reddevil19 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 It's doing gangbusters today as well, so not surprised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efialtes76 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) The UK led holdovers, producing $12m (£9.8m) following a 22% drop for $36.9m (£30m) Edited October 13, 2019 by efialtes76 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Hopefully it increases to £10m with actuals. I’d say this is the most impressive second weekend ever at the UK BO. It’s unprecedented for a film such as this without any holidays/Christmas to drop only 20%, and even more so for a film that opened as big as Joker did. The fact this has already hit the £30m mark is insane. As expected, weekdays were huge, £7.6m. Another £4.5m Mon-Thu, and a £5.5m 3rd weekend (which would be a 44% drop) would put this at £40m by next Sunday. So £50m is definitely within reach as things stand.

I was in New York pretty much 4 years ago to the day, and I was able to buy a car with a tenner I found in my jacket pocket. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the ER is diabolical, it makes passing even $50m a challenge these days. Joker would have made $80m with 2015’s exchange rate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ 95 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Weekend Actual £ 9.7m (-22%) Total £ 30m, same like what WB reported yesterday https://www.screendaily.com/news/joker-tops-uk-box-office-again-after-outstanding-second-weekend/5143835.article 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Looking around, Joker is again selling out shows tonight in various London locations. Looks like weekday business will be abnormally strong once more, so this could be in the mid 30s going into the weekend.

Picturehouse is the same with a couple of exceptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of ticket price (and it hasn’t only been performing well on cheap Monday’s) the Joker has been performing exceptionally well for a film released at this time of year. For comparison, it made only £1m less than TDKR’s first Mon-Thu, and that opened to nearly £15m during summer. It should have another strong Mon-Thu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil19 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 And, to be fair, after that weekend hold, a slightly more normal weekdays figure wouldn't be shocking, especially if the weekend ends up strong again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdsacken Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Yeah Vue everywhere pretty much gives big Monday discounts. Cambridge was 5 pounds on Monday. Meerkat movies was Tuesday and Wednesday I think? Edited October 15, 2019 by cdsacken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solaris Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Just posted this in the Joker OS thread - FWIW my showing in Dublin was 100% full. A 6pm showing on a Tuesday in an arthouse cinema (Light House). Can't see this missing £50m. Maybe even £60m if it keeps holding. My partner (who hates anything even remotely sci-fi/fantasy/comic book related) wants to see this. Feels like a.proper crossover event here 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Could be quite a close race for no.1 this weekend, although I think Joker will comfortably retain the crown for the 3rd week. I’m thinking around a 45% drop for a £5.4m weekend, and a total around the £39-40m mark by Sunday. Maleficent will probably open with £3-4m. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Maleficent is scooping up near enough all premium format screens from what I've seen so far. Joker may keep hold of the odd late IMAX show, or cinema specific Premium screen, but it feels like there's going to be some pretty empty BIG screens this weekend.

Heretic Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 $49.9m for Joker which is around £38.5m. Will pass £40m this week. £50m is still up in the air but this has already passed even the wildest expectations. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
