So if that was true for the rest of the country it could be looking at maybe £4m for these two days, and over £7m for the whole 4 days of previews. Absolutely fantastic.Must be the severe lack of kids films recently. It's day business did look busier than Spiderman around me too. I was surprised.

Jonwo Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) WOW.

Absolutely fantastic.Must be the severe lack of kids films recently. It's day business did look busier than Spiderman around me too. I was surprised.Ice Age has already been released in Ireland and Scotland so only the England and Wales previews will be included when it's officially released plus whatever it made in Ireland and Scotland that weekend. I imagine Ice Age will be number 2 or 3 this weekend from those two countries alone.The Lorax also has previews the weekend before its release, guess Universal are using it as counter programming to the Dark Knight and to dent Ice Age.

fmpro Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 if including previews probably around $us17-18mThanks Rth..I love that number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 It was never going to open more than $17-18m. In light of most of the other European numbers, I'd call that an excellent opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 that's big.but not big as Raimi's trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) that's big.but not big as Raimi's trilogy.True, but that's expected.Also, bear in mind the massive change in exchange rates. Had this opened in 2007, the numbers would be above $20m. Admissions would still be down though due to inflation and 3D, but that's the same as everywhere else (excluding some Asian markets).

Heretic Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Well it was at 104m on Thursday OS and domestically it's looking at 140m so that would require over 150m for the weekend.Possible, but I think it'll fall just short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Going by how poor the showing I went to on Friday evening was i'm surprised it's doing this well. Then again, the cinema I went to is the shittest Odeon in the country. My arse still bloody hurts from their seats, and payed a tenner for the damn privilage!!Hopefully it can hold well next weekend as I thought it was really good, better than Spider-man, but not quite as good as Spider-man 2.

SchumacherFTW Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 There's two of the four screens running there, one 3D and one 2D. I'm glad I went to the screening I did though, one of the group leaders I dealt with at work during the day was buying at least 50 tickets, possibly up to 100, for the next 3D show for a load of spanish and itallian students. I wouldn't have been able to bare a full screening like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
