What are the expectations for the Interstellar rerelease? Pre-sales seem to be pretty decent as far as I can see.

The strongest movie this weekend wasn't even an official release - the Sunday previews for next week's Die Scbule der magischen Tiere 3 beat everything else on their 4-day-weekends … pitiful performances all around.

In Austria, not much better - the worst 2024 weekend. At least, Beetlejuice stayed in the 5-digit-range, but a really awful weekend too.

Next weekend: Finally, after many weeks, a movie with blockbuster potential - Die Schule der magischen Tiere 3 has its official OW. I don't know if it can reach 3mil total but the way the franchise has been developing, anything lower than 2mil would be a disappointment.

A good opening for domestic kiddie bestseller adaption Die Schule der magischen Tiere 3 - nice! Despite that, Despicable Me 4 had an increase and has now crossed 4mil total, congratulations, a very reliable franchise. Many other releases had fine drops (from low levels) or even increases - biopic Lee stood out with a nearly 70% increase which led it to #3. Megalopolis is flopping, not even half the admissions of the limited Interstellar re-release …

In Austria, similar numbers except for Lee which didn't show a comparable increase. We had Lord-of-the-Rings triple features in some cinemas on Saturday which were pretty packed (4 screens at my cinema) but will probably not show up on the official charts.

Next weekend: A second possible blockbuster - the first Joker movie made it to 4,2mil total back in 2019, so hopes are high that the sequel can reach at least 3mil. The market is in dire need of strong releases …

Unfortunately, I predict that Joker 2 will drop significantly from the first film just like it probably will in the US.

 

It just feels like nobody wanted a sequel to this film. But I'm of course happy to be proven wrong.

at my cinema, today's opening shows are doing alright - no sellouts but 40-50% capacity, and tomorrow's shows are booked well, too. The way it looks, 3mil total are a possibility but depend on legs (which is often a bad sign for sequels as they tend to be more frontloaded)

I think the OW will be fine since it will also have help from the federal holiday tomorrow. Legs could become a problem though if WOM is as bad as it seems it could be.

That's a fine weekend ... Joker2 a little bit behind expectations (I guess the 450k include Wednesday), but Robot and Schule stronger than I expected! Of course, cool weather is helping, but  nice nontheless. And DM4 continues to collect admissions ...

yep, as an Austrian I've overlooked the German holiday, so that helps explain the strong numbers! Next weeks look poor, that's true - no really big opener as far as I can see throughout October.
