NOTE: From now on the US and UK box office prediction will be together

 

Well the prediction game didn't work out so I am trying out another idea which isn't really a game. The new releases are above and you vote in the poll for what you predict the film will open with. Posse post your answers and hopefully this creates discussion

 

US new release:

Child 44- Thriller based off a book staring Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace Only playing in 500 theatres

Monkey Kingdom- DisneyNature documentary

Paul Blart Mall Cop 2- Unnecessary sequel that no one wants

True Story- Jonah Hill/ James Franco drama Only playing in 550 theatres

Unfriended- Horror movie set on Skype

 

UK new releases:

A Little Chaos- Alan Rickman directed drama starring Kate Winslet

Child 44- Thriller based off a book staring Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace

The Town That Dreaded Sundown- Horror remake

 

My predictions:

US- Unfriended will hit big (35M), Paul Blart will bomb (13M), Monkey Kingdom will bomb (5M), child 44 (3M) and true story (1.7M) will struggle due to small release

UK- A little chaos will do solid (570k), child 44 will struggle (240k), the town that dreaded sundown will bomb (95k)

'Child 44':

US: $7.3m

UK: £890k

'Monkey Kingdom':

US: $5m >> I have NO IDEA how well or how shit these nature things do in the US. <<

---

'Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2':

US: $11m

---

'True Story': >> I had no idea this was out in the US so soon! The trailer looks quite gripping! <<

US: $3.3m

---

'Unfriended':

US: $19.3m

'A Little Chaos':

'The Town That Dreaded Sundown':

As always, I have NO IDEA. Haha.

For the UK:

 

Child 44; 500k. Don't think it'll do wildly different from John Wick last week.

A Little Chaos; 475k. By the same logic, I'm basing this on the performance of Suite Francaise :lol:

The Town That Dreaded Sundown. Very limited release, Cineworld don't even have it on at any of their London sites :thinking: 70k

ACTUALS:

 

US:

Unfriended disappointed with 15.8M :(

Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 somehow made surpassingly a lot 23.7M :o

Monkey Kingdom bombed with 4.5M

True Story was awful with 1.9M. It turned out it played in around 800 theatres instead of 550

Child 44 was a disaster with 621k :rofl:

 

UK:

Child 44 did solid with 505k

A little chaos did quite bad with 330k

The town that dreaded sundown made only 30k. However I have no clue why it was listed as wide as it only played at 15 theatres (wide releases are usually +100 theatres!)
