• Charles Gant adds: This is my last UK box office report for the Guardian after an epic 10-year run.
At Eternity’s Gate grossed £56,300 from 34 cinemas (£58,800 including previews), while Out of Blue took £40,100 from 46 cinemas (£70,000 including previews).
Still, not all Disney properties are created equal, and Dumbo was never on track to match these numbers.
The distribution arms of two of the UK’s most respected arthouse cinema brands went head-to-head with the release of Picturehouse Entertainment’s Out of Blue and Curzon Artificial Eye’s At Eternity’s Gate.
