Guessing they’re squeezing in a couple of Bond showings between them. Crossing my fingers for an 11pm Halloween Kills, but not holding my breath.

Venom has 14 showings on sale just now at mine and none of them are superscreen, vip or 4DX… yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s got 4DX all day, Screen X until 6:20pm (assuming there will be probably be a Bond showing in there around 8pm), and one of the VIP screens. I’d imagine it’ll take the SuperScreens elsewhere too. It definitely seems like Halloween is getting shafted when it comes to PLF’s, which is unfair considering it staked out the PFL’s well before Venom did. I can’t imagine Universal is very happy about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So annoying about Halloween Kills, knew this would happen unfortunately. Next weekend I’m seeing Last Night in Soho early, then Scream on the Tuesday, Halloween Kills on the Friday and Titane on the Saturday. It should be a great week for horror. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanic2187 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Hard to compare this to Spectre since Spectre was a 7 days opening. But any record rivaling pre-pandemic time is definitely earth-shattering . Spectre did 95m gbp in 2015 while domestic did $200m back then. Using same ratio, this should signal some......$54m opening for NTTD next week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a reasonable expectation is between $75-80m, although some are predicting higher. Edited October 3, 2021 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would equivalent to Casino Royale OW numbers adjusted. $70-75 perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, SnokesLegs said: 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. I think Venom has mild gory elements that pushes to a 15, there's a fair number of PG-13 rated films in recent years that end up being 15 rated because of those elements like The Mummy. I think NTTD will have a halo effect on the upcoming slate, maybe not Venom because that's aimed at a younger audience but Dune shares some of the audience that watches Bond plus Denis Villeneuve's previous films have done well in the UK like Blade Runner and Arrival.

Heretic Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Stunning opening for Bond. Will probably top £45m by Sunday, and depending on how well it holds, might even be nearer to the £50m mark by that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfall did like 3x in USA over UK ($303m vs 103m pound) in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
