for some movies presales don't tell that much ... at my theater presales were extremely poor but in fact the midnight shows were at about 50% in the end. As a rule of thumb - the older the audience, the more presales.

7/10, B+

The openers stayed on the lower end of expectations (in First Man's case, even below …) Next weekend: With the 2nd Fantastic Beasts movie, plus a few strong holdovers, a nice weekend is coming - even if presales are not looking that good, it should top the weekend with ease; about 800k admissions are expected. And Rhapsody should see a good hold once more!

at my theater, midnights about 5% sold ...

haven't looked at presales, just took the opening of part1 and went a little lower as was the case with the HP franchise

an opening in the 800k region

final estimates a bit lower, still a good weekend

First estimates from insidekino.de: #1: BR - 300k (-25%) #2: Nut - 160k (-38%, ouch) #3: 25km/k - 150k (-11%, sweet) #4 Simple Favor with 140k incl. Wed, not too good

OK, if I was thinking First Man might make it into the Top3, that was probably wishful thinking ... the way it's preselling it will be tough to reach 100k OW.

Austria's October numbers are complete and while not the lowest in recent history, it's been pretty bad once more. Among the last 10 years, there were 7 better Octobers ... not a surprise, of course, and we're more than 10% down from last year 😟; very similar to the German market. At least Bohemian Rhapsody did ok, nearly 50k admissions in only 3 days, so let's hope for a better November.

Of course the near-holiday-situation helped a lot but still … Next weekend: First Man and A Simple Favor (both possibly in the Top3) and some smaller releases like Overlord or Rememory or Rampant … but frankly, anything other than Bohemian Rhapsody on top again would be a big surprise!

that's excellent for 25km/h; I didn't have that one on my list probably because it didn't have a regular start here in Austria; first shows at my theater are this Sunday.

First weekend estimates from insidekino.de: #1: BR - 450k incl. Wed #2: Halloween - 250k (-24%) #3: Nut - 225k (surprise after the low buzz) #4: JE3 - 150k (-22%) #5: Vorname - 140k (-6%, verrry nice) #6: Inc2 - 110k (-26%)

Of course Fri is an official workday but many schools and offices have decided to make it a long weekend so it's kind of an inoffical holiday this year

well, since Friday is a holiday for many people, numbers are not really comparable to last week's, but those are some sweet holds anyway. And the number for Bohemian Rhapsody is great!!! As expected, a lot of attractive releases plus cool weather gives us a satisfying weekend!
