It could end up being #4 highest Sat 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to think what the top Saturdays are. Endgame, TFA, Infinity War? For such a big market, it is so disappointing that we don’t have access to more granular information like daily box office/admissions for the UK like most other European countries (or even the rest of the world for that matter).

PhilipJ2001 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 yeah just checked the figures this morning and it's looking up about 45% on friday, so maybe closer to £8m? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s increased every day so far despite a Thursday opening and midnights. You know it’s an event when actual news programmes are including the box office story in their line ups lol.

solaris Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 So £19m FSS / £24m 4 day looking likely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandeak2000 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Damn so that means £13.6M (ish) for Friday and Saturday. Add another £5.5M and that is £19.1M and I think it'll do better than that. Overall that would also mean a TFSS or £23.9M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 If Saturday is £8m, I can see Sunday near £6m due to overspill from yesterday. Films that have monster Saturdays usually drop quite softly on the Sunday (ie 20%) compared to a norm of 30%+ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinemas must be absolutely lapping this up after the last 18 months Thought I'd chime in here, having seen 37 films since cinema's reopened (at Cineworld), all have had 20-25 minutes of adverts and trailers after the advertised start time. Some even as low as 17/18 minutes. Just got back from NTTD, and it had a whole 39 minutes of adverts + trailers! Advertised start time 11:30am, it actually started (with the bbfc screen) at 12:09pm, absolutely insane. So yeah, cinemas are loving the attention right now and making the most of it. (to be clear I was happy to sit through the ads and trailers if it helps keep cinemas afloat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My showing was still maybe 60% full though, which is crazy compared to other things I've been to recently. I went to see "herself" the day it came out on a friday night and literally 5 other people were there. Kinda funny but also sad. That said, there are some big hitters coming up I hope for the UK, in my opinion: Venom 2 should do decently well, although not sure what rating it will be (I seem to remember that may have hurt it last time) Dune has been advertised as a blockbuster and epic, don't think it's making massive numbers, but should still be "good" Dear Evan Hansen, I know it didn't do well in the US but I feel it has a chance to do good here as we love musicals Eternals, should do good given it's Marvel and no D+ release Edited October 3, 2021 by Stewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't sleep on Dune, numbers so far are pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie Jatinder Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 8M SAT will mean 25M 4-days (~2.4M admits), very respectable number. 80M is certainly a possibility. 750k+ admits. A good ~70 per show average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnokesLegs Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 4 minutes ago, FilmFincher said: Venom 2 is once again a 15 They really have a weird thing for these films at the BBFC, there’s nothing in either of these movies that you wouldn’t see or hear in a typical MCU movie. Venom having the same rating as The Suicide Squad is a bit of a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
