[IndustriousAngel]

First trend for Germany's weekend:

MJ1 stays on top with about 625k admissions (-45%, in line with HG)

#2: Penguins - 375k, a bit behind expectations, will be very difficult to reach 3mil (I had it on the possible-blockbuster list)

#3: IS - 125k (-35%)

#4: KtB2 - 115k

That is good news, so the legs will be equal. That is good to hear

[IndustriousAngel]

Yep, has a good chance to be Germany's #2 on the 2014 charts, only beaten by Hobbit3. But it will be close, QecqoafaBD is already at 3,6mil admissions and is still adding a few admissions every week.

[lab276]

Another good drop for IS too.

[IndustriousAngel]

Final weekend trend for Germany:

#1: MJ1 - 650k admissions

#2: Penguins - 375k

#3: IS - 115k

#4: KtB2 - 105k

#5: Mannschaft - 75k

No sensations, just ok numbers (a bit meh for the openers but not too shabby, either). MJ1 will probably surpass CF's total by about 10% and should be nr.1 for 2014 until the Hobbit strikes.

[IndustriousAngel]

First trend for Germany's weekend:

#1: MJ1 - 375k admissions (very close to HG)

#2: Paddington - 225k - 375k

#3: Penguins - 200k

 

That's not as good as hoped-for for Paddington ... with the notable exception of MJ1, most openers in the last weeks were below expectations.

 

edit: Saturday trend not much different.

Final weekend trend for Germany:

#1: MJ1 - 385k admissions (-40%, still ahead of HG by about 10%)

#2: Paddington - 275k (meh but hopefully good legs)

#3: Penguins - 250k (-35%, ok with that bear opening)

#4: Alles ist Liebe - 115k (another opener underperforming)

#5: Interstellar - 75k (-35%, Hobbit3 will be the death of this I guess)

TH opens in 3 days. How does it look?

[IndustriousAngel]

Looks good. The Hobbit triple features are selling like crazy and the usual presales look a bit higher than AUJ/DOS too so overall I think it can be 10-15% higher after opening weekend. Of course, it's possible that this will lead to a drop the weekend after - depends on the quality, too. But I think the shorter running time will give it a bit of an edge, and I'm hoping for >6mil admissions total in Germany, again.

Good for MJ1 - but the question is, can it catch QecqoafaBD in time to become Germany's nr1 for 2014 for a few days before being overtaken by Hobbit3? H3 should be at or above 4mil admissions after its 3rd weekend, so MJ1 has to reach those 3,7mil admissions it needs by Dec 24th. It will be difficult, now that H3 is grabbing screeens like crazy.

 

Paddington's opening seemed a bit meh but I hadn't realised this was so far behind Penguins in theaters - with its good PTA, Paddington should be in for a great hold and maybe even a slight expansion next weekend.

 

German remake of dutch romcom "Alles ist Liebe" had embarassing numbers, really.

 

As to Woody's latest - "Magic in the Moonlight" couted less than half the admissions of BlueJasmine which opened at a similar time. No chance to sugarcoat these numbers, that's a bona fide flop for Woody

 

Next weekend: HOBBIT 3 is the only wide opener, of course. Including midnights/triple features, it should clear 1.3mil admissions if it wants to do similar numbers to H2 and 1.

[IndustriousAngel]

First trend for Germany's weekend:

#1: Hobbit3 - 1.35-1.45mil admissions (including a lot of previews)

#2: Paddington - 275k admissions (flat as expected)

#3: MJ1 - 200k (-50%)

#4: Penguins - 175k (-30%)

Is this 3 day or 5 day, and how does it compare to the AUJ and DoS

[Olive]

TH1 1.238.266 5-day

TH2 1.259.086 4-day

TH3 1.35-1.45 mil 5?

It could be more frontloaded than the first two though thanks to the finale factor.

It could be more frontloaded than the first two though thanks to the finale factor.

It will be, but maybe more because of triple features and midnights - the opening weekday was very strong. Weekend business doesn't look stronger than H1 or 2. Anyway, a good start, but of course the next 3 weekends need to be good also (remember that H1 had its strongest weekend in week 3!)
