So your guess actually surpassed his $70M expectation lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 I think $65m-70m is the likeliest range right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdsacken Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 That's a great jump considering the plummet in currency. Seems like another plummet is coming shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Wars is on 29 times this Friday with all the premium formats, Cats is on 9 screens with none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Cats biggest room has 60 seats. Has a few sell outs for next weekend, because the rooms are so small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipJ2001 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 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. Star Wars is looking good but not amazing. Pre-sales aren't as good as Last Jedi - maybe people are waiting for reviews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Last Christmas still doing great business although once Christmas is over, it'll sink like a rock but still a success for Universal. Knives Out is also doing good business, a £10-12m is likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Again Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Knowing very little about the market I’d guess more like £26.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
