‘Suffragette’ Rocks The UK Vote With $2.16M In Previews
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.
