lorddemaxus Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Anyone know when they'll allow film production to start again in Germany? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Cinemas will probably re-open in Austria on July 1st, with reduced seating and longer intervals between shows. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 Interesting side-effect of the Corona crisis: Since distributors don't distribute any new distributions, the cinemas that are open (mostly drive-in) are playing reliable older releases or even classics ... meaning that some of the 2019 and early 2020 movies are showing fantastic legs (among them Parasite which missed 1mil admissions in Germany despite the Oscars push but should cross the mark in May) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndustriousAngel Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 In a surprise easing of regulations, cinemas in Austria may re-open as of today (distancing rules apply) - but the step came so sudden that the chains were caught on the wrong foot - employees are still on leave, concession not yet stocked plus, of course, there's no new releases ... so, only a few arthouses and drive-ins are really opening today, most bigger venues opt for a mid-June opening. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the end of 2018, BR wasn't even hitting 2.5m admission, can't believe it added at least 1.4m since 2019. meaning it had at least one-third of its box office gained after its 8th weekend of release 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the original run was extremely leggy, it was in the Top3 mid-January 2019, by mid-February it was already at 3,1mil total, mid-March 3,4mil, Mid-April 3,5mil ...

Next weekend: With some more openers - among them a domestic twin comedy, Takeover - voll vertauscht - which might take the top spot - numbers should go up a bit. I'm also curious about the appeal of musical doc Krautrock; there were some really successful rock biographies in the last years so this might be just the thing to bring some audiences back. And - also a domestic production - arthouse romance/drama Undine would be a fringe release in other times but might very well end up in the top 3 with the Covid situation. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Sounds like theaters are allowed to show some hit movies from the past to get them going again. E.g. Disney allows them to show Empire strikes Back (in English), as well as TFA, TLJ and Rogue One. I've also seen the third Hobbit and fourth Harry Potter scheduled at Cinemaxx. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 The Dark Knight is playing at mine, in 4DX ... seems like the sensible thing to do, atm distributors make it possible. Maybe that's also something that will remain from this crisis - more re-releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
