Ipickthiswhiterose Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 It's also with noting that while Bond generally has positive media coverage, currently it is slavering all over it. If we were outside of the current situation you could even argue the BBC is bordering on breaching neutrality the extent to which it is providing free publicity and going with the 'saviour of cinema' tag. There is no way anyone in the country is unaware this is coming out and that they are 'supposed' to go to it, even if they are non cinemagoers who never watch film trailers on Youtube or anything.

I rolled my eyes at the whole 'saviour of cinema' thing with Bond. Yes, it'll bring back those who don't see films at the cinema that often but it completely undermines things that have done well in the last few months like Shang-Chi, Free Guy etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Jatinder Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Guess NWH can try biggest opening weekend of year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 While Bond is likely to dominate for the next month or so, it'll be interesting to see how Venom and Dune fares. I imagine there is going to be a lot of juggling by cinemas in terms of the PLFs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Maybe savior of UK cinema? Nothing blew up quite like NTTD there while America had a number of very strong openings and great holds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has blown up but there's been plenty of films that have cracked £10m+ since cinemas have reopened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might do better business than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means pure THU was 4.45M. FRI can bump from that. I feared if Midnight were something like 800-1000K, making FRI bump tough.

SchumacherFTW Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Friday definitely looking a lot busier than Thursday. Saturday looking at £7m+ based on current sales, could go even higher 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 Friday nights are usually much busier due to the weekend, especially the later shows past 9/10pm. Certainly looks that way tonight. Packed shows everywhere I’m looking. Saturday daytime business should see a big increase from today, and evening business should sustain so will be a huge day for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Shang-Chi passed Black Widow yesterday. Peter Rabbit still the biggest of the year with £20.4m. Bond will beat them all by Sunday night. £4.89m Thursday final. Edited October 1, 2021 by Krissykins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
