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

[IndustriousAngel]

first estimates for Germany's weekend from insidekino.de:

#1: Avatar 2 - 1.175Mil admissions

#2: Hotzenplotz - 0.075Mil

 

well, at least Avatar2 is cornering the market ... not even family releases get any space to breathe. Apart from that, I was expecting a little more from the OW but this is a movie that should, like the first one, leg it beautifully through the holidays and into January, so definitely a winner.

1.15M 5-days I guess. Without WC probably 1.3M.

[Aristis]

So A2 should be around $16M for OW here.

it's what we're seeing elsewhere too, premium shows (IMAX, 4DX, Dolby Atmos ...) are selling way better than 2D. Still, I guess this is mainly OW and later on tickets will be cheaper.

As to what it means for Austria - 40.000 tickets OW for Cineplexx venues alone sounds good until you consider they have an about 50% market share in Austria. As mentioned, premium shows and evening shows are selling fine, but there's still much room in afternoon and even early evening shows. So, we'll see a massive OW of course, but not as big as No Time to Die  (to take the biggest post-covid opener).

Seems like I've been too long around the weekend thread, thinking a WE has 3 days

I don't really know but I think Germany is the only country with a 4-day-weekend? Even Austria, which is serverd by the same distributors and mostly chains, has a 3-day-one.

I thought Australia and Russia had 4-day too, but I'm not sure.

 

Austria being 3-day is unfortunate as it makes comparing the two harder than it had to be.

At this point more countries have 4-days weekend.

All of LATAM
All of Middle East
Most of Europe + France & Belgium have 5 days
All of South East Asia & ANZ

Japan is unique

 

2-days Weekend ~SAT-SUN

[Aristis]

$19,9M OW per estimates, 3rd biggest OS territory. I hope it goes beyond $20M with actuals but that's a great start for the movie here. 

[XXR vs XXR]

4-5x likely?

 

[MrHardapple]

As I said, $100 million is the goal here in Germany.

Not impossible.

[titanic2187]

Finally Germany BO feel alive a bit.

4x for germany for a holiday release would be horrendous. Let us see how rest of holidays go before we predict the legs.
