no idea, the earliest show at my theater is tomorrow (Friday) but that's Austria.

now that the sing-a-long version is out, it will JUMP that mark

Other interesting releases are domestic horse-girl book adaption Immenhof – should land in the 100k ballpark – romcom Manhattan Queen, and Mary Queen of Scots.With some very leggy releases like this weekend’s top 3, we should see a sizeable overall increase!

better than estimates, nice!

The way it's dropping, it won't crawl across 3mil but pass that mark with ease

first weekend estimates from insidekino.de: #1: DJmadfL - 350k (-22%) #2: Aquaman - 160k (-45%) #3: RobinHood - 130k (ok) #4: BR - 100k (-4%, wow)

in other news, Austria's December numbers are final and it was one of the worst in recent history (2007 was lower) which makes the 4th quarter the worst one in recent history, as was the whole year 2018. We were down: -13% from 2017 -16% from 2016 and -22% from 2015 ... while we could say that it can only go upwards from here (and there is some more blockbuster potential) the industry stays strangely quiet - no alarm bells ringing, no big push for wider audiences - it seems as if everybody has decided simply to let the cinemas die slowly.

(In Austria, business was not bad but "Der Junge …" doesn't work here at all so overall a lot weaker). Next weekend: Der Junge muss an die frische Luft should stay safely on top but there are two releases aiming for >100k admissions - domestic thriller comedy Kalte Füße (I liked the trailer, would be nice if this could break out) and the lamtest Robin Hood - let's see if one of them can reach #2.

BR has a realistic shot at 3mil total, with awards season as fuel it just might crawl over that mark!

actuals tomorrow but it seems domestic biodrama DJmadfL had an excellent hold; 440k is a 19% drop, excellent! Aquaman also better than in estimates, 290k means a 31% drop.

Saturday estimates very stable. Here in Austria, weather might seriously dampen the weekend since there's so much snow, many multiplexes catering to the suburbs will be hard to reach.

BR is just crazy - and overall a verrry fine weekend, a soothing final to the horrible BO-year 2018

I was thinking along these lines, too - next weekend will show if it has a chance!

very nice weekend, "Der Junge muss ..." is going up with each estimate - good omen for the next weeks, 3mil total are easily possible!

"Der Junge muss ..." had a very early and wide start, so I suppose will come in 2nd for the weekend proper. (In Austria, probably a lot worse, german comedy is not that popular here with some noteworthy exceptions). With this kind of opening, 3mil might be possible! Ok number for Aquaman, WOM seems decent. Quite big for a DC movie!
