A real shame about Furiosa, for a film that wasn't necessarily needed, it's actually really good, maintaining the appeals of the Mad Max franchise with brilliant performances, set pieces and script. I'm not sure what happened although the marketing did seem a bit limited and I barely knew it was coming out until last week or so, and the last film was nine years ago now, people may have forgotten the characterand it isn't technically a Mad Max film which would've been more of a draw.
Losing to yet another low effort Illumination cash grab adds insult to injury :/ |

QUOTE(Chez Wombat @ 29th May 2024, 12:58 AM)  Losing to yet another low effort Illumination cash grab adds insult to injury :/ Although it looks like the most 'Illumination' film ever, 'The Garfield Movie' actually has nothing to do with them. It was made by DNEG Animation who previously created 'Ron's Gone Wrong' and the Oscar-nominated 'Nimona'. |

31st May 2024 - 2nd June 2024
 1. (03) IF - £1,570,568 (-4%) Weeks: 3 (£9,607,001) 2. (01) The Garfield Movie - £1,349,975 (-37%) Weeks: 2 (£6,282,724) 3. (04) Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes - £1,058,441 (-33%) Weeks: 4 (£13,282,022) 4. (02) Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - £963,976 (-51%) Weeks: 2 (£4,526,161) 5. (05) The Fall Guy - £524,320 (-30%) Weeks: 5 (£11,102,408) 6. (RE) Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban - £394,066 Weeks: 1 (£394,066) 7. (NE) Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle - £270,095 Weeks: 1 (£270,095) 8. (NE) Sting - £231,113 Weeks: 1 (£231,113) 9. (06) The Strangers: Chapter 1 - £161,518 (-54%) Weeks: 3 (£1,611,971) 10. (07) Challengers - £119,967 (-42%) Weeks: 6 (£6,196,458)Falling out: Turbo (1 week) Twilight Of The Warriors: Walled In (1 week) Back To Black (7 weeks) I don't know if the movie studios were expecting to bask in the glory and success of the 2nd week of 'Garfuriosa' but there were no major releases this weekend which means that John Krasinki's 'IF' is able to climb back to gain a 2nd week at #1. Business is down a brilliant 4% weekend-to-weekend, but it was actually midweek where the film really shone. The past week has been school holidays across the UK and this week's top 2 really saw the benefit. This time last week, 'IF' had made a total of '£4,609,449' after 2 weekends but this has now ballooned to £9,607,001. It was actually pulling in more money on Thursday than it did on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Paramount's big live-action swing got off to a slow start but it has proved itself to be the kids film of choice at the start of this summer. By next weekend, it should become the 10th release to pass £10 million so far this year. 'The Garfield Movie' also saw the benefit of the school holiday and, paired with a 37% weekend drop (8% without previews), it has started to look like a respectable effort for the potentially out-of-date franchise. That $60 million budget is looking like a masterstroke from Sony. 2006's 'Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties' ended with a £6.5 million total so this may pass that today or tomorrow. A strong sign of how disappointing this summer has been so far is that the biggest new release on the weekend where June begins is the 20th anniversary re-release of Harry Potter 3. Despite being the lowest grossing of the franchise, 'The Prisoner of Azkaban' is one its best received entries, helped by the guiding of legendary Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón. The re-release opens at #6 with £394,066. In total, the film has made about £46.3 million and ranks as the 33rd biggest film of all-time in the UK. It still needs a couple of million to climb in the list which I think won't happen with this re-release ('Bridget Jones's Baby is at #32 with ~£48.2 million) but I do hope we can get an updated figure at some point. The two true new entries land at #8 and #9. Anime is having a bit of a moment and 'Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle' is the latest to make an appearance (£270,095, #8). This is a movie adaptation of a popular volleyball anime. It seems to have decent reviews so give it a go if that's your sort of thing. The last anime release to hit the UK charts was Spy x Family Code: White which made a similar amount (£280,729) back in April when it also debuted at #8. Last year saw 'Talk To Me' become a big sleeper hit for Australian directors Danny & Michael Philippou. That film opened to #5 with £643,547 last July but good word-of-mouth saw it leg out to about £2.5 million it total. It might not be as buzzy but 'Sting' is the latest Australian horror to get a release and debuts at #9 with £231,113. This is the mainstream debut for director Kiah Roache-Turner and has pretty decent reviews. It is a B-Movie focused on a massive spider taking over a flat. Sitting in bronze position this week is 'Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes'. Dropping 33%, it gets a 4th week above £1 million as it climbs up to £13,282,022. The lowest grossing Apes film in the Caesar trilogy is 2017's 'War For The Planet Of The Apes' that ended on £20.8 million so 'Kingdom' still has a way to go to catch that. 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' drops to #4 in it's 2nd week. It has a steep 51% drop and is already under £1 million for the weekend. It's total after 2 weekends is £4,526,161 which is still slightly under what 'Mad Max: Fury Road' grossed in it's opening weekend in 2015. Three further holders within the top 10. 'The Fall Guy' is a non-mover at #5 and drops 30%. It has taken advantage of the quiet release schedule and has now passed £11 million which is a lot better than it's opening weekend suggested. 'The Strangers: Chapter 1' drops to #9 in it's 3rd week. It's up to £1.6 million and should make enough this week to overtake 'Abigail' and 'Immaculate' to become the 2nd biggest horror release of 2023. 'Challengers' rounds out the top 10 with one of it's largest drops (42%). The tennis face-off has now passed £6 million in total. For a comparison that illustrates just how bad this summer box office has been, the grosses of the top 10 films this week equals £6,626,039. On this weekend last year, 'Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse' debuted at #1 with £9,159,823 while 'The Little Mermaid' dropped to #2 on it's 2nd week with £4,225,713. Two further new entries in the #11-15 section and they are both very highly rated: 'Young Woman And The Sea' (#13) and 'The Beast' (#15). We also saw the 30th anniversary re-release of 'The Crow' debut at #11. Next week sees the openings of 'Bad Boys: Ride Or Die', 'The Watched', 'Rosalie', 'A Game Of Two Halves', 'Riddle Of Fire' and 'The Dead Don't Hurt'. We also have a anniversary re-releases for 'The Matrix' and 'Pride'. Can any of them top the charts? |

Nice to see stability and the long game for ‘The Fall Guy’ here in the UK! I believe the UK is one of it’s biggest markets so it’s nice to see it isn’t a complete bomb over here.
