Solid for Tintin, could reach £20m+ with good WOM.

Sub-50% hold for PA3. Will end with a similar gross to PA1 and 2. Around £10m.

JE will top £20m. TLK has had a fantastic run.

Nice for Paranormal Activity

Solid for The Help, I went to the 8pm showing last night (tuesday) and it was sold out.

Damn, how many cinemas was Anonymous in? From what I saw Sony were marketing the shit out of it.

Solid but unimpressive number for Tintin. Let's hope legs arrive soon... But 20m is almost guaranteed, IMHO

MAJOR flop.

Anonymous £183,194, 214 cinemas, £856 average.

Has anyone read any of the 632 articles on The Guardian website that bash Tintin and Spielberg? It's almost hilarious how much they hate the film.

Not surprised at this:

Demons Never Die, 121 screens, £29,464.

Film was such a let down.

[Heretic]

So Tintin did $3.3m on the weekend. Big fall, but then again, it was a 7 day opening. Hasn't really got going in the UK, I imagine it'll finish in the $26-28m range. PIB should be bigger when it opens a couple of weeks before Christmas.

This week, Arthur Christmas opens. I could see it doing £2-2.5m for #1. Immortals will probably flop...same for The Rum Diary. Tintin will probably have a soft drop, though, AC may affect it.

I imagine BD:1 will continue the Twilight trend. Around £12-13m.

Are there any upcoming holidays in UK?

Before that?

[Heretic]

^Nope, none.

Then $30m for Tintin looks difficult.

So glad you made it here Lukey.

[Linus]

I saw excessive advertising for Tower Heist, so that seems pretty bad to me.
