I’m still amazed it’s an 18, nothing in the film warrants that rating. I’m going to guess around £600k.

Disappointing £715k for Soho. Hopefully will do well with mid-week audiences 

It actually made more than I guessed. 
 

5 films above £1m is great to see

[Krissykins]

Disney didn’t report Hocus Pocus for some reason?

 

That PTA for the Blade re-release is grim. £20k from 183 cinemas. 

 

Halloween Kills held steady on the festive weekend, falling just 1.2% with £759,241 taking it to £4.6m from three sessions.
 

Great hold for Halloween Kills.

Not surprised by HK’s hold, I saw it again last night and it was practically sold out. Cineworld hired a Michael Myers cosplayer to walk up and down the screen half way through, my Dad nearly shit himself 😂

Rank	Film (Distributor)	Three-day gross (Oct 29-31)	Total gross to date	Week

There's nothing left to say about Bond's performance by this point. That it's on track to land number 3 all time is insane. I do wonder if it would have made much more with or without pandemic - bizarrely enough, being the first truly massive film post pandemic might have given it an all round boost with more casual audiences.

 

Dune should get to £20m with a 3x multi off this weekend. I wonder if it can get to £22m to dethrone Shang-Chi for number two of 2021 spot? In any case, Spiderman will easily out-do it come December. Still unsure on Eternals - personally, the middling reviews have put me off quite a bit...

Looks like they’re getting Bond out on Blu Ray in time for Christmas too, all the major retailers seem to have updated their release date listings to 20/12/21.

i noticed this. Would be a remarkable break of the rules for a Uni theatrical title. I know we’ve had WB and Disney titles break the U.K. 4 month to retail rule this year, but all of those were HBO Max/Disney PA titles. Hmmm

Amazing lol. Yeh it looked busier than Soho and Antlers here all weekend too. 
 

Having a look at Eternals sales so far for this Friday, you wouldn’t think it was an MCU film. Also, where is the advertising?

Got fewer screens at my cinema than Shang Chi managed. Definitely feels very muted

There is, but Shang-Chi and Black Widow were everywhere. 
 

Mind you, I’m sure the Eternals trailer was played before Bond, one of the top 5 biggest movies of all time lol. 

[john2000]

Bond is still kicking butt ,so not really suprised.

[SchumacherFTW]

Just checked Ghostbusters screenings at my local, 5 of 15 for opening weekend. Sony looooves ScreenX.

It really is very quiet isn’t it. Outside the occasional bus advert there’s barely been anything, I haven’t seen any TV ads yet. The trailer’s played before every film I’ve seen since at least August though, so maybe they’re thinking the UK is aware of it since everyone and their dog saw Bond. Looking at the presales though, it doesn’t look like anyone cares…

It’s a shame that no paying customers love it!

Dune please (at least for this week) provide some time for NTTD to pass £100M 🥲 because Eternals will distrub

[charlie Jatinder]

Some you Englishmen shall start tracking sales of your local regions. We will atleast have better idea beforehand on things.

[SchumacherFTW]

@charlie Jatinder Sooryavanshi looking pretty wide this weekend, not as wide as some Khan movies or Baahubali, but still pretty wide.

Yeah I guess it will be releasing on 100+ locs for sure but won't do much. UK is dying market for Bollywood. Used to do 2.5M range in 2000s now struggle to cross 1M.
