim 8% this weekend, adding £622,027 for £44.9m to date.

In its second weekend on release, Love, Simon dropped 38% with £621,748 taking it to £2.7m so far. Isle Of Dogs added a further £498,530 for £5.1m to date.

Disney

Black Panther added a further £460,000 in its ninth weekend, taking the film to £49.4m. it should cusp over £50m before Avengers: Infinity War arrives on April 26.

A Wrinkle In Time was down 36% this weekend, adding £156,000 for £2.84m to date, while Coco saw a surge of 197% to £162,000, boosted by a series of lower priced weekend kids’ club screenings, which takes the film to a lifetime of £18.6m

Lionsgate

Ghost Stories dropped 52% in its second weekend, adding £264,601 to take it up to £1.3m.

Trafalgar Releasing

Event cinema release Luisa Miller - Met Opera 2018 played in 205 sites this weekend, grossing £229,648 for an average of £1,120.

Arrow Films

Sergey Loznitsa’s A Gentle Creature opened in six screens with £1,939. With previews, the film is on £3,282.

Curzon

120 Beats Per Minute is up to £143,256 so far, while The Square is up to £677,193.

On the horizon

Avengers: Infinity War is now just ten days away. Next weekend sees the release of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society via Studiocanal, Wildling

Does BP still have a chance to outgross The Avengers? 

TA1 did about £51.9 it seems which means BP will need 2.5m more. It may be possible if BP gets a boost from IW but it will be difficult seeing it needs about 5x what it did this weekend. 

 

In dollar amounts however BP is far behind Avengers as dollar is stronger right now against pound relative to what it was in 2012

Opening day has started being confirmed here in the UK, definitely not on the same level as TFA, Spectre and The Last Jedi when it comes to hoovering up screenings, but it's generally taking 60%-80% of peak time screenings at most cinemas. 

Its not a good comparison, SW did 160M in UK. IW have a chance to pass $ 30M in the first weekend but SW and Bond is on another level .

All those films opened mid week, so it's not exactly wrong. It's still a giant blockbuster with a lot of Hype, but I remember TFA and Spectre being handed 6 out of 6 screens at my old haunt, which IW will not get.

Kind of loving that The Greatest Showman is STILL playing on Thursday, even with the Avengers onslaught coming XD

Why would Avengers have any effect on Greatest Showman? Different audiences. If Black Panther couldn't affect TGS then Avengers won't either.

 

On that note. I love how well it's still doing... I'm going to a screening next week and its half full with still a whole week to go. It is selling out screens every single weekend here and throughout easter last couple weeks. I have never in my life seen a film do this well. I don't recall Avatar selling out 4 months after release.

It's extraordinary and though I thought the film was crap, makes me very happy.

The BO will definitely have suffered this week and weekend due to the amazing weather we are having. Will be back to normal just in time for Infinity War. 

I went to the very first showing of Every Day at my theater in the blistering heat... There was 3 people in there! 

 

On the journey though I saw TONS of people outside having fun enjoying the sun

Not surprised, after what feels like the longest winter ever, we've suddenly been blessed with summer. Everyone is out enjoying it.

Some of us have uni exams next week that desperately need revision. Although I did take my birthday off to watch Every Day :)
