SnokesLegs Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 1 hour ago, Chicago said: Its at the point where we only know about it because of the news. The weather in the UK is lovely and people are quite frankly happy to get back to normal now. We may see another wave in deaths but I dont think anything is stopping the country from opening back up thanks to the higher number of jabs administered From my perspective, it’s definitely not just a case of “only knowing about it because of the news”, I know more people now infected with it or isolating than at any other time during the last 18 months. The vaccines are obviously reducing the risk of death, but we’re definitely not out of the woods anytime soon. Anyway, back to box office talk, I’m not surprised that Croods 2 underwhelmed considering it’s arriving 8 months after the US. Just like what happened with Freaky, anybody who was genuinely interested in it will have either “acquired it”, or imported the US Blu Ray. They’d have been better off putting those out on PVOD at the same time as the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More cinemas and showtimes than any other new release this week. I knew families would’ve watched it on their dodgy box things instead.

I know 2 people who currently have it, they have a slight cough and are still working from home. Its getting back to normal from my perspective. People don't even take the NHS App seriously these days, if it tells you to isolate, you just uninstall the app. Comparing all this from a year ago where people were too scared to walk on the same side of the road as others, I'd say there's definitely less interest or concern amongst the public. It was only last weekend the entire country was out socialising. People used to be scared of catching Covid from the side effects, now people are just scared of having to isolate Edited July 19, 2021 by Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’d been smart they could have had a “have your cake and eat it” scenario where they released it on PVOD at a similar time to the US last year (Croods would have done extremely well over Christmas) and then given them both an extra push when cinemas reopened. I bet in the case of Freaky it would have made a similar amount theatrically. 8 minutes ago, Chicago said: People don't even take the NHS App seriously these days, if it tells you to isolate, you just uninstall the app. I definitely agree about that. I never installed the app, it always seemed easily exploitable (what’s to stop someone maliciously marking themselves as positive and then sitting in a cinema, pinging everyone in their radius?). One of my friends received an alert because their neighbour had it and the app couldn’t even tell that there was a brick wall in the way…totally pointless.

Probably looking at 50m tuning into the game on Sunday just in the UK alone. To put that in perspective, if all those viewers watched one movie, that movie would quadruple UK's highest grossing movie with £500m. Madness, i'm impressed BW made money at all that day seeing as the finals was the most watched event in the history of the nation Consolidated ratings are now in from BBC and ITV: 22,474,278 including devices, pre and post shows. Breakdown: BBC One - 18,031,658 ITV - 4,442,620 Not sure where 42/60m came from lol. Edited July 19, 2021 by Krissykins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my friends received an alert because their neighbour had it and the app couldn’t even tell that there was a brick wall in the way…totally pointless. The problem I have with the app is I cant simply 'not go to work'. My boss has had a leg operation so I have to be in to run the business. As soon as the app pinged me I felt I had no choice but to delete it and get a test done. Same goers for contractors where installing the app just means there is a higher chance they will be forced to self isolate without pay. I wont take the piss and start visiting pubs or cinemas but not everyone can simply take a week off work at a drop of a hat And then we find out our own PM doesn't even take the app seriously as not even they were isolating after being pinged. I don't even blame them either, but it's no wonder the app has been quite the failure. Even my mother-in-law got pinged and you couldn't get her to leave the house if there was a fire Edited July 19, 2021 by Chicago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I don't believe your 22m figure is correct as every other link on google still states 31m. 22m would be a drop from the semi final viewing of 23m so that can't be right.

Either way its the UK's most watched event I believe the 1966 World Cup final still has that accolade with 32.3 million. Princess Diana’s funeral also beat the Euro 2020 final with 32.1 million (although admittedly, that one probably didn’t have many pub viewers…). Either way, the fact that Black Widow wasn’t completely flattened by it is surprisingly positive news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Bojo's speech lol. Though the 31m doesnt seem to include live streams. One source is saying there was an additional 11m watched online, hence my 42m figure. Even the sources saying 31m have added that this doesn't include live streams. 32m back in 1966 when the population was 54m is impressive though. We will beat that when we win the world cup next year 😛 I watched BW last week, it really is just a filler movie.
