It's a German movie based on the American book series The Three investigators which is quite popular here.

Avatar reaching 9M already this weekend - a first since SW7. 10th best 8th WE and 2nd biggest movie ever after Sunday - after a €4M+ WE... (Also it will have passed Titanic's first run already to become the biggest single run ever at the BO) #1 Titanic €126,22M #2 Avatar 2 €122M #3 Avatar 1 €119,19M http://www.insidekino.com/DJahr/DAlltime100bo.htm I've seen it at last on Monday and it really was great - and actually quite scary 👀 I hope (and guess) 2M will happen seeing that only 300k are leftleft (I just saw that it opened to 120k so it'll have a bigger 7th WE than its OW and a x14+ multipler!

Seems like the midweek dropped very little (~95k vs 103k) to reach 8,7M (€118M) until Wednesday. This weekend will see it pass the first Avatar easily (in €) - though it already passed that ones first release. Avatar 1 - 10,897M / €110,15M SE (10) - 396k / €4,4M RR (22) - 380k / ~€4,4M-€4,6M Total - 11,693M* / 119,19M *it seems to have ~20k more than what it should but I don't know where that comes from. https://www.insidekino.de/Y/DuellJC.htm https://www.insidekino.de/DJahr/DAlltime100bo.htm https://www.insidekino.de/DJahr/D2009.htm

It will in Germany. It's around €116M+ now after €5M WE and Titanic is first at €126,2M.

Today A2 will pass SW7 (it's at 7,6M admissions / €102,55M as of yesterday, Wednesday) to become the 3rd biggest movie ever in € - and thus the Top3 will be only JC movies. http://www.insidekino.de/DJahr/DAlltime100bo.htm

"Lucky for Cameron and Disney, which owns the rights after acquiring 20th Century Fox in 2019, the long-delayed sequel has generated $1.748 billion globally to stand as the seventh-highest grossing release in history. It looks to end its theatrical run with $1.825 billion to $2 billion, placing the tentpole firmly in the black." Do I understand this right: She believes, after acknowledging it already did $1,75B, it could do as few as $75M more (and $250M at most)? 😶

The lead should start to shrink over the course of the 5th weekdays. https://www.insidekino.com/Y/DuellJC.htm

No worries, I'm sure Till Schweiger is already filming the next comedy movie with far too much FFA funding!

So Australia, NZ and Canada are the exception of the *underperforming anglosphere* I guess, going for 2nd, 1st and maybe Top3 biggest of all time (don't know really for Canada)?

That is huge! So it passed Titanic and will veeery shortly reach the 2nd place. Following RO it would reach lc19,5M+ 😶 1 17.844.560 Avatar 2 14.632.603 Star Wars VII 14.609.037 Der Herr der Ringe I 4 14.480.054 Avengers 4 5 14.221.805 Top Gun Maverick 6 14.010.448 Titanic https://www.insidekino.de/BO/NZ2022.htm So I guess #1 is locked?

This might be one of the nicest things coming out of the weekend. It's not just Avatar 2 but quite a few other movies doing great numbers now.

I think you might have slipped a week? RO had 317k admissions in its 4th WE and did 495k after that, 1,56x the WE. Same for Avatar 2 would be 8,27M total. https://www.insidekino.de/DTop10/17/DTopJanuar2017.htm For NWH, I didn't remember it had such great late legs (I guess because of covid again?) but another 4M would be huge. 9M is probably locked at this point - next WE, dropping like 40% even, should be 7,4M+ and after the legs it has shown already it shouldn't crumble after the holidays - even if it was very much pushed by them and not itself. And 9,6M would indeed dethrone Titanic. Its ATP might drop a little but 9,5M should be enough I guess.

France above $100M at last! - or is it?

But still on a somewhat lesser scale than other markets like France or Great Britain (at least in newer times, I can't really find older yearly admissions data for most countries). I mean, there must be any answer. Germany had a huge contribution to film as an art form in the early 1900s but much was lost in the following years. So maybe it's a more indirect influence, like talented people leaving - or maybe you're right and it has nothing to do with that. I would love to read something scientific about that but I'm yet to find useful texts.

For a long time now I too wonder why that is though - why Germany has such a bad cinema culture. And I thought maybe it has something to do with the propagandist role movies played in the Third Reich? That may seem a little far-fetched but I didn't find a satisfactory answer yet so maybe the answer indeed once again is: Hitler 👀
