BO Germany/Austria: Dune first 2024 blockbuster (3mil admissions)

[Olive]

it would be stunning if Ted matches Hangover II's number.

[IndustriousAngel]

Stunning, indeed - let's wait for the weekend numbers. Atm it looks as if Ted breaks the Batman without breaking a sweat.

[John Marston]

I hope Batman has a good hold

[IndustriousAngel]

I think it will; it's just that the Teddy is stronger than expected.

[Fullbuster]

What kind of final tally can we expect for TDKR in Germany? Most successful hero movie?

[IndustriousAngel]

No, that would be Hancock I believe with 3.8mil admissions in Germany compared to TDK 2.8mil. TDKR might surpass TDK but I don't see 3.8mil. Spiderman 3 had 3.1mil, that should be the goal.

[lab276]

Don't count Spider-Man? It sold just over 5m.

[IndustriousAngel]

ah ok thank you, I hadn't looked that far back - in fact nearly 5.2 million, fantastic for a SH film in Germany.

If Asterix or Shrek do not count as SH no such in the top 100.

[IndustriousAngel]

Asterix is acceptable as a superhero spoof; the best-selling Asterix film is the animated "Les Douze Travaux d'Astérix" from 1976, 7.2 million admissions in Germany. It was the third Asterix film and ist still the best one imho (animated or real); it also had an original script. No other Asterix film before or after reached such heights.

btw a new Asterix film is opening this fall; it combines the adventures in Britain with the Normans. The 4th reallife-film, and it will be in glorious 3D - you would think that with Goscinny's caricaturistic style an animated feature or mo-cap-film like Tintin would be the way to go, especially when they want 3D, but what do I know ...

[pinocchio]

Blasphemy! Goscinny was the writer, Uderzo made the drawings. ;)He's colorblind by the way.

[IndustriousAngel]

aaargh my mistake ... sorry sorry sorry!first trend for germany btw sees Ted at about 700k, TDKR 525k, Brave 325-400k and IA4 275-350k.I'm not sold on Brave beating IA4; IA4 might have the better end. Really low opening for a Pixar film, I had thought it would destroy IA4.

[Fake]

Not good for Brave......

[lab276]

Gee, Brave really can't catch break. Still, it could go up.

[IndustriousAngel]

Rather down ... at my theater, IA4 has more presales than Brave despite Brave playing twice as many shows . I guess there are more walk-ins with children but if Brave can't beat IA4 on opening Friday, I can't see it winning the other days. Reviews have been mixed or lukewarm too. Still, it's only my theater, might look better elsewhere.

[lab276]

How many screens in the theatre?

[Fake]

Ted looking at 8M weekend.

[IndustriousAngel]

8 screens; Brave plays 9 shows and IA4 5, on smaller screens too.

8 screens; Brave plays 9 shows and IA4 5, on smaller screens too.

Damn... that's a sizeable theatre. In that case, it probably is indicative of the rest of Austria and Germany.
