Diary of a Wimpy Kid does extremely well here :o 2nd Trend has it at 25k, down only 14%!!! Can't understand that...

 

WW drop is >40% now :( 125k... But that seems to be the average drop this weekend (beside the one above...) so still OK I think, as long as it doesn't drop further as the weekend goes...

I think Wimpy Kid is benefiting from a dearth of family stuff that's out right now. Bodes very well for DM3, I think.

2nd estimate ... T5 still at 375k, but as expected WW is lower and Baywatch a bit higher now, by Sunday they'll probably have switched places.

Why do people like stupid Baywatch there? That doesn't make any sense at all. I haven't heard any good things about the movie. Although I heard it's better than Chips, it's still one of the worst movies of the year.

Germans tend to like this sort of comedy (Bad Neighbours did great here too with about 1,7M admissions...) Comedy seems to be peoples favorite Genre here... :)

Must be because baywatch was a bigger deal there than most market with a German actor being the star of the show.

Reading this made me remember how big Hasselhoff was in Germany - they bought his albums & he sang when the wall came down - they were crazy for him.

One of my friends used to call him David Dusseldorf because he thought David was from Germany...

German actor?

 

Well  German, Irish and English descent, it could be just from joke from some comedy but I thought Hasselhoff was a really big deal in Germany. From wiki

 

German/Austrian popularity[edit]

While his star status waxed and waned in the USA, his popularity endured longer in Germany to the end of the 1980s. In 1989, David trained with Patsy Swayze at Debbie Reynolds' Studio in North Hollywood for the Austrian segment of his Knight Rider tour.

 

His music career took off in the late 1980s and achieved success at the tops of the charts, with his album "Looking for Freedom" which went triple platinum in Europe. He had one #1 hit in the German pop charts in 1989 ("Looking for Freedom").[58] He was noted for his performance of the single at the Berlin Wall on New Year's Eve 1989, days after the collapse of the wall. Wearing a piano-keyboard tie and a leather jacket covered in motion lights, Hasselhoff stood in a bucket crane and performed the song along with the crowd. The performance has had a lasting impact on German pop-culture with Hasselhoff commenting that the song became an "anthem" and "song of hope" for the people of East Germany. In 2004, Hasselhoff lamented the lack of a photo of him in the Checkpoint Charlie Museum in Berlin

#1 Transformers 5 350k/370k
#2 Baywatch 122.5k/1.415M
#3 WW 112.5k/415k

Summer in Germany - once more you didn't even need 20.000 admissions for the Top 10 … the one movie that should have saved the weekend, Transformers 5, suffered from a heavy case of franchise fatigue syndrome but managed to hit the other action oriented movies. Overall, holds were not too bad, some family releases even had a slight increase!

 

Next weekend: Rather empty slot; the biggest releases will be two smaller comedies, Rough Night and domestic Sommerfest. Since Snatched went widely ignored, there's room enough in the comedy market, AND weather should be movie-friendly over most of the weekend, so both have good potential - 150 oder maybe 200k admissions are possible. #1 for the weekend should be T5 again, despite the poor start. And with no new releases, the family market should see good holds and even increases once more.

Wow, the Boss Baby could have a real chance at 2M, who would have thought! The following weekend will judge. Hopefully this the time weather will be really worse... :)

yep, with rainy weather and (nearly) no new competition, it might well go up to 20k admissions ... ok, that's a best-case scenario but at least it should stay flat again!

Some Thursday estimates from insidekino.de/forum:

 

New Releases:
 

Girls Night Out: 16k (released in 460 theaters, very mixed reviews between 2 and 7/10 – here again I wonder if the reviewers saw the same film: Some call it lame, unwitty, cribbed and without momentum, some others comment the warmth and humour...)
Overdrive: 2k (230, mediocre reviews)
Sommerfest: 2k (150, mediocre reviews)
The Beguiled (2017): 1.5k (115, pretty good reviews)
Axolotl Overkill: ?k (65, very mixed reviews between 2.5 and 8/10, but mostly they're good)

Holdovers:

Transformers 5: 21k (last Thursday actuals 50k, the drop looks much harsher today than it will be over the whole weekend)
Baywatch: 13.5k (13k)
Wonder Woman: 12k (15.5k)
PotC 5: 11.5k (10k)
The Mummy: 6.5k (7k)
Un profil pour deux: 3.5k

 

So far the new releases are a bit muted but nice holds! IndustriousAngel already mentioned it on Tuesday and Mark_G from insidekino.de said yesterday in his weekend forecast that he too expects beautiful holds: Only 20-25% minus for TF5 and The Mummy, flat for PotC5, Wonder Woman and Baywatch and even strong increases for some family films like The Boss Baby and Bob the Builder.

PS: PotC 4 is on TV Saturday (prime time) on a big TV-station. As we know the fourth is not the most popular part of the series but still that might bring some viewers to the consideration to finally watch the 5th in theaters ;).

Finally some good news ... nice!

 

(speaking from the theater side ... personally, I have zero interest in most of the releases and think it's high time for some of those franchises to die a cruel death B) )

Probably they will ;). 


And some Thursday actuals (source Blickpunkt:Film):

New Releases:
 

Girls Night Out: 18k
Overdrive: 2.6k → 20k OW estimated in the first trend
Sommerfest: 3k → 30k OW
The Beguiled (2017): 3.5k → 27.5k OW

Holdovers:

Transformers 5: 35k (50k last Thursday) – all films were underestimated yesterday but not that much!
Baywatch: 19k (13k)
Wonder Woman: 16.2k (15.5k)
PotC 5: 14k (10k)
