UK box office breakdown Nov 6-8 2015

UK Box office:
1) Spectre - week 2 - £13.1
2) Hotel Transylvania 2 - week 4 - £1.1
3) Brooklyn - new - £1.0
4) Pan - week 4 - £0.5
5) Burnt - new - £0.4

Spectre had massive drop off at 68.8% that is much more then normal but still a strong performance. Also Hotel T is once again decreasing with a drop off at 55.1% I guess last week was due to counter programming from Spectre.
Brooklyn had a good opening I expect they are content with that but Bradley coopers Burnt on the other hand really suffered from bad reviews, once again proving star power isn't a drawing force in cinema these days. An even bigger flog was Nicholas Holt's Kill your friends coming in 11th with only £102 thousand maybe this is partly due to only being in under 200 theaters but still disappointing. And scouts guide to the zombie apocalypse I wont even grase with capital letters!

US Box Office:
1) Spectre - new - $70.4
2) The Peanuts Movie - new - $44.2
3) The Martian - week 6 - $9.1
4) Goosebumps - week 4 - $6.8
5) Bridge of Spies - week 4 - $5.8

Spectre opens respectfully with more than MI5 but less than Skyfall did in the US ($88.3). The martian holding in in week 6 is really impressive as well.

Opening this week UK:
Steve Jobs
Metacritic: 82
Rotten Tomatoes: 85%
Although it has done bad at the US box office critics love this and could be possible Oscar nomination for Fassbender. Biopic about Steve Jobs taking place behind the scenes of some of his most influential press conferences, based on Walter Issacsons's biography of the same name. Directed by Danny Boyle.


Lady In the Van
Metacritic: 69
Rotten Tomatoes: 100%
Maggie Smith is a crazy old lady in a van. So a documentary ? ...

UK Box Office breakdown Oct 30-Nov 1

UK Box office:

1. Spectre - New - £41.3
2. Hotel Transylvania 2 - week 3 - £2.4
3. Pan - week 3 - £0.8
4. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension - week 2 - £0.7
5. Suffragette - week 3 - £0.6

Spectre crushed at the box office breaking records crushing Harry Potter's £25.2m opening (the last one) for all time opening weekend and Skyfalls £21.4m, we will have to see how it does in america next week but Skyfall made $1.1 billion for total box office, Spectre could match or beat this becoming the fifth movie this year to hit $1 billion, and star wards hasn't come out yet. ( maybe mokingjay too but prob not). If a movie in the US made $410 opening weekend that would be utterly impossible, Jurassic world holds the record there at $210.
Also Hotel Transylvania has a +7% increase from last week. Thats insane most films will drop between 40-60% between weeks for at least the first 4 or 5 weeks. 

Pan coming back to third but only because nobody is seeing anything but bond.

It's worth mentioning Inside out still in the top 10 after its 15th week !

Finally UK spent more money in the cinema this week then america ! that's rare!

USA box office:

1. The Martian - week 5 - $11.7
2. Goosebumps - week 3 - $9.9
3. Bridge of Spies - week 3 - $8.4
4. Hotel Transylvania 2 - week 6 -$5.9
5. The Last Witch Hunter - week 2 - $5.2

Very low box office for America. Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse opening in 12th with only $1.8 which is dreadful and Our Brand is Crisis also tanking with $3.2. The Martian is in the number 1 for the 4th time.
