pinocchio Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) I see... Didn't know this animation flick -- Asterix erobert Rom -- was so big in Germany.No other numbers for other countries since it was released in 76.But it's still a "wow" number I would not have expected.

IndustriousAngel Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) It was the best Asterix film, and the one not based on an existing comic story but with its own script.Other popular french films (aside from Asterix):Bienvenue chez les Chti'sThe Fifth ElementThe comedies of Louis de Funès were extremely popular in Germany+Austria but those were mainly in the 60s and 70s - I guess every single of his comedies had more than 1million admissions, some a lot more, but data is hard to come by. Same with comedian Pierre Richard.edit: Just checked, a lot of Louis de Funès comedies got awarded the "golden screen" in germany which means more than 3 million admissions.

Rudolf Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 If anyone is interested I can continue that list with other french movies above 20m admission.We have already noted unbelievable admissions for Austrian and Australian movies in the Sowjetunion. Tickets were cheap, but they did not have the screens then. Were these movies running day and night for month on end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets were cheap, but they did not have the screens then. Were these movies running day and night for month on end?In US average number for admissions per year is 4.3. In France it is 3.5, In Germany only around 1.5In Soviet Union it was between 15 and 20 depending on year. To put it simply average soviet citizen went to movies between 15 and 20 times per year. For many people it was quite common to go to movies almost every Saturday or Sunday.Almost every small village had a small theater or just a projector and some kind of screen. There was no restriction for old movies. If people liked them theaters could show them for many years. But in late 80-s admissions fell shaprly and then everything simply died.

I am sure neither the Australians, the Austrian nor the French (from whom I took those records) are aware of those numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure neither the Australians, the Austrian nor the French (from whom I took those records) are aware of those numbers.Usually foreign movies were purchased for flat price. Or sometimes it was a some kind of cultural exchange between two countries. So there was no need to report anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
