£55M is equivalent to roughly $72M. So your guess actually surpassed his $70M expectation lol.

When I posted that, it would’ve been $68m, so lol. 
 

 

Star Wars is on 29 times this Friday with all the premium formats, Cats is on 9 screens with none.

Sony

Action sequel Jumanji: The Next Level has replaced Disney’s Frozen II at the top of the UK box office by taking £5.2m over its opening weekend.

The Sony title scored an £8,000 location average from 641 sites and reported a declared opening of £9.4m. Adding to the £3m from last week’s previews, further previews on Wednesday and Thursday grossed £1.2m for a total of £4.25m.

In December 2017, Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle opened with £8.15m (including £4.11m in previews) and went on to gross £38.5m.

This means the sequel has opened 15% higher than its predecessor and brings Sony’s gross for the year to £99.5m.

Charlie’s Angels took £45,000 on its third weekend, tipping the reboot over the million mark with £1.1m to date.

Alma Har’el’s Honey Boy added £16,000, taking it up to £80,000.

Disney

Frozen II finally fell from the top spot on its fourth weekend, dipping just 28% with £3.17m. This takes the animated sequel to £38.27m, making it the sixth highest-grossing title of 2019 so far.

Going into the festive break, it is edging toward the £43.1m grossed by the first film in 2013.

Le Mans ’66 dropped 35% with £125,000, taking it to £5.9m after five weekends.

Universal

Horror remake Black Christmas struggled on its opening weekend, taking just £282,536 from 401 sites – a location average of £705. The previous remake of the 1974 original opened with £368,000 in December 2006.

Last Christmas added £1.28m on its fifth weekend. Thanks to a decent tail, the film is now up to £14.9m.

Abominable added £56,792 for £8.13m after 10 weekends; while The Addams Family added £24,157 for £9.6m after eight.

Romantic drama Ordinary Love, starring Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville, added £13,599 on its second weekend for a total of £161,874.

Lionsgate

Rian Johnson’s star-studded whodunnit Knives Out held well on its third weekend, falling just 24% with £1.25m. It is now up to £8.4m, proving a good result for Lionsgate.

Paramount

Rapman’s Blue Story fell 39% on its fourth weekend, with £232,000 taking it to £4.13m total. The film has passed the £3.3m of 2008 genre companion Adulthood as well as the £3.7m of 2016’s Brotherhood.

Warner Bros

The 25th-anniversary screenings of select Friends episodes brought in £87,000 – the highest grosser for Warner Bros over the weekend – and is up to £302,000 after two weeks.

Edward Norton’s Motherless Brooklyn took £50,000 for a total of £343,000 on its second week.

Joker added £43,000 on its eleventh session and has £57.83m. It is the fourth high-grossing of 2019 to date, behind Disney’s Toy Story 4, The Lion King and Avengers: Endgame.

A 4k re-release of comedy-horror Gremlins put on £23,000 for a total of £233,000.

The Good Liar added £21,000 for £3.79m total.

Park Circus

A re-release of 2004 festive film Elf added £81,516 from 280 locations and is up to £269,000 while documentary Aquarela took £4,555 from nine sites.

Predictions for Star Wars?  O/U TLJ’s £28m 4 day? 
 

Pre-sales look strong (obviously) and the number of showtimes is staggering. Early reactions also seem very positive. Like the previous two films, this is opening on Thursday. 

For reference, TFA opened with £34m.

 

TFA's opening breakdown:

Thu - £9.7m (£7.3m exc midnight)

Fri - £7m

Sat - £8.7m

Sun - £8.6m

 

TLJ: 

Thu: £7.6m

Fri: £5.6m

Sat: £7.6m

Sun: £7.2m

 

I’m expecting very similar numbers for TROS:

Thu: £7.9m

Fri: £5.7m

Sat: £7.7m

Sun: £7.2m

 

Total opening £28.5m ($38m)

But there's quite a few negative/mixed reactions - looks like we'll see tomorrow when the Rotten Tomatoes' scores are out ~

 

These are not reviews and I can find negative and mixed comments for literally all films.

I know, but those are reactions and those are some of the individuals who will be submitting their reviews today for Rotten Tomatoes, as the embargo for reviews ends tomorrow.

We've got Cats in our second screen (92 seats) because of star wars. It's sold out every show 4 times a day next week.

 

Maybe they’ll move into bigger rooms after the fanboy rush for Star Wars dies down a bit after the first weekend.
