IndustriousAngel Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yep, Universal has a golden streak right now, with 4 releases in the Top5 But later this year, Disney will be back with SW (and maybe IO, not yet sure about that one - the late release will make piracy a serious factor), Sony with Spectre, Constantin with FJG2 ... so Universal might win the year but not have a movie in the Top3 (personally, I think Minions will end up 3rd) - and StudioCanal has a potential 4mil-release with MJ2, too. Fantastic year, 2015! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic year, 2015! It certainly helps overall admissions that this year doesn't have a major soccer event (no World or Euro Cup), unlike 2014.

I haven't yet looked at Germany but in Austria, June 2015 was just barely better than 2014 and about 15% down from 2013 ... but Germany is definitely better off this year!

juni78ukr Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Top10 in USD. Jurassic World is already the top movie of the year in gross but only third in admissions. Minions already outgrossed Despicable Me 2 in gross and not far behind in admissions. http://www.kinobusiness.com/news/germaniya-kassovye-sbory-za-uik-end-16-19-iyulya-2015/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndustriousAngel Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 whew - I thought Ant-Man was at least a lock for #3 bur now it may end up 4th over the weekend ... that's Hulk territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 And the first weekend trend for Germany from insidekino.de: #1: Minions - 575k admissions (-25%) #2: MMXL - 300k admissions (the first one had just a little more than 400k TOTAL so that's a strong number) #3/4: And-Man and Kartoffelsalat with 160k each #5: Unfriended - 120k (-35% - a little disappointing after last week's strong PTA) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndustriousAngel Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yes, Minions has already beaten DM2 during weekdays, will end up miles ahead in total! Minions is also the new nr.1 in Germany for 2015 and has delivered us finally of 50SoG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndustriousAngel Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 exactly ... I suspect it will come in nr.3 in the end (one of the three blockbusters might disappoint - 6mil is no easy target for any movie) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, really has to be good to repeat the success of nr1. And let's not forget Bond - with Skyfall's 7,8mil admissions, expectations are stellar for "Spectre" but remember that neither CR nor QS reached 6mil (QS not even 5) - and Minions might do a bit more than 6mil. And Star Wars - while having a nice vibe - is far from a lock for 6mil, either. PM did it, but Episodes 2 and 3 didn't reach the 6mil (and left a sour aftertaste, even if 3 was the best of the prequesl imho - at least it's the only one I managed to sit through). As I said, 6mil is not easy for any movie, even the next Avatar might drop below that treshold if the story doesn't catch on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but FJG 2 seems to be the most likely candidate to miss the 6mil mark.. It's definitely not guaranteed for the other two though.

Infernus Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 How much is IO expected to do here? Can it get past 30m and close to 35m? Or will piracy affect it a lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 IO would be lucky to make a third of what Minions makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
