A good weekend - and a lot stronger than the corresponding one last year, finally!

Dune 2 had an excellent hold, it's still 75% ahead of the first on and having better holds, so I think 3,5mil total are the goal atm. Kung Fu Panda 4 was also improving a lot from ist predecessors; 1,5mil total should be easily doable and depending on WOM it can of course get to 2mil. Imaginary opened higher than Miller's Girl but both had a so-so PTA. And The Zone of Interest is a phenomenon; seems to have crazy good WOM so I can see it getting to 1mil total, a big success for such an arthousey release! Farther down the chart, some old releases got re-expansions and managed to add to their totals (Poor Things has now crossed 500k)

In Austria, #1 and 2 were reversed as KFP4 opened to #1; it's already over 60k total so stronger than in Germany. Dune 2 dropped steeper than in Germany (-32%) but it was already at 208k total after Sunday, so basically head-to-head. On #3 we had domestic dramedy Andrea lässt sich scheiden which was at 142k total  after Sunday but was down to 10,8k admissons in its 4th weekend so 200k are probably out of reach - still, a surprising success! On #4 longrunning Anyone But You (by now at 247k total, much stronger than Germany); on #5 and 6 Imaginary and Miller's Girl which opened about head-to-head as in Germany. The Zone of Interest was only #7, total is now a bit over 20k - that's one of the rare releases where Germany is pulling ahead!

 

Next weekend: No blockbusters but the fifth Ghostbusters movie should attract some business - #1 and 2 will be out of reach (presales low) but I can see it getting #3. French comedy Cocorico is an interesting release; those comedies rarely open very high but often get crazy legs!

early weekend estimates from insidekino.de, no big surprises:

#1: Dune 2 - 255k (-29%, nice)

#2: KFP 4 - 230k (-23%, wow)

#3: Ghostbusters 5 - 150k (better than I expected)

#4: Zone of Interest - 85k (-23%, its first drop)

#5: Cocorico - 75k incl. some previews

One more satisfying weekend with an extremely close race for #1, good holds and two ok openers. Kung Fu Panda 4 dropped only 13% (but family releases were very strong anyway, as witnessed by the increases for Le Dernier Jaguar and Migration) and Dune 2 has crossed 2mil total with another sub-30% drop. The 5th Ghostbusters movie opened better than #4 and above my expectations, and french comedy Cocorico was off to an ok start but might catch on. The Zone of Interest had its first drop but is still on the level of its OW - super.

In Austria, KFP4 was #1 again, dropping the same 13% as in Germany but from a higher level, it's already >100k admissions after WE2. Dune 2 and Ghostbusters 5 were about on the same level as Germany (Dune now >250k after the weekend) but Cocorico opened a lot  better, already near 15k after ist first WE. On #5 and #6 we had Andrea lässt sich scheiden (has now crossed 150k total) and Anyone But You (has crossed 250k but with no chance for the Golden Ticket). Migration however has finally broken this 300k treshold - congratulations!

Next weekend: A domestic #1 should be safe with Chantal im Märchenland, a tie-in to the extremely successful "Fack Ju Göhte"-comedies. While the last of those came out in 2017, they're still popular and something like a 5-600k OW wouldn't surprise me. Also opening: Wicked Little Letters, Club Zero and One Life. My guess is that Ghostbusters will get hit harder than Dune, but overall, business should see a fine uptick!

[IndustriousAngel]

early weekend estimates for Germany from insidekino.de:

#1: Chantal - 700k (surprisingly high)

#2/3: Dune2 / KFP4 with 200k each (-22%)

#4: Ghostbusters5 - 120k (-28%)

#5: ZoneOfInterest - 50k

 

That's a satisfying weekend if these numbers come true; what's missing is the big rabbit-themed family movie which usually generates some afternoon business around Easter but otherwise really fine numbers.

A fine OW for Chantal im Märchenland and good holds for most releases - nice weekend, once more higher than the corresponding one from '23.

In Austria, Chantal was #1 with a very similar OW; KFP4 #2 and Dune2 #3 (KFP was already very close to 160k after Sunday … mucht stronger than Germany).

Next weekend: Godzilla x Kong will be the big opener - I can't see it dethroning Chantal but #2 should be easily possible.

Mark_G says he hopes that this is the worst case scenario.

Where I live pale sunshine as mostly but at least not as grey as during the week. And probably the weather is better in other regions.

Edit: Soon after my report it became absolutely beautiful weather-wise even where I live so I wouldn't expect wonders tomorrow...

Ok weekend with a decent hold for domestic comedy Chantal im Märchenland in #1; Godzilla x Kong openend within expectations, among openers, Monkey Man was the negative surprise. Le Dernier Jaguar has finally crossed 1mil total, nice!

In Austria, similar numbers but KFP4 was #2 and Godzilla #3; Dune2 was over 299k total after Sunday so it has the Golden Ticked bagged by now - congratulations!

Next weekend: Back To Black has some promotion and should become the biggest opener, maybe even Top3 material - The First Omen has also some potential but probably less than Amy.

[el sid]

The first trend from insidekino.de - all three new releases stay a little bit below the expectations:

 

#1 Chantal 240k/1.755M total admissions 

#2 Back to Black 100k (with previews)

#3 GxK 85k/325k

#4 Dune 75k/2.897.5M

#5 Kung Fu Panda 4 65k/1.412.5M

...

The First Omen 47.5k

White Bird 10k

The gruesome second trend from insidekino.de:

 

#1 Chantal 225k

#2 Back to Black 75k

#3 GxK 75k (so actually #2)

#4 Dune 2 60k

#5 Kung Fu Panda 4 45k

#6 The First Omen 40k

...

White Bird 10k

 

Clearly the weather is to blame. The weekdays should become greyer and colder again but at the moment it's very nice here. Probably some people will even (temporarily) start the BBQ season...
