Happy for Sicario still doing ok at 7th. Paranormal activity did much better in the UK then in america (relative to expected). Hotel Trans holding strong at No' 1.
Opening this week:
Spectre
Metacritic - 69
Rotten Tomatoes - 78%
The new James bond film is the only film released this week and will take the no'1 spot next week. It's the last for before the rights go up for sale and the last for Daniel Craig wrapping up his era of bond.
So analysis:
US population: 318.9million
UK population: 64.1million
£1 = $1.54
therefore box office: $US => 7.66 * £UK
however I have found it is closer to 10 *£10 i guess less people on average go to the cinema in UK then america or maybe ticket prices are different.
Your guide to box office numbers:
expect around £6m for mid budget films like mission impossible and simular if a movie gets above £10 its done really great.
Your guide to metacritic and rotten tomatoes scores. Good movies are above 60 on both great movies are above 80. Metacritic lets critics score 1 to 100 however rotten tomatoes only allows critics to say weather they like or dislike it. This leads to a nice comparison between them. I find these to be the most reliable rating on the internet as only critics count and many people contribute to them. Critics are better because they dont have selection bias as they see all films and have a better base for comparison between films.
