BO Germany/Austria: Deadpool&Wolverine #1

[Heretic]

Very hot and sunny all over Europe this weekend. Hottest weather of summer so far, so every country will see BIG drops. And then for the rest of June, it's the world cup. So expect virtually no business.

I think we have to wait for Hobbit 3 in December to feel pulse from German box office.

It's been a flatline since Wolf of Wall Street

[IndustriousAngel]

Yep, 2014 is shaping up to be one of the worst years ever BO-wise. The silver lining is that there were some nice domestic successes. Austria is even worse.

Less than 2007's 125.4m (current post 1995 low)?

[IndustriousAngel]

In Austria, yes, if there's not a bunch of surprise blockbusters, worse than 2007

What are the big openers of the current weekend?

[IndustriousAngel]

Brick Mansions is the only one doing any business

First trend for the weekend in Germany:

 

#1: The Fault in our Stars - 170k admissions

#2: Tinkerbell2 - 120k

#3: Maleficent - 100k

Football-counter-programming in full swing, not as bad a weekend as could have been, at least you need 100k admissions to reach the Top3

Germany's first match is on Monday at 6 PM (Local Time), against Cristiano Ronaldo... This weekend is safe!!

If it was only your team's matches, there would be little impact on BO ... but as a rule even complete outsider matches get a lot of views during championships. Austria is not even qualified and our BO suffers ...

 

I've checked Austrian admissions for the Top15 in June+July for the last years, it's sobering: championship years, sup-2mil, non-championship: 2mil-plus. 2008 really was the worst since Austria took part in the Euro2008 (no, we were not qualified, just played host )

2006 - 1.929.376

2007 - 2.161.215

2008 - 1.352.998

2009 - 2.109.236

2010 - 1.654.343

2011 - 2.351.753

2012 - 1.745.363

2013 - 2.083.433

2014 - ???

[IndustriousAngel]

weeell, surprise surprise but Maleficent seems to overtake the Pirate Fairy ... final trend:

#1: The Fault in our Stars - 150k admissions

#2: Maleficent - 125k

#3: Tinkerbell2 - 110k

#4: AMWtDitW - 70k

#5: XMen - 55k

and in Winter are the years with skiing mega events as visible?

every 4 years wintergames, but in the odd years alpine and nordic skiWMs, so every 4 years there could be a good BO-year?

So is that an increase for Mal?

[lab276]

130k last weekend, so down slightly.

[IndustriousAngel]

So is that an increase for Mal?

not an increase but basically flat

[Dingdong123]

So I saw Oz actually grossed $15M in Germany. Do you guys think Maleficent can top that?

Possible but far from locked - it largely depends on weather. Some not-too-sunny weekends should push it over that mark. There's little competition - it's sinking Tinkerbell2 this weekend and the next "big" family event will be HTTYD2 and that's already end of July, so it's got the afternoon basically for itself.
