On a side note, while looking at these lists:
 

The Full Monty was the biggest film of all time in the UK at one point (before Titanic) and grossed £52.2m.
 

In 1997.
 

When tickets were £3.54.

 

With a 15 certificate. 

 

for a film about unemployed Dad’s who decide to strip.
 

What a cultural phenomenon. 

 

I remember it well.

 

Entire friendship groups and office groups - especially of women - were going multiple times as whole parties. 

 

Extremely similar dynamics to what happened with both Mamma Mias and Bohemian Rhapsody, but even more so.

 

Sort of like Black Panther in the US in terms of becoming driven by organised viewings by collective groups.

 

It's phenomenon was forgotten quickish since Titanic came along so soon after. That was a wild back-to-back for UK cinemas.

If we considering all-time ranking for each James Bond 007 Series have done it in UK ,then will be

The Spy who loved me(2nd of all time after Jaws)

Moonraker(4th of all time)

For your eyes only(6th of all time)

Casino  Royale(6th of all time)

Skyfall(Biggest of all time)

Spectre(3rd Biggest of all time)

I can't find Goldfinger and Thunderball performance in UK,but I reckon they have an impressive performance in UK,for their incredible performance across the world

£1.3m Friday for Dune, from Deadline. Cume £2.4m so far. 

£5m four days is looking very likely.

Was looking crazy busy around Leicester Square cinemas today, regardless of the movie the industry is in excellent shape right now. Fingers crossed this continues. 

 

I've been to Central London a few times for various reasons and it's nice to see it busy again and I never thought I would ever say previously.

I suppose to use a more recent equivalent would be The Inbetweeners Movie which did really strong business.

Dune brought in about £5.45M this weekend

That's a solid debut although not as high as Blade Runner 2049 which did £6.1m although TBF BR2049 didn't had a lot less competition. 

 

I think NTTD may have won Fri-Sun as Deadline reports it fell by 46%.

If NTTD fell by 46%, it means £4,53M FFS < £5,45M for Dune.

So NTTD didn't won this weekend or am I wrong ?

Guessing Dune’s total includes the Thursday. It’ll be close, but NTTD made more across the weekend itself.

 

NTTD's weekend should include THU as well since in many overseas markets the weekend goes from THU to SUN.

And Dune's Thursday was £983k, so it would be very very close. We will know which movie really won this weekend with the actuals coming tomorrow.
