Evil Dead Rise opened within expectations, but seemed a little frontloaded. And Mario Bros. continued its dominance, will probably miss 6mil total but 5,5 are looking good. In Austria, similar numbers for the Top3 (Mario Bros. and Evil Dead even stronger); but The Whale opened much higher (>6k for the 3day weekend compared to Germany's 30k for the 4dayWE). Mario Bros. crossed 500k total on Sat and is on its way to well beyond 600k total, 700k are still possible. Next weekend: The big opener will be Guardians of the Galaxy 3, it should become #1 but the question is if it can reach GotG2 (750k OW but a crappy multiplier) - presales don't give that impression. While for the longest time, Marvel sequels always managed to increase, this trend was already broken and will be broken again, I fear - I'd say a 500k OW would be ok for the Guardians. No other big openers, so family films should see ok drops (weather conditions so-so).

early weekend estimates for Germany from insidekino.de #1: Mario Bros. - 450k (-18%) #2: Evil Dead Riswe - 160k (excellent) #3: John Wick 4 - 75k (flat) weather is pretty rainy, so good for the movies!

In Austria, very similar numbers with Mario Bros. a bit stronger … while 6mil total in Germany look very hard to reach, 700k in Austria are nearly locked by now. John Wick 4 is now >200k total, also a bit stronger than in Germany. And domestic comedy Griechenland is still in the Top10 and should have hit 250k total by now! Next weekend: Two medium-sized releases - Evil Dead Rise (which might make #2) and The Whale, plus sports comedy Champions (instand flop going by presales) - nothing here to theaten Mario Bros.' lead!

Suzume's success is really outstanding, it did much better in Germany than Austria - must have been a different marketing release strategy,

Family releases had fine increases (or, in Mario Bros' case, a near-flat hold, astonishing after the already strong OW), and with Suzume and Une belle Course there were two openers with a PTA>200 (Suzume additionaly with strong OD numbers); the new Musketeers movie otoh flopped as expected. Good news from domestic releases, Die drei ??? has now crossed 1,5mil, and Sonne und Beton 1,0mil. In Austria, with rainy weather, once more even better numbers - Mario Bros. with a slight increase (should be at 400k total by Friday, crazy), John Wick 4 on #2 (already near 200k total) and Cocaine Bear nearly double as strong as in Germany. Next weekend: Mario Bros. had two super weeks, but with holidays now over, numbers will decline faster (same goes for other family releases) - no problem, the movie has already surpassed expectations and is headed to at least 5mil total! No big openers, so holdovers should do fine (I'm curious about the next weeks for the D&D movie, after the lukewarm opening it managed very solid holds, seems to have generated some good WOM)

with weather the way it is atm, Austria should also have a super weekend once more

I don't know about Germany, in Austria it's a normal release (at my theater, 1 show/day from tomorrow, 2 shows/day starting Monday)

Movie and decent holds for many releases except family fare. With this kind of opening, the game movie should at least hit 4mil total but probably more. In Austria, a similar chart (Wick more popular here than Manta) but if you think Germany's OW was good, well, the number in Austria is even better - 200k after OW! Also, Pope's Exorcist came in >10k, so much better OW than in Germany, too. Next weekend: One week after the fine opening in France, Les Trois Mousquetaires: D'Artagnan opens here but the numbers will be MUCH lower if not outright floppy. Also opening: Cocaine Bear (no idea where this may be heading or to whom it might appeal) and Suzume, a real dark horse - anime have become pretty popular lately but since this is an original theme afaik that may be a problem. Looking at presales, I see none of them opening in the 6-digit-range.

Saturday update from insidekino even higher (for nearly every release, too!) - super weekend. #1: Mario - 1,225mil incl Wed #2: Manta2 - 240k (-36%) #3: Wick4 - 210k (-28%) #4: D&D - 105k (-28%)

that's actually insane ...

that's probably happening (Austria should also make >100k incl. Wed with ease), I was thinking about the 4-day weekend. But with weather not too spring-like and even rainy in many parts over the weekend, I think we will indeed get a super strong OW! (and not only Mario, we might in fact see some spillover)

In Austria, also a good opening for the German car comedy, but John Wick 4 stayed on top, already >100k admissions here. D&D opened stronger than in Germany and domestic comedy Griechenland is still going strong. Next weekend: A new #1 with the Super Mario Bros movie is a safe bet, just how big can it get? Presales are looking fine, maybe something in the 750k region is possible (some are even talking about a million start). Also opening: Air with good reviews but much less potential, #5 might be possible.

