Mary Poppins will probably end somewhere around 1mil total, a "meh" number at best for a big Disney release ... Bumblebee will miss the million by a lot (the 150k are already including previews), what a decline for this franchise but as Taruseth mentioned, that's better than expected (frankly, I don't know where those 150k come frome, definitely an outright flop at my theater).

I think 1mil for Mary Poppins is pretty awful...

If there are any country outside Uk (and USA and maybe australia) were I expected it to do good business those countries are Japan and Germany.

It's the only animation out, apart from ITSV.

And ITSV had a very comic like animation style and is a superhero and both aren't that popular here and kind of totally flopped like opening below ME. (In $ it opened with HALF! of ME)

Germany has always been fond of crappy animation.

Sadly i have to agree. I dont know how Ice Age 4 in particular was so successfull here. And the Despicable/Minions films...

[Omni]

As IndustriousAngel said some weeks ago, animation in Germany is confined in "stuff for kids", meaning it tends (as a general rule) to be more successful when it strictly appeals to children (read: when the product is dumb and unrefined).

I think the grinch is a harmless fun movie its not excellent like some of Pixar movies but better then some Pixar garbage like cars and the good dinosaur

Yeah.  
Those are real kid films and they do so much better than really good animation films. 
I think Disney's animation (WDAS and Pixar) are often to mature for kids. (Don't know how to explain it)

And I might be wrong, but I'd say, that those films have stronger evening showings. Like for movies like Inside out the evening shows (later than 8 were pretty full, while for minions they were rather empty, but Minions had really full afternoon shows, which aren't that full for Disney)

It's sad to see Mortal Engines flop like that.


I'd much rather have another one of those films then the tenth superhero movie.

I'd not say it's flopping, it's not a good run but the real flop last weekend was Spider-Verse.

beside the first part being then successful here, personally I do not know anyone who had seen it then in the cinemas. Maybe they died out? Maybe another mix of age groups watched it here than e.g. in the US? Less children of an age that actually liked it then?

Maybe less reruns on TV? I do not know anyone who ever watched it there neither, but I didn't ask all potentials

= I was surprised a lot about the high expectations here

Yeah, I probably had to high expectations, because I love MP, but I think most of my friends aren't big fans or don't even know it.

True.
I should have done a lot more considering the fact that in my opinion it's better than most other movies.

Without Star WARS brand in this year-end holiday season, I would assume market space will be freed up and give holdover sweet-sweet increase next week

Ahh, so you will be able to answer this I guess:

I think that would also be the case even with a Star Wars movie around. Movies held excellently against all three Star Wars christmas releases AND other new releases at the same time.

Yes, all songs got a German version. I think that was standard for all Disney movies back then. They wouldn't really let a movie have so much english in it.

 

In this particular movie, the German voice was split into one for dialogue (Uta Hallant) and one for the singing (Monika Dahlberg). And you can definately hear the difference between the two
