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 (-36%) 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 (-31%) 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 (-43%) 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 36% 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 31%. 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 (43%). 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.

(10) Challengers - £72,128 (-40%) Weeks: 7 (£6,357,927) 10. (09) The Strangers: Chapter 1 - £69,584 (-57%) Weeks: 3 (£1,772,602)Falling out: Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban (20th Anniversary) (1 week) Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle (1 week) Sting (1 week) One of the last big hits before the Covid pandemic was 2020's 'Bad Boys For Life', the legacy sequel to Michael Bay's iconic buddy-actioners, shocked and performed way over expectations. Fast forward to 2024 and people have now been pinning their hopes on the franchise's forth entry 'Bad Boys: Ride Or Die' to save the summer. And it's kinda worked. Opening with £3,873,553, it is officially the highest weekend gross for any film since last march when both 'Kung Fu Panda 4' and 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' both opened to higher figures. It's also technically a slight improvement on the numbers for 2020's 'Bad Boys For Life' which opened with £3,781,233. However, 'Ride Or Die' did get a jump on competition and opened on a Wednesday which makes this figure a 5-day total. If we just take in consideration the weekend gross, it would have made £2.9 million. Belgian directing duo Adil & Bilall are back for this film after previously receiving their big mainstream break with the last film. Since then, they have directed two episodes of 'Ms. Marvel' but are perhaps most infamous for being the directors of the fully made and scraped 'Batgirl' that caused huge controversy a couple of years back. The film only had a $100 million budget which is another shrewd decision from Sony and should see this become another hit. 'For Life' ended up grossing £16.2 million. Let's see how this one holds up in a quiet summer release schedule. Another week and there's another horror film underperforming, but the twist this time is that it comes from first-time director 'Ishana Night Shyamalan', daughter of 'M. Night Shyamalan'. Set in Ireland, the film stars Dakota Fanning as an American immigrant who gets trapped in a forest being observed by an unknown threat called 'the watchers'. Like many a Shyamalan tale, it hasn't received good reviews and I don't think this one will be hanging around for long. M Night also has a film coming out this summer, it's going to be interesting to see how that one performs in comparison. The third and final new entry in this week's top 10 is 'The Dead Don't Hurt' (#8, £111,827). This is the 2nd time in the directing chair for Oscar-nominated actor Viggo Mortensen after 2020's dementia-drama 'Falling'. That film could only open with £1,913 (#47) so this is a marked improvement. Also starring Vicky Krieps, this is a western that focuses on a female perspective and has gained strong reviews. An interesting fact about both of Mortensen's films: he has ended up starring in both after being adamant that he wouldn't. He ended up taking the lead in 'Falling' as it was the only way he could get it financed and had to act in 'The Dead Don't Hurt' after the original actor dropped out at the last minute. Outside of 'Bad Boys', it's another pretty grim weekend at the UK box office. No other film could pass the £1 million mark and a sub £70k gross making the top 10 is pathetic at any time of the year, especially so in summer box office season. The kids films still seem to the best performing of a bad bunch with 'IF' passing the £10 million mark with a 45% drop and 'The Garfield Movie' having a similar drop as it tries to reach double-figures. Other than that, there's not really much to add from last week for any of the holdovers. The biggest story is that 'The Strangers: Chapter 1' has now passed 'Immaculate' and 'Abigail' to be the 2nd biggest horror release of 2023. However, I don't think it has enough in the tank to reach 'Imaginary' which is at just under £2 million from the last update I found. The only new entries in the #11-15 section are both re-releases: 'The Matrix' (#13) and 'The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring' (#14). Next week sees the openings of 'Inside Out 2', 'Sasquatch Sunset', 'Unsung Hero', 'Freud's Last Session', and 'Arcadian'. We also have a anniversary re-releases for 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and 'Star Trek III: The Search For Spock'. Can any of them top the charts?

14th June 2024 - 16th June 2024
1. (NE) Inside Out 2 - £11,321,387 Weeks: 1 (£11,321,387) 2. (01) Bad Boys: Ride Or Die - £1,857,673 (-52%) Weeks: 2 (£7,139,324) 3. (02) IF - £414,672 (-52%) Weeks: 5 (£11,456,782) 4.

