IndustriousAngel Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Opening night and I have to say the Känguru is looking healthy; this might be one of those German comedies that manage to find their audience in Austria, too. Emma and Onward pretty weak (Onward might catch up over the weekend though; Emma seems DOA) 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndustriousAngel Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 that's pretty low, thought the Känguru could go higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Saturday update: Even lower for the Känguru, higher for Onward (still very low for a Pixar movie but not a complete flop) and most other releases - while there's no real hit atm, at least we have five or six popular releases, nice distribution. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some surveys saying that people in Germany don't really fear the virus that much, which is a bit surprising to me too... The only thing that changed seem to be some panic buyings. Maybe it is because many people trust the government. Especially the health ministers image greatly improved since the beginning of the spreading virus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 I think there was very little "panic" or fear anyway ... even if the papers headline every day with pictures of people in ABC suits, the population seems much more relaxed 😀 - as long as cinemas stay open, there won't be much impact. The question is IF they stay open; here in Austria some public events (fairs, sports events) have been cancelled and some schools closed; when that happens to cinemas THEN we'll have the impact. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero deaths with almost 800 cases now is amazing. Guess having an incredibly well-funded healthcare system helps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also helps that Germany and Austria came pretty late in the chain so the health system was already prepared (different from Italy where the virus obviously had some weeks to spread before the danger became public) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week's openers had excellent holds, at least! Next weekend: Domestic literary adaption Narziss und Goldmund will probably tbe the biggest opener but the movie is too serious for a big success I think. Also opening: My Spy and Like a Boss; with the domestic comedies still strong they'll have a difficult task in getting their audience I think. As to the virus impact: In Austria, public events are forbidden as of now when they are >500 participants (outdoor) or >100 (indoor); no word yet from cinemas but If taken at face value, that should mean they can't sell more than 100 tickets per show. Since most shows are well below that treshold, this would hurt only the best-selling releases or specials with lots of invited people. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 As expected; reaction from chain Cineplexx: Quote Der Kinobetreiber Cineplexx will seine Kinos offen halten und Filme nur mit bis zu 95 Karten pro Vorstellung verkaufen, wobei zwischen zwei Zuschauern immer ein Platz frei bleiben soll. "Das haben wir in unserem Online-Reservierungs-Tool bereits veranlasst. Umfassende Hygienemaßnahmen in unseren Standorten sind grundsätzlich auf einem sehr hohen Standard und wurden bereits in den letzten Wochen nochmals verstärkt." Other chains and single theaters will probably do the same. So, as mentioned, smaller releases will stay pretty un-affected. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristis Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) With things getting more and more unclear, after last weeks Känguru there's another german "hope" opening, Narziss und Goldmund. What I read, the movie cost around €10M. The InsideKino prediction is 80k WE and 250k total - it'll be a huge flop... If really all cinemas close (which in three cities already happened it seems) and stay closed for quite some time, I fear this year could be the first time ever to stay below 100M admissions... There have been 6 deaths yet and we're probably close to 3000 infected. I fear the german reaction to all this isn't very strict. Hopefully the low death count indicates that it isn't that bad...
