Overall nicely spread-out business; it's not every weekend where you need 20k admissions to enter the charts. But the story of the weekend is certainly Parasite's success; that's a massive Awards push and WOM is still good so it won't drop off the charts anytime soon! Next weekend: It's a doggie weekend, with The Call of the Wild and a domestic Lassie adaption opening against each other … Fox and Warner must have had something like a theme weekend in mind or else they were out of theirs … while Germany is a very dog-friendly country, I suspect Sonic will stay on top. Also opening: Fantasy Island and Brahms: The Boy II (might see some success with the horror market virtually empty). With few holidays and the dog openers, other family releases will probably experience steep drops.

First weekend estimates from insidekino.de: #1: Sonic - 425k (nice surprise hit)! #2: Nightlife - 325k #3: Dolittle - 150k #4/5: BoP/Enkel - 105k each some excellent holds coming from last weekend's weather-depressed numbers!

... and Sonic seems to do surprisingly good, let's see how high it can go! (Meanwhile, Parasite is still the only real seller among evening movies)

opening show for "Nightlife" ... not much business (busiest movie this evening is Parasite, nice!) but its strong day will of course be Valentine's so let's wait and see

Birds of Prey is not an outright flop but very disappointing; it may end with a smaller total than Suicide Squad's OW … domestic comedy Enkel für Anfänger also came in lower than I hoped. Next weekend: Business will be much better with domestic comedy Nightlife taking the top spot; maybe it can open in the 300-400k range. Also opening: Bombshell and Sonic; the latter one is a dark horse for me; sometimes those game related movies do really well and others bellyflop; I have virtually no idea where this will go.

and final estimates from insidekino.de: #1: Dolittle - 180k (-28%) #2: BB3 - 150k (-36%) #3: BoP - 160k incl. previews (I guess about 20k) #4: Enkel - 110k (incl. a few previews) #5: Hochzeit - 95k

Saturday update - BoP a lot lower; wouldn't be surprised if it ended up #3 for the weekend ...

as mentioned, going by my theater, I'm surprised BoP is as high as it seems ... first estimates from insidekino.de: #1: Dolittle - 200k admissions (-20%) #2: BoP - 200k incl. previews #3: BB3 - 145k (-38%) #4: Enkel - 120k #5: Hochzeit - 90k (-39%)

ugh, Birds of Prey virtually empty today 🙁 - going by my numbers, Dolittle will stay SAFELY in #1 but maybe it's really a weekend movie

btw, presales for BoP are looking pretty sad at my theater ... maybe it's more of a weekend movie, let's wait and see

Domestic comedy Enkel für Anfänger will eat a bit into that market (let's see if Das perfekte Geheimnis can stay in the charts one week longer …) while Birds of Prey aims for the action / comic-book crowd and #1 - let's see if Dolittle can defend the top spot!

Saturday update from insidekino.de has most releases about 10% up, fine! #1 yet unclear

while the "race" for #1 is not yet decided, overall it's back to the daily grind and boring weekends at the BO ...

Next weekend: Dolittle will be the big opener but it's questionable if it can get to #1. With little new competition, most releases should see healthy drops.

First weekend estimates from insidekino.de have BB3 in lead with 300k admissions (-32%); Die Hochzeit on #2 with 200k (a little disappointing) and 1917 on #3 with 165k admissions (that would be a <%5 drop, wow)