(NE) Wilding - £127,190 Weeks: 1 (£127,190) 10. (NE) Freud's Last Session - £72,988 Weeks: 1 (£72,988)Falling out: The Dead Don't Hurt (1 week) Challengers (7 weeks) The Strangers: Chapter 1 (3 weeks) It’s been a rough summer at the box office but we’ve finally got the success story we’ve desperately been searching for. ‘Inside Out 2’ blew past all expectations to open to £11,321,387. This has overtaken ‘Dune: Part Two’ for the biggest opening of 2024 (£9,279,080), a record that film has held since March. In fact, it is the biggest opening weekend for any film since ‘Barbie’ debuted with an insane £18,509,236 all the way back 11 months ago in last July. In a year where everything has really struggled to breakthrough, one genre that has seen success is animation and that has continued with ‘Inside Out 2’ actually gaining the 3rd highest ever opening for an animated release. The only animated films to open higher are another set of Pixar sequels: ‘Toy Story 3’ (£21,187,264) and ‘Toy Story 4’ (£13,300,000). Disney became the laughing stock of the industry in 2023 with some of the largest flops of all-time (‘The Marvels’, ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’, ‘Wish’) but with this opening and the early estimates for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’, they could be straight back on top and the envy of all other studios again. It has also been a bad few years for Pixar with all their recent releases opening low or going straight to Disney+, so everyone will be breathing a sigh of relief over there. In the US, ‘Inside Out 2’ has also been breaking records left-and-right. It was predicted to open with $90 million but ended up with a $155 million debut to become the 2nd biggest animated opening of all-time in the region, behind 2018’s ‘Incredibles 2’ ($182.7 million). The original ‘Inside Out’ debuted at #1 with £7,376,513 on its way to a £38.7 million total. Two other films debut in the top 10 this week, both at the bottom end of the chart. Opening at #9 with the best opening of the year for a documentary is ‘Wilding’. The film is about a 5-and-a-half mile estate with a farm which was allowed to run wild and saw the rebirth of species of animals and plants that are virtually extinct across the rest of the world. Unfortunately, in a good recovery weekend for the box-office, we do have one sub-£100k grosser in the top 10 which is the debut of ‘Freud’s Last Session’ (£72,988, #10). This is an adaptation of a play of the same name that imagines what the conversation could have been between noted Christian author C.S. Lewis (Narnia) and legendary psychologist and atheist Sigmund Freud. The film hasn’t got great reviews but Anthony Hopkins stars as Freud giving it some class. Lewis is portrayed by Matthew Goode. With it having large preview numbers after opening on a Wednesday and a big film releasing this week, I thought that ‘Bad Boys: Ride Or Die’ might completely fall away this weekend. And while 52% is a fairly steep drop, I think this is a great result for the buddy-actioner. That figure actually drops to 34% when you take out previews as it bags another £1,857,673 over the weekend. It’s up to £7,139,324 which is only about £1.7 million less than ‘Bad Boys II’ finished with in 2003. It’s still only halfway to the total for ‘Bad Boys For Life’. With ‘Inside Out 2’ dominating so much, the other kids films in the chart both take similar sturdy drops. ‘IF’ continues to impress, dropping to 3rd on it’s 5th week with a 52% drop in business while ‘The Garfield Movie’ drops to 5th on it’s 4th week with a 51% drop. Despite having some children appeal, ‘Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes’ is obviously doing well at targeting a different audience as it only drops 37% while remaining at #4. ‘The Watched’ only drops one place on it’s 2nd week (#6 to #7) as it drops 54% in business. That’s not too bad for a horror and is probably being helped by being the only film of that genre in the top 15. It’s now up to £808k so should easily pass £1 million pretty soon. The last remaining 2 films in the top 10 both have similar drops: ‘Furiosa’ (-46%) and ‘The Fall Guy’ (-44%). ‘Furiosa’ has now passed £6 million but is still more than £10 million behind the final total for ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’. ‘The Fall Guy’ is now just short of £12 million. The only new entries in the #11-15 section are both Indian: ‘Maharaja’ (#13) and Chandu Champion (#14). While we also see re-releases of ‘Star Trek III: The Search For Spock’ (#11), ‘The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring’ (#12) and ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ (#15). Next week sees the openings of ‘The Bikeriders, ‘The Exorcism’, ‘Ghost: Rite Here Rite Now’, and ‘Something In The Water’. We also have a re-releases for Hereditary' and ‘Midsommar'.