Saturday update from insidekino.de a bit lower for JW4 and higher for D&D, overall about the same. Family releases have some difficulties this weekend it seems (though a few youngsters might be in D&D if yesterday's shows were an indication)

I had the impression this was a pre-start but obviously, it got counted as a regular release - ok number for the few shows it had.

weekend seems to be fine but why would you want them to switch places? Always nice to have a domestic hit, even if the movie seems to be a bit of a stinker ... (I've never even seen the original so I have zero idea about the appeal)

looking at Thursday evening, Manta Manta will be the bigger of the two openers ... at least in Germany; in Austria, D&D seems at least head-to-head, at my theater even stronger.

And a pretty good PTA for a domestic documentation - nice result for Der vermessene Mensch. After last weekend's horrible drops, family releases had a little comeback - Der Räuber Hotzenplotz has now crossed 1mil total, a number many domestic children's book adaptions are aiming for but only a few actually reach! In Austria, once more, a similar weekend but overall better, with John Wick 4 opening higher and domestic comedy Griechenland still strong, already >200k admissions. Next weekend: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves has in reality already opened, it had official shows during last weekend which will be counted next week; this pre-opening was ok (around 100k in Germany I'd guess) but it's unsure how big the actual OW can get, I'm hoping for something around 250k - trailer looked like fun and fantasy does sell pretty well here, Also opening: Domestic sequel Manta Manta - Zwoter Teil, a sequel to a long-long-ago (30 years …) cult movie starring Til Schweiger; I have no idea how popular the thing still is in Germany but a six-digit-OW would be nice I guess.

sadly, most releases down a bit ... not a good weekend except for JW4

at my theater, no problem getting good seats ... a good opening but nothing special.

early weekend estimates from insidekino.de for Germany: #1: John Wick 4 - 475k admissions, big increase from 3 #2: Sonne und Beton - 100k no other releases >50k, sadly

The best news we can take away from last weekend is that there's a wider base of attractive releases once more, many releases >10k admissions, the BO is on its way back to pre-Corona times. In Austria, also a bad weekend but overall slightly better thanks mainly to the strong domestic comedy on #1. Next weekend: One more medium-sized hit coming up, John Wick 4 should win the weekend without any problem, the only question is if it can beat its predecessor (which would put it around a 300k OW). Other actioners will probably get hit really hard … but Avatar 2 will have crossed the 10mil mark by then

thanks to beautiful spring weather, depressing BO numbers according to insidekino.de... #1: Sonne und Beton - 140 k admissions #2: Creed 3 - 115k #3: Shazam 2 - 95k In Austria, equally bad numbers with >50% drops, but overall slightly better (our domestic #1 and Scream6 were stronger than Germany's numbers, Shazam2 only #4 here)

sadly, everything down from firste estimates ... don't know about all of Germany but here in Austria, it's outdoors weather, beautiful spring days ... bad news for the BO!

going by my cinema, #3 will be out of reach ... this is selling so bad atm I'd be surprised if it makes even the Top5

Sadly, Creed 3 nearly had the steepest drop, didn't expect that after last weekend - still, a big success, after 2 weekends already more admissions than the prior Creed movies! The steepest drop, btw, was Ant-Man 3's, that release just can't catch a breath after the ok opening. In Austria, once more, the weekend was much better. Domestic comedy Griechenland was back on #1 (already >150k admissions after 3 weekends, might reach blockbuster status), Creed 3 dropped nearly as steep as in Germany but was still close to 30k and Scream 6 opened much stronger (>20k for the 4day weekend); 65 opened stronger, too, while Fabelmans was on Germany's level. The only movie doing much worse than in Germany was (again) Sonne und Beton which has a hard time finding an audience in Austria! Next weekend: One more domestic comedy, Der Pfau, might see some success (maybe top5?) but the biggest opener should be the second Shazam! movie, #3 should be possible. It will be interesting if Sonne und Beton can finally reach #1 on its 3rd weekend!
