Revenant £5.5m in UK!!! ohmy.gif

Also edited US into title as I am going to try and keep a track of posting the American box office on here smile.gif

MASSIVE numbers for 'The Revenant'! Deservedly so, too!

Posted by: Juranamo 17th January 2016, 08:33 PM

Assuming that's toppled Star Wars then (considering it was 'only' on £6m this week), 'only' 4 weeks for Star Wars; colour me shocked. ohmy.gif

I'll post this week's UK chart when it's up on bfi!

Posted by: Josh Josh Binks 19th January 2016, 08:33 PM

Shocked at Ride Along 2 opening about $6million behind the last in the US, thought their profiles had raised quite a bit since the last film. Especially due to 22 Jump Street but also Get Hard and The Wedding Ringer etc.

Fantastic opening for Room considering it opened in under 200 theatres! (Still surprised it was that little!)

Ugh at Ride Along 2 doing so well in America sad.gif

Posted by: Josh Josh Binks 20th January 2016, 05:19 PM

I think Room is expanding now in the UK at least because my local cinema are getting it on Friday which is good to see, hoping it maintains its hype right up to Oscars day.

Wow at Dark Places! ohmy.gif sad.gif Such a shame for a fairly decent film.

Expected The 5th Wave to do a little bit better than that as well.

Posted by: J▲hq 27th January 2016, 01:30 PM

From what I've read elsewhere, one cinema in Manchester was all that seemingly showed Dark Places laugh.gif Such a contrast between this and Gone Girl. Ah well, now it's had some kind of UK release I should finally get around to watching it online, no longer holding out hope of being able to see it in a cinema.

Nice to see Room remaining stable with the expanded release.

Posted by: Jack 27th January 2016, 01:43 PM

Yeah I saw it at AMC in Manchester. Like I said in another thread, it could have been promoted so much better given that it came off the back of Gone Girl and its cast. One of the most baffling releases I have ever seen actually.

Am I going blind or are there no Weekend reports for 'Star Wars'? It's not in any of the UK charts featured on IMDb or Box Office Mojo... unsure.gif

Posted by: J▲hq 3rd February 2016, 06:17 PM

That's a shame, I quite enjoyed it! I think it'll be the same case over here too, it's being released in a week with a couple of other quite hyped films and will sadly get lost in the rush. sad.gif

Posted by: Jonjo 13th February 2016, 06:01 PM

Ok. So 'Deadpool' is on track for $130m!

Wow, that's about DOUBLE what I would have expected before those preview numbers.

Posted by: Jonjo 14th February 2016, 07:44 PM

It's done about $260million WW!

Phenomenal numbers!

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 15th February 2016, 03:56 PM

Deadpool- £13.7m (£3.7m previews)
Alvin 4- £4.29m (£1.7m previews)

I know both had previews but just wow at these numbers ohmy.gif ohmy.gif

Posted by: Jonjo 15th February 2016, 03:59 PM

'Deadpool' really out performed ALL expectations. I was thinking about 10m at best! :\ That's incredible and I'm so happy it's done this well (I think it'll hold well too). I hope with this and 'Kingsman' both having success it will give way to more comic book adaptations to be rated r/15's.

Amazing results.

Posted by: •Josh• 15th February 2016, 10:19 PM

Can't believe Zoolander 2 is opening pretty much equal to the 2001 original, I thought inflation and the fact that it has become a bit of a cult classic would mean it would open way larger and be a reasonable hit. I guess Deadpool and bad reviews are only making matters wise but $60mil worldwide like the first one would look terrible.

Ouch at Pride, Prejudice & Zombies. I swear I saw so much promotion for that.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 19th February 2016, 10:02 PM

Yeah same! Shocked it did that badly, thought it would at least manage something around £1m so that really is a gigantic flop!

Posted by: •Josh• 22nd February 2016, 03:34 PM

The Finest Hours only opening in the UK with $348,000 from over 420 sites is so disappointing, I actually quite enjoyed it and thought it was very well made, shame it's not doing very well anywhere...

Deadpool comfortably holds on to #1 whilst Alvin and the Chipmunk hold steady at 2, experiencing and lower percentage drop than the former! Completely gutted at Freeheld's performance here (and in the US a few months back), it's a wonderful film and with Julianne Moore and Ellen Page starring, you'd expect more from it! Zoolander 2 tumbles this week (I loved it, personally) and How to Be Single takes this week's highest new entry.

Zootopia dethrones Deadpool after leading for the last 3 weeks, the former clearly eating into the family market, as Kung Fu Panda 3's first big competitor since its release coincides with the latter's first tumble! Not an awful lot to write home about, London Has Fallen gets a pretty average opening and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot opens poorly... The Revenant climbs following the Oscars.

Have to admit, I'm shocked at how low Grimsby entered in the US. Although it seems very relevant to us Brits, I reckon the US would struggle to relate to it maybe? Does anyone know how it compares to Sacha's other openings I the US?

It's a shame that even a well promoted and heavily hyped Horror film like 'The Boy' can't get higher than #05. The Forest, The Witch and The Other Side Of The Door all did fairly poorly as well sad.gif.

Hopefully 'Green Room' and 'The Purge: Election Year' can do a bit better in the upcoming months.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 28th March 2016, 11:48 PM

I can see The Purge (and Conjuring 2) doing pretty well and also think Lights Out might do solid business after early reactions to the trailer!

Batman v Superman did very well this weekend, same with Zootopia heart.gif Screaming at Allegiant's 2nd weekend drop in America though (just under 70%)!

