Lived in Timisoara for a few years playing soccer for Poli. This was in Early 2000's so maybe it's different now but back then most things would shut down very early on Sunday's leaving very little to do so I'd just go to the cinema.

Although we still have major problems with corruption, infrastructure and poor planning overall, Romania has changed quite a bit since the early 2000s. Bucuresti, Timisoara, Cluj-Napoca or Iasi are just some of the big cities where many things have changed, multi-national companies have settled in, the IT & Engineering business is booming and you pretty much can do anything you want on any day, at any time. In the post-communism era (1990-2005), Romania had a hard time growing and expanding on any field whatsoever. After that period, things took a turn for the better, in my opinion.

What a surprise! The Nun opened on top with an UNBELIEVABLE 91.233 adm. and $0.45M. It's absolutely monstrous for a horror movie in Romania. 

The previous ow record (for a horror movie) was set by Insidious 4 - 38.748 adm. The Nun already beat Annabelle (70.402 adm in total), Conjuring (52.712), Conjuring 2 (88.161) and soon will be the biggest horror movie here (IT held the record with 139.899 adm). 

Frankly, I have no idea why this movie it's a huge success in Romania. Maybe because the entire movie was filmed here. 

It will fly (I guess) past $1m and 200.000 adm. Absolutely unbelievable!!

Romania box office update (September 9th):

 

As expected, "The Nun" opens at no. 1 and grabs BY FAR the biggest horror-movie OW ever, at $454K / 1.81M RON. The next biggest horror-movie OWs belong to "Insidious 4" ($189K), "IT" ($165K) and "Annabelle:Creation" ($163.7K). The biggest horror-movie run belongs to "IT" ($660K), "The Nun" should easily pass that mark by the end of next weekend.

 

"Demi soeurs" opens at no. 12 and makes $9.5K / 37.7K RON on OW.

 

"Alpha" stays strong at no. 2, having grossed a very nice $564K to date.

 

"Mission Impossible - Fallout" makes it to $1.23M, while "The Meg" nears the $1M mark, currently standing at $926K.

 

"Hotel Transylvania 3", with its current $1.59M, will become the second highest grossing animated movie in Romania, by the end of next weekend.

Sorry for being inactive lately, I was pretty stressed out with work & college. I'll try to keep on posting regularly.

[Andreas]

Romania box office update (October 14th):

 

"Mile 22" opens to an ok $82K / 330K RON on OW, "First Man" follows behind opening at no. 4 and grossing $46K / 186K RON this weekend.

 

"I still see you" and "Bad Times at El Royale" underperform and open to $27K / 109K RON and $30K / 121K RON, respectively.

 

"Venom" reigns supreme at no. 1 and has made it to $1.31M so far. The movie will probably outgross "Fifty Shades Darker" ($1.65M) and "Deadpool 2" (~$1.79M). The $2M-mark and "Black Panther"'s final haul of $2.01M aren't out of reach either.

 

"Johnny English strikes again" sits comfortably at no. 2 and has made it to a good haul of $381K.

 

"The House with a clock in its walls" falls to no. 10 and finally reaches the $200K-mark.

 

Other holdovers: Alpha $787K, A Simple Favor $343K, The Nun $1.48M.

 

Next weekend sees the release date of "Halloween" and "A Star is born".

"Halloween" should see another huge opening for a horror movie. Many people are excited to see the movie around here.

 

 

[Andreas]

Romania box office update (October 21st):

 

"Halloween" underperforms and makes roughly $102K / 418K RON on OW, thus not reaching other horror-movie OW heights like "IT"s or "Insidious 4"s (Not even bringing "The Nun" into conversation)

 

"A Star Is Born" exceeds expectations and opens at no.2, grossing $149K / 611K RON on OW.

 

"Venom" stays on top after its third weekend in theatres, now having grossed an enormous haul of $1.78M. The movie, which is now expected to outgross "Black Panther"s final haul ($2.01M) will become the second highest grossing movie of 2018 AND the second highest grossing superhero-movie ever (behind only "Avengers:Infinity War"). Expected final haul: $2.25M.

 

"Johnny English Strikes Again" sits comfortably at no. 3, having grossed $522K to date.

 

"The Nun" slows down, now sitting at no. 17 after grossing $1.49M. It'll top $1.5M and become, by far, the highest grossing horror movie ever.

 

Other holdovers: The House with a clock in its walls $230K, First Man $95K, Mile 22 $186K.

"A Star Is Born" shows impressive legs. The movie has grossed $330K to date.

[Andreas]

Romania box office update (November 4th):

 

"Bohemian Rhapsody" outperforms and exceeds all expectations, opening at no.1 and grossing $301K / 1.22M RON on OW. The movie is being praised by everyone.

 

"Goosebumps 2:Haunted Halloween" opens at no.3, making $105K / 429K RON on OW.

 

"Venom" falls to no. 5 but doesn't fail to impress, as the movie has made $2.25M to date. Could the movie possibly outperform "Avengers:Infinity War"? Not impossible, although the  chances are slim. The movie will come awfully close tho.

 

"Smallfoot" made it to $401K, while "A Star Is Born" is one inch away from passing the $500K-mark ($499K).

 

Other holdovers: Halloween $271K, Hunter Killer $261K, Johnny English Strikes Again $796K, Mile 22 $296K.

"Elliot the Littlest Reindeer" follows behind, grossing $85K / 352K RON on OW.

 

"Overlord" underperforms, making just $52K / 215K RON on its first weekend in theatres, thus landing at no. 8 in the top 10.

 

"Bohemian Rhapsody" continues to impress as it maintains its place at the top of the list, having grossed $740K to date.

 

"Venom" doesn't seem to slow down as it made another $110K during this week, now sitting at $2.36M. As I've said before, this movie's final haul will come very close to "Infinity War"s.

 

Other holdovers: A Star Is Born $511K, Goosebumps 2 $172K, Smallfoot $507K.

 

Next weekend sees the release date of "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald", "Life Itself" and Romanian classic "Morometii 2"/"The Moromete Family 2".

[Andreas]

Box office update (November 18th):

 

"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" opens at $474K / $1.95M RON on OW, vastly outperforming its predecessor, "Fantastic Beasts and where to find them", which opened at $345K and went on to pass the $1M-mark in Romania.

 

Romanian classic "Morometii 2"/"The Moromete Family 2" exceeds expectations and opens at no. 2, making $246K / $1M RON on OW.

 

"Bohemian Rhapsody" continues to amaze as it already passed the $1M-mark and sits at no. 3 with $1.08M to date.

 

"A Star is Born" still sits in the top 5, now having grossed a nice haul of $614K.

 

"Venom" is still trying to catch up with "Avengers 3", yet it will ultimately fail as the movie currently stands at $2.41M. Still an over-the-top performance in Romania for a relatively unknown character.

 

Other holdovers: Elliot $171K, Smallfoot $579K, The Girl in the Spider's Web $181K.

 

Next weekend sees the release date of "Creed II", "The Grinch" and "Widows".

"Creed II" follows behind opening in second place and making $213K / 875K RON on OW.  "Creed" opened to just about $50K on OW back in 2015 and made just $167K total. Huge success for the sequel.

 

"Widows" opens at no.5, making $95K / 393K RON on OW.
