(NE) Freud's Last Session - £72,989 Weeks: 1 (£72,989) 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’ (£72,989, #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 £7,139,325 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 38% 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'. Can any of them top the charts? 21st Century Pixar Openings: Monsters, Inc.

Serbia v England
Nah, winning is much more importance than the performance in tournament football. Many a team have won these competitions without ever looking that great (Portugal in 2016 being a very dramatic example). Croatia have penalty-shooted themselves to a World Cup final and semi-final: However, the performances recently are a bit of a worry. The Bosnia game was ok but England haven’t really put in a decent performance since they beat Italy in October We look incapable of controlling matches and dominating the midfield. Dare I say we miss really miss having Phillips or Henderson in there? I do like what Alexander-Arnold brings in there but I think it might be worth starting Wharton against Denmark to try to ensure we get some possession.

Serbia v England
Serbia haven’t lived up to their talent in recent times but they’re still a threat. That front two has a lot of potential to hurt us. Come on England!!!
-
Group D
I can’t see Netherlands going too far. They have great options off the bench especially but with the 2 midfield injuries they look a little too light there. I think Austria will beat them to 2nd but they’ll probably get through as one of the best third place sides.

Group C
Denmark haven’t really put in a decent performance since the last World Cup qualifying campaign. Watch them re-find their form for Thursday :lol:

EURO 2024 | General Discussion & Collation Thread
Andros Townsend surely wasn’t. He would have been 14 years old! :lol: I wonder what happened to Andy Townsend anyway. I haven’t heard of him in ages. I prefer Andros’s commentary anyway so it’s no great loss.

Group B
Spain looked good but I felt a 3-0 win was a big harsh on Croatia. In an attacking sense, Croatia looked alright but they look a lot less assured in the defence as they usually do so I think Modric's international career might just whimper out unfortunately. The pundits discussion around Spain's defence was ridiculous. They were acting like they were playing a bunch of nobodies and not the captain and a goalscorer from the team that just won the Champions League final! They were making out like Cucurella was some huge weak link that makes it impossible for them to win the Euros. They have a better defence than us! I'd feel more comfortable with Cucurella at LB than Guehi at CB. I thought Albania gave a good account of themselves. Italy looked miles off it. But, to be fair, they didn't really put in any good performances in the knock-outs at the last Euros and they still won it :lol:
-
Group A
Germany looked really good on Friday night. They've managed to turn it around quickly after the Flick era and the start of Nagelsmann's reign was such a disaster. Scotland have been awful since they've qualified and Friday night topped it off. I'm struggling to see them getting anything from this tournament now. Switzerland were brilliant in that first half yesterday. 2nd half not so much but still a big improvement from what they looked like in qualifying. Hungary have been the biggest disappointments so far for me.
