In Canada (at least BC), as long as one member of the group is over 17 (or 18 in our case) everyone in that group can go in.

 

In south London they'll just let anyone in even though it's legally prohibited. Rarely any movie goes beyond a 15 rating nowadays, and the 15 rated films kids and families turn up for tend to superhero stuff or films bumped to a 15 rating due to a technicality (The Batman). It's easier to let everyone in rather than get into a dispute and start extending queues to issue refunds from my understanding.

No children are getting into a 15 or an 18 here in Scotland. Used to be a nightmare trying to get into a film underage. 
 

Maybe south london isn’t as strict for some reason. But the BBFC guidance is.

don't forget the doubters!

 

By the way, there's a very high chance (depending on if it gets IMAX screens again) that Avatar re-release second weekend will out perform the first.

I can think of 20-25% drop for now.

$19m for DWD then unless WB overestimates $20m for the headlines. They probably should, as the press will be waiting to pounce, this movie is such a tabloid target lol. 

[Valonqar]

So which of those numbers is Avatar? 4.15M?

[Valonqar]

So base don Sat numbers we can expect:

 

DWD o/u 20M (more likely 19M)

WK o/u 12M

Avatar over 10M 

 

Pretty solid all around no?

Great hold for Pearl, shame the numbers are so low. Still waiting for an international release announcement. 

[Issac Newton]

ON THE COME UP - $150K (603 theaters)

CONFESS, FLETCH - $85K / $498K (-68%)

[GOGODanca]

If Avatar can pull off a really good hold today then this re-release will already surpass the entire 2010 special edition domestic gross

[Issac Newton]

Moonage Daydream grossed an estimated $922K this weekend (from 733 locations). Estimated total domestic gross stands at $2.60M.#MoonageDaydream #BoxOffice @neonrated @MoonageMov
