Posted April 30, 201510 yr Up next is the film that has been topping the "BuzzJack Hype Chart" for a while now and it's, of course 'PITCH PERFECT 2'! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3f/Pitch_Perfect_2_poster.jpg 6bh4mvJ5jUg How do we think this one will do on it's opening weekend? A few things you may need to consider before predicting... - The first film in the franchise opened to £947,058 in the UK and $5,149,433 in the US. - It was a BIG sleeper hit as (despite it's relatively weak openings) it has gone on to gross well over $110m WW! - It seems to have a big cult following. - Whenever they've released a trailer for the film, it's gone on to be a big Social Networking trend! Will all of this translate into a big second film for them? Or are we expecting it to flop on it's behind?
April 30, 201510 yr Author I am going to predict big and go for... Around $27.3m for the US and around £2.8m for the UK! It would not surprise me if they actually did a lot more though!
April 30, 201510 yr Don't want to over-estimate this based on Buzzjack hype and how much of a success 'Cups' was in the US (although it was a big thing on social media in the UK too!), but I think it can clear the £4m mark in the UK, something like £4.2m. And $25m in the US.
May 2, 201510 yr US | $27.5M UK | £2.1M Something tells me it won't have a HUGE opening in the UK, I would like it to though... Edited May 2, 201510 yr by Juranamo
May 2, 201510 yr Author That is huge for a film like this! A big hit for a film that's not a blockbuster ('Avengers'/'Fast & Furious'/'Harry Potter' etc..) usually ranges from £2m - £4m!
May 3, 201510 yr I think it will do really well first weekend but drop off really quickly due to shit reviews ala 50 Shades Of Grey. I dunno why, I just have a feeling it'll be shit but I am hoping to be proved wrong.
May 10, 201510 yr This has smashed in Australia- $7.6M which is a 348% increase from the first movie Changing my predictions to: UK: £4.20M US: $48.4M
May 10, 201510 yr Author Can you change my US prediction to $40m+ please (I predicted $25m - $29.99m)? I'm going to keep my UK prediction of £2.8m!
May 10, 201510 yr Can you change my US prediction to $40m+ please (I predicted $25m - $29.99m)? I'm going to keep my UK prediction of £2.8m! Done :heart:
May 16, 201510 yr And $25m in the US. US | $27.5M ~$28m US WD on getting the opening day prediction right :cheer: Opening day is $27,000,000 leading to a weekend probably at least +$60M :o Fantastic opening :cheer:
May 16, 201510 yr Author $60m+ is absolutely INSANE! :o (A good $20m+ above 'Mad Max' and 3rd week 'Avengers'!)
May 22, 201510 yr Author Official figures: UK: £4m+ (£5m to be exact) US: $40m+ ($70.3m to be exact) Astounding all round! :o
