first estimates for Germany from insidekino.de: #1: Greenland - 80k admissions #2: Jim Knopf 2 - 70k (step drop ...) #3/4: Drachenreiter / The Secret Garden (45k each) Greenland's number contains previews so #1 for the actual weekend is as yet undecided. Overall poor weekend ...

Yes, Tenet is one of those movies that did really fine - I don't see it getting any higher even under on-Corona circumstances. In this case, restrictions were countered by the lack of competition and accordingly excellent legs as expected. Sadly, many other releases didn't find this nice spot (take for instance The New Mutants)

Still a good opening for The Secret Garden! Domestic releases continue to "dominate" in the absence of Hollywood releases. Next weekend: No big openers, but an interesting one in domestic thriller Cortex - an often neglected genre in Germany, but there have have been some nice productions over the years and there's no competition, so who knows? Might be enough for #2. In Austria, Es ist zu deinem Besten was #1 and The Secret Garden opened on #2. A Nice Girl Like You continued to sell much better than in Germany.

updated estimates a bit higher for nearly everything except Jim Knopf 2 - Secret Garden is near a 200 PTA, wow!

first estimates for Germany's weekend from insidekino.de : #1: Jim Knopf 2 - 125k admissions (-9%) #2: Drachenreiter - 92k (incl. previews I guess) #3: The Secret Garden - 80k (surprisingly good PTA, if true) #4: Es ist zu deinem Besten - 57k (-15%) #5: Tenet - 50k (-24%)

Also good for La Daronne, a three-digit-PTA is ok under current circumstances. Domestic releases continue to dominate the charts in the absence of international hits. Next weekend: Another domestic children's book adaption, Drachenreiter, should be the biggest opener and maybe #2. Among international releases, The Secret Garden will probably be the biggest opener. In Austria, Es ist zu deinem Besten became #1 while A Nice Girl Like You continued its strong run on #2.

I've mentioned this much earlier in this thread - having participated in the planning and construction of a few multiplexes, I know how the ventilation works (or is supposed to work). And purification should not come into play except as a last resort; the safe way to go is to take 100% outdoor air for your ventilation. All state-of-the-art ventilation/AC systems let you choose how much ambient air you use and how much you recirculate. Add to that that in most theaters, the air gets blown in below the seats and sucked off via the ceiling, which makes for a nearly vertical airstrem, and a movie theater should in fact be quite a safe room (provided, as mentioned, the 100% ambient air, plus maybe a stronger-than-usual airstream)

First estimates from insidekino.de for Germany's weekend have Jim Knopf with a possible increase and the new domestic comedy at about 75k on #2 - Tenet falling back to #3 (60k) which is a steeper drop than expected. With the absence of international releases in the post-Corona world, domestic productions are bound to have a much bigger market share than usual, even if absolute numbers might seem low. For some productions (mainly family releases), admissions even seem higher than would have been possible with competition.

Definitely a very "solid" result - really, surprisingly good - that's a number that would have been good even in pre-Corona times (Interstellar had exactly those 1,7mil admissions)

Domestic comedy Gott, du kannst ein Arsch sein! had a respectable opening, at least not an outright flop. Among holdovers, Onward crossed 400k - finally. No Escape continues to collect its trickle of admissions (in Austria, it's a sleeper hit with far better numbers). Tenet had a fine drop, especially considering the increase last weekend. Next weekend: Another domestic comedy, Es ist zu deinem Besten, wich is maybe overdoing it at that front, and French crime comedy La Daronne, plus Dark Waters - no standout here, Jim Knopf should be a safe #1 for another weekend (and probably longer, looking at the upcoming competition, and James Bond postponed, it might spend A LOT of weeks in that spot …) In Austria, A Nice Girl Like You was #1, outperforming Germany by about 300% - Jim Knopf otoh was far behind Germany; the book seems to be less popular here.

thanks! Tenet in Austria about 18% ahead of Germany which is a bit better than usual for similar productions (usually, I assume a 10-15% lead) but Germany is showing better holds, so in the end it will probably fall inside that range. But for other releases, there are really noteworthy differences: After We Collided: 39% ahead in Austria ! The New Mutants: 60% ahead !! No Escape: 268% ahead !!! Scoob!: 275% ahead !!!! A Nice Girl Like You: 319% ahead !!!!!

given how good Trump is at admitting errors, I don't see much chance

First estimates for Germany's weekend from insidekino.de: #1: Jim Knopf und die wilde 13 - about 200k incl. previews (probably around 130k for the weekend) #2: Tenet - 90k (20% drop, but only 10% down from 2 weekends ago- very nice) #3: close between Ooops!2, After We Collided and the domestic comedy with around 50k each

Among openers, the 2nd Ooops! movie opened strongest as expected but WW2 drama Persischstunden had the best PTA (and good reviews, too). Next weekend: Not represented this week are the previews for next week's big opener, Jim Knopf und die wilde 13. They would have been in a contest for #3, so we'll probably have a new #1 next weekend, hopefully with >100k admissions (weekend only) and >200k including previews. (Over its run, it should top 1mil in any case, has probably a shot at 1,5mil and might even go higher). Another domestic opener, Gott du kannst ein Arsch sein (with Til Schweiger) might also see a strong opening but I can't see it reach 100k for the weekend. Misbehaviour flew a bit under my radar, no idea where this could be headed. In Austria, similar numbers with Tenet on top, but A Nice Girl Like You opened much higher than in Germany (#2 in Austria).

final estimates a bit higher (or a lot higher, for Ooops!2); Tenet now with an estimated 15% increase. On another note, in today's local paper there were interviews with local cinema mangers, one from the bigger multiplex in town (2020 sales estimated down 60%), one from the arthouse (only 25% of usual capacity sold) - both hope for public help https://www.tt.com/artikel/17373051/tiroler-kinos-vor-ungewisser-zukunft-hoffnungstraeger-james-bond The big problem is not only the spring lockdown and seating restrictions, the big problem is the absence of blockbuster releases.
