The industry boffins operate with the following ratios: weekend dates generate, on average, 4.3 times the revenue of a non-weekend date. For purposes of this discussion, the weekend consists of Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

That means that on the 4 days Mon to Thur it brought in only slightly less when it should have brought in a quarter to a third of its weekend revenue. If the numbers for Spain are also correct, it means the film generated MORE ticket sales during the week than at the weekend.

Interesting, does this take into account offers such as Cheap Tuesdays and Orange Wednesdays? Might also show the effect the word of mouth is having, it's taken a week for the initial batch of viewers to pass the message on and for the second batch to start arriving.

The difference is the weather, I guess. Here's hoping for a weekend take equal to (or whisper it) more than last weekends... Going by the buzz on Twitter you think dredd is making Avatar money.

I suppose the weather doesn't really explain the low takings in Spain though....

Hmm.

Thanks ChufsterUK, that's really encouraging. Maybe it will have a bigger 2nd weekend then, and if the word of mouth is working here then hopefully thanks to the internet some of that buzz will spread to the US opening weekend (I've been sure to post my ravings about it on american sites talking about it).

We could well have a, (predicted by some), genuine `sleeper`on our hands.

It took me a couple of days but I finally managed to spot a cinema showing Dredd in Madrid - I imagine 'Salon 7' is their best screen. Alas it was shut when I found it but I'm sure the amigos were lapping it up. On a positive note the 'Looky Looky' men had several new releases but no 'Dredd' - he is the law after all.

I know it's not cast in stone , but assuming that there will be a sequel , how soon do you reckon it will be announced? Will it be not even mentioned for at least a year or will they strike as soon as the box office numbers come pouring in?

I'm announcing it, unofficially, right now. That means they have to do it, it's been announced now.

The site will be taken down.

I predict a Kick-ass 2 scenario where it doesn't get announced for like a year. But I firmly believe a sequel will happen, Lionsgate made sequels to Punisher and Silent Hill for grud's sake!

[strontium71]

Would Urban and Furby have signed on for at least 2 films? Is that standard practice so they're committed in case of a sequel?

True, Punisher was deemed a flop and got a sequel purely based on dvd/blu-ray numbers supposedly.

I know it's childish but I did laugh when I saw "ejecutor". 

We'll know Dredd's a success when there's a puntastic porno cash-in.
