Frozen 2 dominated the market, a total north of 6mil seems very probable and 7mil possible. Next weekend: Some interesting releases - Hustlers, the Good Liar, The Lighthouse - but nothing really big (Hustlers has the best chances at a >100k OW) … and, a rare thing, not a single family release! Frozen2 will have another strong weekend at the top, possibly with a <30% drop.

final weekend estimates from insidekino.de have F2 at 1,6mil for the 5-day start, wow! most other releases a bit higher, too - excellent.

with holiday season coming, I see 6mil total as a good goal and 7mil as a possibilty

let's just say a >1 million OW is looking very realistic and 5mil total are nearly a lock from there on with holiday season on the horizon. a 1.5mil OW makes even 6mil look possible.

Sorry my mistake, of course I meant #3

The domestic comedy scored the highest 3rd weekend of the year, perfect WOM obviously. Next weekend: The big opener is Frozen2, presales look a bit lackluster but that's perfectly normal for family fare. #1 should be no problem but can it get to 1mil OW? With a target demo that young, frontloadedness will be a smaller factor than with other releases - otoh you'd be hard pressed to spot a girl NOT wearing and/or using some Frozen merchandise, this must be the most-merchandised title in recent history. However it opens, this will work its way up the 2019 charts throughout December … A completely different audience gets targeted by Doctor Sleep which might become #2 (especially as it will eat into Joker's demo …)

At this rate, Joker might yet miss the 4mil total mark (still, what a success!). Next weekend: The Irishman, Last Christmas, Ford vs Ferrari, Booksmart, Black And Blue, My Zoe, plus some more - a LOT of releases but #1 should be very very safe with the domestic comedy. Among openers, the christmas comedy is probably the biggest hope for a new #2.

The only strange thing was the fact that on a Halloween weekend none of the horror openers made it into the Top10 … Next weekend: No competition for this week's Top 2; maybe Emmerich's Midway has a chance at #3. Also opening, and with better chances at #3: Turkish comedy sequel Recep İvedik 6.

7/10, ok and entertaining enough but not that different from the original ... I'm not against doing any remakes, but if you do, you should add something new or different - else, why bother?

verrry nice weekend if estimates hold!

Going by presales, Das perfekte Geheimnis has a good but not exceptional opening weekend coming in Austria (but I suppose it's more for the German audience anyway)

There might be an oversaturation of family CGI atm … Next weekend: Of course there'll be some horror but the biggest opener should be domestic comedy Das perfekte Geheimnis; probably far from FJG numbers but #1 seems easily possible.

That's beyond bad for the Terminator movie ...

Domestic musical comedy Ich war noch niemals in New York topped 100k but was definitely on the lower end of expectations. Next weekend: The latest Terminator movie hits theaters; frankly I don't know what to expect, the franchise has a very unhealthy reek by now but with the original cast maybe 300k are possible (though I doubt it). Also opening: The Addams Family plus two other CGI movies … good scheduling here, haha. And Brittany Runs a Marathon is the kind of movie that has sleeper potential if it can generate some WOM.
