Opening Weekend Review 

Spectre had a good news, bad news weekend this time out. The bad news is that the 007 movie plunged 75% in its second weekend in China, earning $12.2 million and bringing its total there to $77.8m. Now that’s already over the $61m that Skyfall  earned in China last time out, but it means that the 007 adventure won’t be on the Chinese market for long.But, the good news is that it made $65m overseas in total this weekend, meaning the MGM/Sony/Eon Productions release is doing pretty okay, with (among other things) a $50m total in Germany and $130.5m in the United Kingdom. It has already earned $524.1m overseas thus far, or almost as much as Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace made total.

EXCLUSIVE: Details revealed about Ruby Films drama due to shoot February; project moves from Focus.

Pathe has newly boarded Suffragette, the Film4 and BFI-backed Ruby Films drama, which will star Carey Mulligan.Pathe will distribute the film in the UK and France and will handle international sales.The film will be directed by Sarah Gavron (Brick Lane) from a script by Abi Morgan, who won an Emmy last month for her work on BBC drama series The Hour.Morgan, who co-wrote sex addict drama Shame with Steve McQueen, previously collaborated with Pathe on Margaret Thatcher biopic The Iron Lady and co-wrote the screenplay for Gavron’s Brick Lane.

Pathe swooped this week on Suffragette, previously known as The Fury, which was with Focus Features until the recent shakeup at the Universal subsidiary.Sources close to Focus told ScreenDaily that the outfit were big fans of the project but timing meant they could no longer be involved.Mulligan will play Maud, a character described by the production as a “foot soldier of the early feminist movement” who becomes radicalized and turns to violence as a route to change.According to the production, the film “tracks the story of the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement, women who were forced underground to pursue a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an increasingly brutal State.

“These women were not primarily from the genteel educated classes, they were working women who had seen peaceful protest achieve nothing.  Radicalized and turning to violence as the only route to change, they were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality - their jobs, their homes, their children and their lives. 

“Maud was one such foot soldier.  Her fight for dignity is as gripping and visceral as any thriller, it is also heart-breaking and inspirational.” Mulligan, the British actress who has taken starring roles in The Great Gatsby, Inside Llewyn Davis, Drive andShame, was Oscar-nominated for her performance in An Education.

Suffragette will be produced by Faye Ward and Alison Owen (Brick Lane, Jane Eyre, Saving Mr Banks) and executive produced by Film4’s Katherine Butler and Pathe’s Cameron McCracken. Chris Collins is lead exec for the BFI Film Fund

Meryl Streep's Suffragette Drama

Will Be First To Film In Houses Of

Parliament

The historical drama Suffragette just got a huge boost to its production value thanks the United Kingdom's Houses of Parliament. British Parliament members have made the unprecedented decision to allow the Meryl Streep-boasting narrative to shoot on its hallowed and instantly recognizable grounds, meaning Suffragette will be the first film production to have ever shot there. Suffragette focuses on the burgeoning feminist moment of the early 20th Century. We first caught word of the project last month when 18-time Academy Award nominee Meryl Streep joined the project along with acclaimed Irish actor Brendon Gleeson. But as Wootton alludes above, these are not the only exciting talent attached to the project. The cast also includes such noteworthy British performers as Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, and Ben Whishaw. Behind the camera, there's some stellar talent as well.

The Sarah Gavron-helmed Suffragette opened the London Film Festival last week in its European premiere after bowing at Telluride in early September. On Monday, it started previews in the UK with numbers that just keep going up. Pathé UK has the timely period drama locally, which is being distributed by Fox under their pact (Focus releases Stateside on October 23). After four days at the polls, UK moviegoers have spent $2.16M through Thursday. Not only that, but playing on 490 screens, Suffragette jumped in the mid-week from $423K on Monday, to $562K on Tuesday and $600K on Wednesday. Going into the weekend, it’s running No. 2 behind The Martian and coming off the strong early days, Pathé is feeling pretty upbeat.