The Jungle Book has opened to $103.4M in America and £9.6M in the UK ohmy.gif ohmy.gif
Absolutely terrific and shockingly big numbers ohmy.gif

Posted by: Jonjo 17th April 2016, 10:33 PM

Wow! I guess the bad weather really helped this weekend, but it's got great reviews and good word of mouth! It seems to be popular with students/adults too though. Our 10pm showing of it on Friday sold out, which is extremely rare for a kids/family movie!

EDIT: I think it also pulled in the biggest opening day sales in India too, or something!

Posted by: J▲hq 17th April 2016, 11:06 PM

I went to a lunchtime showing yesterday and the next two lined up in the same screen were already sold out, but wow that's a great number!!

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 24th April 2016, 06:07 PM

Jungle Book did £7.6m this weekend and is now over £20m, absolutely gigantic ohmy.gif Also $60M 2nd weekend in America!

Huntsman completely flopped in Amercia, debuted with $20m which is nearly 3x lower than the first one's debut and Zootopia has nearly overtaken Batman's gross in America as well *.*

Posted by: Jack 24th April 2016, 06:11 PM

I don't get why The Jungle Book is doing quite so well, it's really not as good as the reviews are making out. It's by no means a bad film, but I think it's just decent ... hence the high Rotten Tomatoes score because there isn't any real reason to give it a poor review but there's also no real reason to go crazy over it either imo.

Finding Dory has had the biggest ever midnight showings for an Animated movie in America ever with an incredible $9.2M! wub.gif

Really hope this is coming to completely smash *.*

Posted by: Jonjo 17th June 2016, 05:33 PM

Amazing news! I really thought it'd do slightly better than 'Monsters University' but not much more. I guess it helps that the reviews have been surprisingly strong overall!

'Finding Dory' makes US history with $136.2m bow!

That's the biggest domestic opening ever for an animated film; Dwayne Jonson and Kevin Hart's action comedy 'Central Intelligence' opens to a solid $34.5 million.
Good things come to those who wait — at least in the case of a forgetful blue fish named Dory.

Some 13 years after Finding Nemo first hit theaters, Pixar and Disney's sequel Finding Dory made a gigantic splash at the box office, landing the biggest domestic opening of all time for an animated title with $136.2 million from 4,305 theaters. It's also the only animated movie to crack the overall list of top 20 openings, ranking No. 18.

Finding Dory easily topped the box-office chart, while Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart's Central Intelligence did solid business in its opening, earning $34.5 million from 3,508 theaters to come in No. 2. Some rival studios have the action-comedy coming in higher, but Sunday's NBA Finals Game 7 could subdue moviegoing later on Father's Day.

Overseas, Finding Dory grossed $50 million as it rolled out in 32 percent of the marketplace for a global bow of $186.2 million, including a Pixar-best $17.5 million in China and $7.6 million in Australia.

The previous crown-holder for top animated domestic launch was DreamWorks Animation's Shrek the Third, which debuted to $121.6 million in 2007. Until now, Pixar's best was Toy Story 3 (2010) with $110.3 million.

Finding Dory — which garnered an A CinemaScore — is a needed boost for the summer box office, which has seen a number of sequels underperform. It also reminds of the power of families in driving mega openings, as well as underscoring the nostalgia for Nemo. While families made up the largest chunk of the audience (65 percent), adults turned out in force (26 percent), followed by teens (9 percent). Imax theaters, not generally a family destination, turned in $5 million domestically.

"In a funny way, the 13-year separation between the first and second movie was serendipitous," said Disney domestic distribution chief Dave Hollis. "It's part of what created a want-to-see, need-to-see movement. And it's the 17th consecutive Pixar film to receive some variation of an A CinemaScore."

Finding Dory's Friday haul of $55.2 million marked the largest single day ever for an animated film, eclipsing the record $47 million earned by Shrek the Third on its first Saturday. Finding Dory kicked things off by earning $9.2 million in Thursday-night previews, likewise a record for an animated pic, besting last year's Minions ($6.2 million).

Directed by Andrew Stanton and Angus MacLane, the follow-up sees Finding Nemo voice stars Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks returning to voice the roles of Dory and Marlin, respectively. Newcomer Hayden Rolence voices the character of Nemo.

The tale centers on Dory's attempts to reunite with her parents, whom she lost years ago. Accompanied by Nemo and Marlin, Dory arrives at a marine institute, where she engages with new friends, including a white beluga whale named Destiny (Ty Burrell), a white shark (Kaitlin Olson) and a cranky octopus (Ed O'Neill).

Not the only animation doing really good business!

QUOTE
Though it won’t be counted until next week, The Secret Life Of Pets comfortably led the UK market over Saturday and Sunday.

Universal’s latest Illumination Entertainment release scored the biggest ever Sat/Sun preview haul for an original animation with a mighty two-day total of $5.3m (£3.6m).

It not only bodes well for its official opening this Friday [June 24], but also suggests that Independence Day: Resurgence has a fight on its hands for the top spot this coming weekend.


Zootropolis 'only' did £1.3m in previews so I look forward to seeing what Secret Life of Pets manages over the next few weeks.

Posted by: Jonjo 21st June 2016, 02:41 PM

Wasn't the weather warmer for 'Zootropolis'/no rain? But not surprised tbh. People have been anticipating it for a while!

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 10th July 2016, 04:07 PM

Secret Life Of Pets has opened to $103M in America *.* Biggest ever opening for a non sequel/franchise based animated property (maybe even has the record for non-animated as well!) cheer.gif
