With the exception of Toy Story 4, but as mentioned, somehow this franchise never made it big in German-speaking markets, and with strong in-house comptetition it never stood a chance - Lion King otoh is doing great and will blow past the 5mil mark. Once Upon a Time … has a (slim) chance at 2mil total, it seemed to generate very good WOM. Leberkäsjunkie still strong, about 180k ahead of last year's release in the franchise at the same point which means 1mil total is nearly locked and it has a good chance at becoming the highest-grossing entry in the series. Next weekend: Crawl, Good Boys, Gloria Bell, Stuber, Aardvark, some local releases - a lot of interesting stuff but nothing to dethrone OuaTiH as the leader I'd say except a stellar hold from LionKing. Good Boys might make the Top3.

8/10, A- thoroughly entertaining, you never feel bored despite the long running time. and there's LOTS of fun, especially if you're a bit into older movies. overall, very lighthearted despite the fact that there's some serious themes hiding in the background.

Easy one, talking animals instead of toys.

It's a Mouse world ...

First estimates from insidekino.de #1: UoaTiH - 470k #2: LionKing - 300k (-26%) #3: ToyStory4 - 225k #4/5: Lerberkäs/H&S with 150k each (that would be a 47% drop for the action and only an 8% drop for the crime comedy)

Thursday was a holiday in some regions, especially Bavaria, which would inflate Lerberkäsjunkie a lot I guess

at my theater the Toys are definitely behind the Lions in their 5th weekend ... this is on the lower end of my (already low) expectations. OuaTiH is winning the weekend with ease.

Lion King will pass 4mil this week and will likely pass 5mil, too. Good numbers also from Pets2 and Leberkäsjunkie which should reach 1mil total. I did a small chart with those Rita Falk adaptions; the series is showing a strange trend - from part 1 to 3, openings got bigger but the multiplier dropped, as is usual with franchises. But 4 and 5 reversed the trend and got better multipliers again (despite bigger openings)! So I'm curious where the 6th one is headed, a multiplier of only 4,95 is needed to beat the last one; a multi of 6 would carry it to >1,2mil: title OW total mult.

Another wide start: Toy Story 4 - also a contender for #1 but the franchise was never that big in Germany and there's strong inhouse competition in the family segment.

preliminary weekend numbers have KionKing at >400k! must have been a better-than-expected Sunday

Pets2 had a <200k OW ... lots of potential viewers missed it the first weekends, so it took some time to build WOM.

First estimates from insidekino.de : #1: LionKing - 375k (-34%) #2: H&S - 240k (-51%) #3: Leberkäs - 150k (-26%) #4: Pets2 - 95k (-19%) Impressed by Pets2 which - after a really disappointing opening - found its stride and stands its ground against the Lion King!

Good news from Austria - July was stronger than the last 6 Julys; even if it was a 5-weekend-July those are really good numbers, led by LionKing (which should continue strong into August) and followed by Pets2 and Spidey.

Lion King passed 3mil total (in Austria already >500k), Leberkäsjunkie continues the upwards trend for the franchise and Hobbs&Shaw did good, too. Next weekend: No openers worth mentioning.

This was really an extremely good weekend! And even better in Austria for the Top3 ...

First weekend estimates from insidekino.de: #1/2: Lion / H&S 450k each #3: Leberkäs - 175k #4: Pets2 - 100k #5: Benjamin - 90k This is excellent for the family releases (didn't think BenjaminBlümchen would open that high, >1mil very much in play, and sub30% drop for LionKing as well as Pets2). H&S good opening; also good for Leberkäsjunkie (a bit up from last year's Sauerkrautkoma if true) - so overall a very satisfying weekend!
