![]() But it’s fair to say that few in the UK film industry thought Brotherhood would come close to the Adulthood result, and Lionsgate – and Clarke – will be amply delighted with this outcome. Nitpickers may point to the fact that Brotherhood’s three-day number is below Adulthood’s £1.20m debut, and of course ticket price inflation favours the new film. In fact, Brotherhood’s weekend site average of £4,581 is the highest of any film on release. Given a release in just 220 cinemas – less than half of the number for all its close competitors – that translates into a very robust site average, even if the film’s preview takings are excluded from the calculation. It then took a further £1.01m over the official weekend period, for a seven-day opening tally of £1.98m. Distributors were hardly running at Clarke waving chequebooks, and the film-maker received only a couple of viable bids for financing, eventually choosing Lionsgate.īrotherhood began its preview run in the UK on bank holiday Monday last week, grossing £971,000 in its first four days. So despite the return of Clarke to the genre, with his new film Brotherhood – the final part, he says, of his “hood” trilogy – this latest instalment hardly represented a commercial slam-dunk.
