FURIOUS 6 maintains lead as HANGOVER III Opens Big!

3 Jun 2013

SINGAPORE - FAST & FURIOUS 6 maintains its lead over new arrivals, including THE HANGOVER PART III which scores one of the biggest openings for a M18 rated film.

FURIOUS 6 dips an understandable 59.7% and adds another US$927,441 which totals up to US$3,933,147 so far. It's already outgrossed FAST & FURIOUS 5 (US$3,514,117) to become the top film in the lucrative franchise and is currently the 4th highest grossing film of 2013.

FURIOUS 6 is now on course to finish with US$4.6m-US$5.5m - much lower than the US$6m projected last week but still fantastic numbers overall for a film released without any 3D or IMAX screens.

THE HANGOVER PART III has the week's highest screen average and is one of the biggest M18 rated opening film ever. The Wolfpack finale grossed US$872,987 from 65 screens for a magnificent US$25,676 screen average. Only IMMORTALS (2009) started slightly higher with US$874,210.

THE HANGOVER PART II grossed US$1,756,482 two years ago while the original flick collected US$935,655 in 2009. The finale is likely to finish in the range of US$2.1m-US$2.3m, which is similar to last year's TED, also an adult comedy which opened with US$844,868 and finished with US$2,061,227.

EPIC, the latest animated fantasy adventure from the creators of ICE AGE takes off with US$525,959 and a decent US$12,523 screen average from 42 screens, including 3D. Look for a finish in the range of US$1.1-US$1.9m.

The latest live action blockbuster getting the 3D re-release treatment, JURASSIC PARK 3D opens on 12 screens for a US$79,225 total to date (including two IMAX 3D screens). The original film grossed around US$2.89m (S$4.7m) in 1993.

Other debuts include the Colin Farell thriller DEAD MAN DOWN with US$47,845 from 10 screens and the latest screen adaptation of GREAT EXPECTATIONS with U$17,037 from 4 screens.

Overall, the top ten films grossed US$2,774,935, down 21% from last week but up 4.91% from a year ago when SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN was no.1 at the box office.
