George Parr Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Having all movies at basically 4x the Thursday number does seem pretty pessimistic to me. Then again, the weather should be better on the weekend (it was great in many parts of the country on thursday, but it should be great all around on the weekend) and the weekdays already saw some sort of holiday effect due to over a quarter of the country having holidays, so who knows.

James Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Any chance anything beats Infinity War for the year? On Insidekino I see IW sold about 3.32m tickets and Fantastic Beasts sold 3.47m back in 2016 so maybe that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Insidekino I see IW sold about 3.32m tickets and Fantastic Beasts sold 3.47m back in 2016 so maybe that? Bar a big surprise (Maybe Halloween, Grinch or Mary Poppins...?), its the only movie where id say it has a shot. But right now, i dont think FB2 can reach the first one. Buzz is very muted and - thats just anecdotical i know - whenever they showed the trailer when i was in the theater this year, there was literally no response from the audience. That was completely different back in 2016. I do hope it manages it, as this market needs a big hit as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) I'd say The Incredibles 2 should also have a decent shot. The first one had 3.5m admissions, and who knows how this one will fare. It does have a pretty good opening-date at the end of September. Would be better if the 3rd of October would be closer to the weekend instead of falling on a Wednesday, but it still should allows for pretty good weekdays. October 1st is also the start of the autumn holiday in 9 states, so that should give a boost as well, even if the states with the biggest populations aren't among them. Doesn't look like anything will beat Inifinity War in terms of money though. Edited June 29, 2018 by George Parr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Incredibles2 would also be my favourite - should appeal to parents and kids alike and fun animation can really take off on the German (and Austrian) market. Keeping my fingers crossed ... as Brainbug said, the market does need a few hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Second trend looks a bit better, for the most part: #1 JW2 125k #2 Ocean's 8 95k #3 Love, Simon 52.5k #4 Deadpool 2 35k #5 Papst Franziskus 25k #6 Solo 25k #7Meine teuflisch gute Freundin 25k 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 final estimates from insidekino.de have JW2 now at 150k for the weekend - a sub 40% drop, good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketheavenger Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 JW2 has so far always increased quite a bit throughout the weekend. I think that's a positive sign for word-of-mouth and it shows that the movie appeals to families, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Actuals tomorrow but it seems that with JW2 at 160k and O8 a little over 100k, we've got at least two releases with >100k admissions. A small but silver lining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el sid Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 The Thursday estimates for the whole country look good: The new releases: The First Purge (450, modest to ok reviews, overall similar to those in the USA): 52k - very good if it holds and if the weekend doesn't become too sunny (like it's unfortunately predicted) How to Party with Mom (310, modest reviews): 4k Liebe bringt alles ins Rollen/Tout le Monde Debout (130, mixed reviews between 4 and 8/10): 2.5k The holdovers: Ocean's 8: 17k (actuals last Thursday 21k) JW2: 17k (25k) - maybe again underestimated DP2: 4.5k (6.5k) Love, Simon: 6.5k (10k) - was also underestimated last week Solo: 3.5k (5.5k) Pope Francis: 6k (7k) - so far it was always underestimated The South-West report also shows again good holds and even some increases: For O8 463 admissions (last Thursday 544), JW2 had 488 (494), Solo 115 (last week 102), DP2 152 (206) and Love, Simon 232 (180) in the selected theaters. And for the biggest new release – The First Purge – it counted remarkable 1.059 admissions. The other two new releases look a bit meager: 144 for How to Party with Mom and 37 for Liebe bringt alles ins Rollen. Mark_G predicts a minus for all holdovers of only 20%. The First Purge could start with 160k admissions OW and HTPWM with 50k (which is lower than I would have guessed). 44% of the federal republic have school holidays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 First trend is up, again with quite a bit of uncertainty due to weather supposedly improving for the weekend itself (not to mention World Cup games on Friday and Saturday): #1 The First Purge 150k #2 JW2 140k (-14%) #3 Ocean's 8 80k (-22%) #4 Love, Simon 35k (-15% / -51% with previews) #5 Meine teuflische gute Freundin 35k (+15% / flat with previews) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el sid Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 And, a bit late, The Thursday actuals from Blickpunkt:Film: The new releases: The First Purge: 32.5k - far under the estimates . I don't know why so many people didn't appear after their reservations, the weather wasn't so great (in the South), also no football... How to Party with Mom: 5k → 35k OW predicted so far, even under the already pretty low expectations Liebe bringt alles ins Rollen: 1.450 → 15k OW The holdovers look more delightful: JW2: 23k (actuals last Thursday 25k) Ocean's 8: 17.5k (21k) Love, Simon: 7.6k (10k) Meine teuflisch gute Freundin: 7.2k (6k) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Not a whole lot of movement with the third trend: JW2 up again to 115k (+15k from the last one, but still quite a bit below the first one), Meine teuflisch gute Freundin +2,5k, Papst Franziskus -2,5k, nothing else changed.
